How does induction cooking work?

The induction cooking system is based on the physical phenomenon of magnetic induction. When the electronic circuit is switched on, it transmits energy directly to the bottom of the cooking vessel in the form of an electromagnetic field. The cookware transforms this energy into heat which spreads instantly inside it, allowing cooking to start. Only the cookware is heated; the cooktop remains relatively cool. It is efficient, as heat is generated directly in the pan, reducing energy loss.

How do I turn on an induction cooking element?

Place suitable induction cookware on the desired cooking zone.

Push the corresponding control knob inwards and turn it counter-clockwise to the desired power level (typically 1 to 9 or P for Power Boost).

The power level will be indicated on the cooktop display (if applicable) or by the knob position.

If no cookware or unsuitable cookware is detected, a symbol (often ‘U’) may flash, and the zone will not heat.


What special functions are available on the induction cooktop?

Induction cooktops often include functions like:

Power Boost (P): Provides maximum power for a short duration (e.g., 5-10 minutes) for rapid heating, like boiling water. Accessed by turning the knob past the highest setting.

Residual Heat Indicator (H): Indicates if a cooking zone is still hot after being turned off.

Pan Detection: Automatically detects if suitable cookware is placed on the zone.

Other functions like timers or specific heat settings might be available depending on the exact model.


What cookware is suitable for induction cooktops?

Cookware must have a ferromagnetic bottom. Suitable materials include:

Enameled steel

Cast iron

Special stainless steel designed for induction cooking

To check suitability, see if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan. If it does, it’s likely suitable.

Unsuitable materials include:

Glass

Ceramic

Earthenware

Aluminum

Copper

Non-magnetic stainless steel

Cookware should have a flat, thick bottom. The diameter of the pan base should match the cooking zone size for optimal efficiency.


Is it normal to hear noises during induction cooking?

Yes, certain noises can be normal during induction cooking:

A low hum: Especially at high power levels, caused by the energy transmission.

Whistling: Can occur if the cookware base is made of different materials (sandwich construction) or when using multiple zones simultaneously at high power.

Crackling: May occur with cookware made of layers of different materials.

Clicking: Due to electronic switching, especially at lower power levels.

Fan noise: The internal cooling fan operates to keep electronics cool.

These noises depend on the cookware used and are generally not a sign of a defect.

What are some recommendations for using the induction cooktop?

Use cookware with a flat, smooth bottom to ensure good contact and prevent scratching the glass.

Lift cookware; do not slide it across the glass surface.

Center the cookware on the cooking zone.

Do not place metal objects (knives, forks, spoons, lids, cans, foil) on the cooktop as they can get hot.

Persons with pacemakers should consult their doctor or the manufacturer regarding potential interference.

Clean spills immediately to prevent burning onto the surface.

Avoid placing hot lids flat on the control panel area.


What are the oven shelf positions?

The oven typically has multiple shelf positions, numbered from bottom to top. Refer to the oven cooking charts or specific recipe recommendations for the best shelf position for different types of food and cooking modes. Position 1 is the lowest.

What is the purpose of the cooling fan?

The appliance is equipped with a cooling fan to reduce the temperature of the external surfaces. The fan automatically switches on during cooking and may continue to run for a period after the oven is switched off to cool down internal components and external surfaces like the control panel and door.

Should I preheat the oven?

Preheating is generally recommended for baking and roasting to ensure the oven reaches the correct temperature before food is placed inside. For convection modes, preheating times are often shorter. For broiling, preheating is usually necessary for 5-10 minutes. Refer to specific recipes or cooking charts. Some foods or cooking methods may not require preheating.

How do I use the oven?

Select the desired cooking function using the function selector knob.

Set the required temperature using the temperature selector knob.

Preheat the oven if necessary (wait until the indicator light, if present, cycles off or the temperature gauge reaches the set temperature).

Place the food in the oven on the appropriate shelf position.

Monitor the cooking process.

When cooking is complete, turn both the function and temperature knobs to the OFF position.


What are the different oven cooking modes?

Cooking modes vary by model but typically include:

CONVECTION BAKE: Uses the fan and rear heating element for even heat distribution. Ideal for multi-level baking, roasting.

BAKE: Uses bottom heat only. Good for slow cooking or finishing dishes.

