PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Top View
Control Panel
NOTE
All the pictures in this manual are for explanation purpose only. Any discrepancy between the real object and the illustration in the drawing shall be subject to the real subject.
Working Theory
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology. It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the pan, rather than indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because the pan eventually warms it up.
Before Using Your New Induction Hob
- Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
- Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction hob.
QUICK START GUIDE
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using PowerBoost. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.
Cooking Tips
- When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting.
- Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
- Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
- Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated through.
Simmering, Cooking rice
- Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 85˚C, when bubbles are just rising occasionally to the surface of the cooking liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and tender stews because the flavours develop without overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based and flour thickened sauces below boiling point.
- Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a setting higher than the lowest setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time recommended.
Searing Steak
To cook juicy flavorsome steaks:
- Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
- Heat up a heavy-based frying pan.
- Brush both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and then lower the meat onto the hot pan.
- Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the steak and how cooked you want it. Times may vary from about 2 – 8 minutes per side. Press the steak to gauge how cooked it is – the firmer it feels the more ‘well done’ it will be.
- Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax and become tender before serving.
For Stir-frying
- Choose an induction compatible flat-based wok or a large frying pan.
- Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick. If cooking large quantities, cook the food in several smaller batches.
- Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
- Cook any meat first, put it aside and keep warm.
- Stir-fry the vegetables. When they are hot but still crisp, turn the cooking zone to a lower setting, return the meat to the pan and add your sauce.
- Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.
- Serve immediately.
Detection of Small Articles
When an unsuitable size or non-magnetic pan (e.g. aluminium), or some other small item (e.g. knife, fork, key) has been left on the hob, the hob automatically go on to standby in 1 minute. The fan will keep cooking down the induction hob for a further 1 minute.
Heat Settings
The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on several factors, including your cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment with the induction hob to find the settings that best suit you.

PRODUCT INSTALLATION
Selection of Installation Equipment
Cut out the work surface according to the sizes shown in the drawing.
For the purpose of installation and use, a minimum of 5 cm space shall be preserved around the hole. Be sure the thickness of the work surface is at least 30mm. Please select heat-resistant and insulated work surface material (Wood and similar fibrous or hygroscopic material shall not be used as work surface material unless impregnated) to avoid the electrical shock and larger deformation caused by the heat radiation from the hotplate. As shown below:
Note: The safety distance between the sides of the hob and the inner surfaces of the worktop should be at least 3mm.
L(mm) | W(mm) | H(mm) | D(mm) | A(mm) | B(mm) | X(mm) | F(mm) |
590 | 520 | 53 | 49 | 560+1 | 480+1 | 50 mini | 3 mini |
Under any circumstances, make sure the Induction cooker hob is well ventilated and the air inlet and outlet are not blocked. Ensure the induction cooker hob is in good work state. As shown below

