USING THE ELECTRIC GRIDDLE (120cm models only)
Seasoning the griddle (and Chef Top)
Before using the griddle for the first time, it must be seasoned.
If the griddle has not been used for a period of time, it should be re-seasoned.
1. Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove any protective coating.
2. Rinse with a mixture of 1 litre water and 1 cup white vinegar. Dry thoroughly.
3. Pour 1 tsp vegetable oil into the centre of the griddle. Rub the oil over the entire surface of the griddle using a heavy cloth.
4. Turn the control knob to a maximum setting. Turn the heat off when the oil begins to smoke. Allow the griddle to cool.
5. Repeat step 3. Be sure to cover the entire surface with the oil.
6. Repeat step 4. Allow the griddle to cool. Wipe the entire surface of the griddle using a heavy cloth. Apply a very thin layer
of vegetable oil. The griddle is now ready to use.
Using the griddle
Press and turn the knob anti-clockwise to the selected position
Pre-heat at the maximum temperature for 15 minutes, then place the food on the griddle and cook to the desired
temperature.
The activation of the griddle is shown by the indicator light which is also found on the front panel of the appliance.

CAST IRON GRIDDLE
A griddle is available as an optional accessory, see the Accessories section on page 36.
To use a griddle:
1. Place the griddle on top of the pan support.
2. Pre-heat the griddle on full power for 4-5 minutes before adding the food. Most foods (eggs in particular) will require a
small amount of oil to help prevent sticking. Turn the food half-way through the cooking time to sear both sides. The
more the griddle is used, the better the cast iron will absorb oils, giving it a natural non-stick finish.
INDUCTION HOBS
An induction coil is located under each cooking zone.
An induction zone only works when a ferrous (or ferromagnetic) pan is placed
on it. Heat is only generated in the area covered by the pan.
How induction works
The coil (1) creates an electromagnetic field (2) when a ferrous pan is on the
induction zone and the power is turned on. The electromagnetic field (2)
creates an electric current in the base of the pan, which generates heat. When
the pan is removed from the induction zone or when the element is turned off,
the heat generation stops.
The cooking zone will not work if:

it is used without a pan in place

an unsuitable pan (i.e. a non-ferrous pan) is used

if the base of the pan is too small for the zone
In these situations “U” will show on the hob display.
Pans
Suitable pans include:

Stainless steel pans with a magnetic base

Enamelled steel pans

Cast iron pans (just ensure that the base is flat and smooth)

Pans can be +/- 30mm larger or smaller than the zone used
Unsuitable pans include:

Stainless steel pans without a magnetic base

Aluminium and copper pans

Glass, ceramic or earthenware pots and pans
An easy way to test pan suitability is to hold a magnet to the middle of the base of the pan. If the magnet sticks, the pan
is suitable. Please note that the properties of the pan base may affect the evenness with which the contents of the pan
heat up.
For best results, do not select a cooking zone that is smaller than the pan. A pan that is too small for the zone may not
be recognised.