UPPER BAKE: Uses top heat only. Suitable for browning or finishing.

CONVECTION BROIL: Uses the fan and broil element. Good for thicker cuts of meat, provides faster broiling with less splatter.

BROIL: Uses the top broil element only for intense top heat. Ideal for searing, browning, grilling thinner cuts.

Other modes might include Pizza, Defrost, Warming, Proofing depending on the specific model.

Refer to the control panel icons and manual descriptions for your specific model.

What special functions does the oven offer?

Special functions might include:

DEFROST: Uses the fan only (no heat) to circulate air for faster defrosting.

PROOFING: Provides a low, consistent temperature ideal for rising yeast doughs.

WARMING: Maintains a low temperature to keep cooked food warm.

Refer to your specific model’s manual for available special functions.


Why is there condensation in the oven?

It is normal for steam and condensation to be produced during cooking, especially when cooking foods with high water content (e.g., frozen foods, vegetables). This moisture typically vents out. Condensation might be visible on the door glass, especially when the oven is cold or during preheating. This usually dissipates as the oven heats up. Excessive condensation can sometimes occur if the oven door seal is damaged or if large quantities of very moist food are cooked.

How can I get the best results from my oven?

Use the recommended oven mode and temperature for the type of food.

Preheat the oven when required.

Use the correct shelf position.

Avoid opening the oven door frequently, especially during baking.

Use appropriate cookware (size and material).

Allow proper air circulation; do not cover entire racks or block vents.

Refer to the cooking charts and recommendations in the manual.

For convection cooking, you may need to adjust temperature (often lower) or cooking time (often shorter) compared to conventional recipes.


What are the general oven cooking recommendations?

Refer to the table provided in the manual which suggests cooking modes, temperatures, shelf positions, and approximate times for various foods like cakes, pastries, meats, poultry, fish, pizza, etc. These are guidelines; results may vary based on recipe, quantity, and initial food temperature. (Example table structure – actual data is in the PDF)
Food Type Function Temperature (°F/°C) Shelf Position Time (approx.)
Cakes CONVECTION BAKE 325°F / 160°C 2 or 3 Varies
Roast Chicken CONVECTION BAKE 375°F / 190°C 2 Varies by weight

What are the recommendations for broiling?

Use the BROIL or CONVECTION BROIL function.

Always broil with the oven door closed.

Preheat the broil element for 5-10 minutes.

Place food on the broiler pan grid (supplied with the range) over the broiler pan base to allow fat to drip away.

Use higher shelf positions for faster browning/searing or thinner cuts.

Use lower shelf positions for thicker cuts or slower cooking.

Turn food over partway through cooking.

Monitor food closely as broiling cooks quickly.

CONVECTION BROIL circulates air for faster, more even results, especially for thicker items.


How does the oven temperature gauge work?

The oven temperature gauge provides a visual indication of the approximate oven temperature. It is a guide and may not reflect the exact temperature instantaneously, especially during preheating or temperature changes. Use it in conjunction with the thermostat setting and preheating indicators (if available).

How do I use the telescopic glides?

Telescopic glides (if equipped) allow oven racks to slide smoothly in and out, making it easier and safer to access food.

To use, pull the rack forward using the front edge or handle until it stops.

Place food on or remove food from the rack.

Push the rack back into the oven until it stops.

Ensure the glides are properly seated on the shelf supports.

They can usually be removed for cleaning by releasing locking tabs or mechanisms (refer to specific instructions for your model).

How does induction cooking work?

Underneath each cooking zone there is a coil called an inductor. The inductor generates a variable magnetic field using electric power. When a pan is placed inside this magnetic field, the high frequency current radiates directly on the bottom of the pan and produce the heat needed to cook.

What does the ‘H’ symbol on the display mean?

After use the display can show the symbol H if there is residual heat. The symbol H go out when the temperature drops to below about 140°F/60°C.

How do I turn on an induction element?

The symbol above each knob indicates which element that knob controls. The operation power is regulated through the knob and is shown by a display on the cooktop surface. To turn on the heating zone, press in the control knob (Fig. 24) and turn it clockwise. Settings range from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 9.

How does the Heating Accelerator mode work?

The Heating Accelerator mode allows each zone to be operated at peak power for a time proportional to the heating power selected.

