INDUCTION COOKING

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.Caple-C845i-Slider-Touch-Control-Induction-Hob-fig (3)

USING THE 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.Caple-C845i-Slider-Touch-Control-Induction-Hob-fig (4)

CHOOSING THE RIGHT COOKWARE

  • 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, aluminum, or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.
  • 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.Caple-C845i-Slider-Touch-Control-Induction-Hob-fig (5)

If you do not have a magnet:

    1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.
    2. If Caple-C845i-Slider-Touch-Control-Induction-Hob-fig 23does 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, aluminum or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.Caple-C845i-Slider-Touch-Control-Induction-Hob-fig (6)

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 that have a diameter as large as the graphic of the zone selected. Using a pan slightly wider, will mean energy is used at its maximum efficiency. If you use smaller pan efficiency could be less than expected. A pan less than the minimum dimensions detailed below could be undetected by the hob.Caple-C845i-Slider-Touch-Control-Induction-Hob-fig (7)

Always lift pans off the induction hob – do not slide them or they may scratch the glass.Caple-C845i-Slider-Touch-Control-Induction-Hob-fig (8)

When the pot is removed, the induction hob can stop heating immediately and the hob automatically switches off after 2 minutes. People with a heart pacemaker should consult with their doctor before using this product.

TIMER CONTROL

You can use the timer in two different ways:

  • You can use it as a minute minder. In this case, the timer will not turn any cooking zones off when the set time is up.
  • You can set it to turn one cooking zone off after the set time is up.
  • You can set the timer up to 99 minutes.Caple-C845i-Slider-Touch-Control-Induction-Hob-fig (15)Caple-C845i-Slider-Touch-Control-Induction-Hob-fig (16)
  • All other cooking zones will continue operating if they were turned on previously.

COOKING GUIDELINES

Take care when frying as oil and fat heat up very quickly. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.

COOKING TIPS

  • When food comes to a boil, reduce the temperature setting.
  • Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
  • Minimise 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

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 flavoursome steaks:

  1. Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
  2. Heat up a heavy-based frying pan.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax and become tender before serving.

STIR-FRYING

  1. Choose an induction-compatible flat-based wok or a large frying pan.
  2. Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick. If cooking large quantities, cook the food in several smaller batches.
  3. Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
  4. Cook any meat first, put it aside and keep warm.
  5. 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.
  6. Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.
  7. Serve immediately.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
The induction hob cannot be turned on. No power. Make sure the induction hob is connected to the power supply and that it is switched on. Check whether there is a power outage in your home or area. If you’ve checked everything and the problem persists, call a qualified technician.
The touch controls are unresponsive. The controls are locked. Unlock the controls. See section ‘Using your induction hob’ for instructions.
The touch controls are

difficult to operate.

There may be a slight film of water over the controls or you may be using the tip of your finger when touching the controls. Make sure the touch control area is dry and use the ball of your finger when touching the controls.
The glass is being scratched. Rough-edged cookware.

Unsuitable, abrasive scourer or cleaning products being used.

Use cookware with flat and smooth bases.

See ‘Choosing the right cookware’. See ‘Care and Maintenance’.

Some pans make crackling or clicking noises. This may be caused by the construction of your cookware (layers of different metals vibrating differently). This is normal for cookware and does not indicate a fault.
The induction hob makes a low humming noise when used on a high heat setting. This is caused by the technology of induction cooking. This is normal, but the noise should quieten down or disappear completely when you decrease the heat setting.
Fan noise coming from the induction hob. A cooling fan built into your induction hob has come on to prevent the electronics from overheating. It may continue to run even after you’ve turned the induction hob off. This is normal and needs no action. Do not switch the power to the induction hob off at the wall while the fan is running.
Pans do not become hot and appears in the display. The induction hob cannot detect the pan because it is not suitable for induction cooking.

The induction hob cannot detect the pan because it is too small for the cooking zone or not properly centred on it.

Use cookware suitable for induction cooking. See section ‘Choosing the right cookware’.

Centre the pan and make sure that its base matches the size of the cooking zone.