A(mm) | B(mm) | C(mm) | D | E |
760 mini | 15 mini | 20 mini | Air intake | Air exit 2mm |
WARNING: Ensuring Adequate Ventilation
Make sure the induction cooker hob is well ventilated and that air inlet and outlet are not blocked. In order to avoid accidental touch with the overheating bottom of the hob, or getting unexpectable electric shock during working, it is necessary to put a wooden insert, fixed by screws, at a minimum distance of 15mm from the bottom of the hob. Follow the requirements below.
There are ventilation holes around outside of the hob. YOU MUST ensure these holes are not blocked by the worktop when you put the hob into position.
- Be aware that the glue that join the plastic or wooden material to the furniture, has to resist to temperature not below 150°C, to avoid the unstuck of the paneling.
- The rear wall, adjacent and surrounding surfaces must therefore be able to withstand an temperature of 90°C.
Before Installing the Hob, Make Sure That
- The work surface is square and level, and no structural members interfere with space requirements.
- The work surface is made of a heat-resistant and insulated material.
- If the hob is installed above an oven, the oven has a built-in cooling fan.
- The installation will comply with all clearance requirements and applicable standards and regulations.
- A suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power supply is incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and positioned to comply with the local wiring rules and regulations.
- The isolating switch must be of an approved type and provide a 3 mm air gap contact separation in all poles (or in all active [phase] conductors if the local wiring rules allow for this variation of the requirements).
- The isolating switch will be easily accessible to the customer with the hob installed.
- You consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding installation.
- You use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the wall surfaces surrounding the hob.
Before installing onto the workbench, it is necessary to stick the sealing strip onto the back of the glass plate:
- Flip the entire machine over to the back of the glass plate;
- Take out the sponge strip from the self-sealing bag and tear off the double-sided adhesive on the back of the sponge strip;
- Stick the sponge strip onto the back of the glass plate.
- The sponge strip should not exceed the edge of the glass plate.
After Installing the Hob, Make Sure That
- The power supply cable is not accessible through cupboard doors or drawers.
- There is adequate flow of fresh air from outside the cabinetry to the base of the hob.
- If the hob is installed above a drawer or cupboard space, a thermal protection barrier is installed below the base of the hob.
- The isolating switch is easily accessible by the customer.
Before Locating the Fixing Brackets
The unit should be placed on a stable, smooth surface (use the packaging). Do not apply force onto the controls protruding from the hob.
Adjusting the Bracket Position
Fix the hob on the work surface by insert 4 brackets on the bottom of hob(see picture) before installation.
Adjust the bracket position to suit for different table top thickness.
Under any circumstances, the brackets cannot touch with the inner surfaces of the worktop after installation (see picture).
CAUTIONS

Connecting the Hob to the Mains Power Supply
This hob must be connected to the mains power supply only by a suitably qualified person. Before connecting the hob to the mains power supply, check that:
- The domestic wiring system is suitable for the power drawn by the hob.
- The voltage corresponds to the value given in the rating plate.
- The power supply cable sections can withstand the load specified on the rating plate. To connect the hob to the mains power supply, do not use adapters, reducers, or branching devices, as they can cause overheating and fire.
The power supply cable must not touch any hot parts and must be positioned so that its temperature will not exceed 75˚C at any point.
Check with an electrician whether the domestic wiring system is suitable without alterations. Any alterations must only be made by a qualified electrician.
- If the cable is damaged or to be replaced, the operation must be carried out the by after-sale agent with dedicated tools to avoid any accidents.
- If the appliance is being connected directly to the mains an omnipolar circuit-breaker must be installed with a minimum opening of 3mm between contacts.
- The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has been made and that it is compliant with safety regulations.
- The cable must not be bent or compressed.
- The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians.
The bottom surface and the power cord of the hob are not accessible after installation.
Touch Controls
- The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
- Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
- You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
- Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g. a utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate.
Choosing
- Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking.
Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan. - You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test.
Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction. - If you do not have a magnet:
- Put some water in the pan you want to check.
- If does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
- Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.
Cookware bases with aluminium content.
- These reduce the ferromagnetic area ,whitch means that less power is emitted to the Cookware. This cookware may not be sufficiently detected or may not be detected at all,And therefore does not heat sufficienty.
- Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
- Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the same size as the cooking zone. Use pans whose diameter is as large as the graphic of the zone selected. Using a pot a slightly wider energy will be used at its maximum efficiency. If you use smaller pot efficiency could be less than expected. Pot less than 140 mm could be undetected by the hob. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
- Always lift pans off the Induction hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
Pan Dimension
The cooking zones are, up to a limit, automatically adapted to the diameter of the pan. However the bottom of this pan must have a minimum of diameter according to the corresponding cooking zone. To obtain the best efficiency of your hob, please place the pan in the center of the cooking zone.
Cooking zone | The base diameter of induction cookware | |
Minimum (mm) | Maximum (mm) | |
1,2,3,4 | 100 | 220 |