• Turn the knob anti-clockwise, select setting “A” and then release. The letter A will appear on the display on the cooktop area.

• After 3 seconds, you may select the heating setting of your choice. Once a setting between 1 and 9 has been selected, A and the chosen setting will flashing sequence on the display.

While the heating accelerator is in operation, the heating level can be increased at any time. The “full power” time will be modified accordingly. If the power is reduced by turning the knob anticlockwise, option “A” is automatically deactivated.

What is Power Mode and how do I use it?

The power mode allows the user to operate each heating zone continuously at the maximum power for a time of no more than 10 minutes. This mode can be used to bring a large amount of water to the boil in a hurry, or to turn up the heat under meat.

• Turn the knob clockwise and set heating level to 9, then use the knob to set the “P” position and release it.

The symbol P will appear on the corresponding zone display. After 10 minutes, the power will be reduced automatically to 9 and the P will disappear. The power mode can be turned off at any time by reducing the heating level. If a pan is removed from the cooking zone while the power function is on, the function is switched off.

What is Holding Mode and how do I use it?

The holding mode keeps the temperature of the bottoms of pans at about 160°F/70℃. This allows foods to be heated gently and kept hot with optimal energy consumption. Holding mode can be kept in operation for up to 2 hours. The holding mode symbol is indicated by the relevant symbol on the cooking zones.

How does the Bridge Mode work?

The bridge mode allows to use the 2 right-side cooking zones as a single cooking zone. Power Mode is not allowed when the zones are operated in Bridge mode.

• Rotate both knobs, rear right and front right, at the same time in the “P” position and keep the knobs in that position.

• The symbol will blink in the display, then return to the power level.

• To control the bridge power level, use the knob 4 (front right zone). If you turn knob 3 (rear right zone) the display shows a horizontal segment and the bridge function ends.


How do I activate the Child Lock function?

When not in use, the cooktop area can be “locked out” to prevent children from accidentally switching it on. With the cooking zones off, turn the knobs of zones 1 and 2 to the left simultaneously until L appears on the power display and then release the knobs.

How do I deactivate the Child Lock function?

To deactivate it, repeat the same procedure: the cooking zone displays will stop displaying the L, indicating that the cooking zone LOCK has been deactivated.

What is Pan Detection?

Each cooking zone is equipped with a “pan detection” device, which ensures that cooking cannot start unless a suitable pan is present on the cooking zone and properly positioned. If the user attempts to switch on the cooking zone with the pan not positioned properly or with a pan which is not of suitable material, the symbol U will appear a few seconds after the zone is switched on to warn the user that an error has been made.

What does a flashing ‘H’ mean?

RESIDUAL HEAT: Each cooking zone is equipped with a device which warns of residual heat. After any cooking zone is switched off, a flashing H may appear on the display, warning that the cooking zone is still very hot. Cooking can be restarted while the H is flashing.

What type of cookware is suitable for induction cooktops?

Induction technology requires iron or magnetic steel cookware in order to generate the magnetic field necessary for the heating process. Cookware made of glass, porcelain, ceramic or aluminum will not work on an induction cooktop. Pots made of glass, porcelain, ceramic are not suitable. Pots made with steel, aluminium or copper without magnetic bottom will also not work. Most suitable pans are marked for use with induction.

How can I check if my pan is suitable for induction?

To check whether a pan is suitable, simply place a magnet close to its bottom: if the magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan, the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If you don’t have a magnet handy, place a small amount of water in the pan, place the pan on any cooking zone and switch it on. If the symbol U appears on the display, the pan is not suitable.

What are the requirements for induction pans?

Use only vessels specially designed for induction cooking, with thick, completely flat bottom. If these are not available, the pans used must not have a round (concave or convex) bottom. Pans that are not completely flat and have a recessed bottom leave an air gap between pot and cooktop, which during operation can reach high temperatures that can damage the glass top and the inductors below the glass. The pans must have certain minimum diameter to ensure optimal operation. Pans larger than the cooking zones can also be used: make sure that the bottom of the pan does not touch other cooking zones and that it is always centered over the inductor.

Is noise during induction cooktop operation normal?

NOISE DURING OPERATION: A pulsating humming or buzzing sound during operation is normal, and can vary in intensity with different types of cookware. It is normal to hear a fan noise after switching the induction hob off.

What are the recommended pan diameters and uses for each burner type?

INDUCTION DIMENSION:

What are the general recommendations for using the induction cooktop?

RECOMMENDATIONS:

• Always place your pan in such a way that its center is aligned with the centre of the element.

• Pick-up your cookware when moving them around. Do not slide them and avoid excessive rubbing of the top, as this may leave scratches on the glass surface.

• Never leave an empty pot/pan on an induction heating element, even when the element is turned OFF.

• Only use maximum power for boiling and frying.

• Avoid preheating your non-stick pans (e. g. with teflon coating) at maximum heat.

• Avoid storing solids and heavy items in the cabinets above your cooktop. They may accidentally be dropped and damage the glass top.

• Place extra care to avoid spilling sugar or sweet mixtures onto the cooktop area during cooking, and avoid materials or substances which might melt (plastic or aluminium foil) on it. If this occurs, turn the heating off immediately and clean with the scraper supplied while the cooking zone is still warm. If the ceramic cooktop area is not cleaned immediately, residues may form which may not be removed once the cooktop area has cooled.

How does the UPPER BAKE mode work and what are the recommended rack positions?

UPPER BAKE: Heat from upper element only. Use this setting for browning and reheating dishes such as lasagne, moussaka and cauliflower cheese. The up Bake mode is best for baking on one rack.

• Standard bake, level 3 or 4

• Tall items, level 3

• Pies, level 4 or 5 to ensure the top of the crust is done without over-browning the bottom.


How does the BROIL mode work and what are the recommended rack positions?

BROIL: Heat from the broil element only. The BROIL setting creates intense heat from the top of the cavity. The broil mode is effective when food is placed on upper racks.

• Beef steaks, ground meat patties, and lamb chops 1 inch or less: level 6.

• Meat 1 inches or more thick, fish, poultry, pork chops, ham steaks 1 inch or more: level 5.

• Browning food: level 6 (no longer than 15 mins).


How does the CONVECTION BROIL mode work and what are the recommended rack positions?

CONVECTION BROIL: Heat from broil element and air flow convection with fan. Use this setting for browning and cooking evenly food on all sides, including bottom. Also recommended for food that is too delicate to turn over such as fish. The fan circulates hot air around the food helping to cook it all the way through. The degree of browning on each side might be different. The conv broil mode must be used on one rack.

• sausages and chicken portions: level 5 or 6

• foods with high water content such as bacon and chops: level 5 or 6 (door closed 400°F).


How does the CONVECTION BAKE mode work and what are the recommended rack positions?

CONVECTION BAKE: Heat from upper and lower bake element and air flow convection with fan. Use this setting to bake and roast different foods at the same time with no taste transfer. The fan circulates the hot air around the oven for uniform cooking of larger quantities of food. Use for roasting vegetables, meat and poultry, or baked fish. This function is the best one for cooking frozen products and breaded/battered chicken or fish. It may be used for cakes, cookies, biscuits and other foods on multiple racks. Use the same rack position as BAKE. When using 2 racks, use level 3 and 5.

How does the CONVECTION mode work and what are the recommended rack positions?

CONVECTION: Heat from the convection element and airflow convection with fan. Use this mode for most recipes being careful at calibrating the time. Less time is usually required to reach the desired result when using convection. The temperature is kept uniform throughout the oven, which is particularly suitable for baking on several levels or for batch cooking.

• Single rack: use the same rack position as bake

• 2 racks: use level 3 and 5

• 3 racks: use level 2, 4, 6.


How does the PIZZA mode work and what rack level should I use?

PIZZA: Heat from lower bake element and circular element and airflow convection with fan. Use for cooking pizza, pastry or flat breads to get a perfectly cooked base. Use level 3 or level 2 to ensure the bottom of the crust is done.

Place the frozen food on a baking sheet. Turn the function knob to ‘CONV’. DO NOT turn on Oven Temperature Control Knob.

Is condensation in the oven normal?

CONDENSATION: It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to evaporate from the food during any cooking process. The amount depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture will condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control panel.

Can I use aluminum foil in the oven?

USING ALUMINUM FOIL IN THE OVEN: Foil can be used to cover food in the oven but this should not come into close proximity with the oven elements. Foil should not be used to line the oven cavity or grill pan. This can cause overheating, buckling and cracking of the enamel surfaces. (Note: A previous section advised NEVER to use foil on racks or bottom).

How can I get the best results when baking/roasting?

GETTING THE BEST RESULTS:

• Minimize opening and closing the oven door during operation.

• Use the rack position recommended by the recipe and fine-tune with personal experience.

• Use the bakeware recommended in the recipe.

• Store the broiler pan(s) outside the oven. An extra pan without food will impact browning and cooking.

• For tender, golden brown crusts, use light non-stick/anodized or shiny metal pans.

• For brown crisp crusts, use dark non-stick/anodized or dark, dull metal pans or glass bakeware. These may require lowering the bake temperature 25°F (14°℃).

• Allow at least 1″ (25.4 mm) of space between the pans and the oven walls so heat can circulate around each pan.

• To keep the oven as clean as possible, cook meat on a pan and not directly on the racks.

• Cooking will continue with residual heat. remove the dish from the oven immediately to avoid overcooking.

What does the oven temperature gauge indicate?

OVEN TEMPERATURE GAUGE: The oven temperature gauge measures the temperature in the oven cavity, and provides an useful indication of when the cavity is adequately pre-heated and actual baking or roasting may start. The temperature ranges on the dial are:

• BAKE 300-400°F

• ROAST 425-500°F

It is normal that you may see fluctuations in the needle as the oven cycles.

How do I fit the telescopic glides?

FITTING THE GLIDES: The telescopic glides fit any shelf level and work with the wire shelves provided as standard equipment.

What should I avoid when cleaning the range?

THINGS TO AVOID: Make sure the heating elements are turned off and allowed to cool completely before any cleaning and/or maintenance operation.

• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the range: the steam could reach electrical components and cause a short.

• Do not spray liquids such as cleaning agents into the openings on the bottom and top of the oven cavity.

• All surfaces can discolor or be damaged if unsuitable cleaning agents are used. The front of the oven, in particular, will be damaged by oven cleaners and descalers. All surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Scratches on glass surfaces may cause a breakage. Immediately remove any residues by using suitable cleaning products.

• The heating elements in the oven do not require cleaning. The elements burn off any residue when the oven is in use.


How should I clean stainless steel surfaces?

CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL: All stainless steel parts should be wiped with hot water and soap solution at the end of each cycle. Wipe up spills and boilovers immediately. Use suitable, non-abrasive stainless cleaning products when water and soap solution will not do the job. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. If necessary, scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to soften the residue, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel.

How should I clean painted surfaces?

CLEANING PAINTED SURFACES: Clean with a soft cloth, warm water and non-abrasive dishwashing liquid. Whilst still damp, polish dry with a clean soft cloth.

How should I clean glass surfaces?

CLEANING GLASS SURFACES: Clean with cleaning detergent and warm water. Glass cleaner can be used to remove fingerprints. If using glass cleaner containing ammonia, make sure that it does not drip on exterior door surface.

How do I clean the induction cooktop?

CLEANING THE INDUCTION COOKTOP: Allow the glass to cool down until the residual heat indicator is off before cleaning. Never use scouring powders or paste, metal scourers, oven cleaners or any abrasive cleaning products on the hotplate. Clean spillovers before using the cooktop again. For light cleaning, wipe with a soft cloth, warm water and dishwashing liquid. For a streak free finish, polish dry with a microfiber cloth. For more stubborn marks and to condition the surface, use a good quality cooktop cleaner/conditioner, following the manufacturer’s instructions. For spillages with high sugar content such as jam, or the accidental melting of plastic or alloy materials, turn off the heating zone and remove the spillage immediately. Use caution because the heating area may be very hot.

How should I clean the broiler pan?

CLEANING THE BROILER PAN: Clean with detergent and hot water. For stubborn spots, use a soap-filled steel wool pad. The porcelain enamel finish is acid resistant, but not acid proof. Acidic foods, such as citrus juices, tomatoes, rhubarb, vinegar, alcohol or milk, should be wiped up and not allowed to bake onto the porcelain during the next use.

How should I clean the oven cavity?

CLEANING THE OVEN CAVITY:

• Always allow the oven interior to cool before cleaning.

• Do not allow vinegar, wine, coffee, milk, salt water or fruit juices to remain in contact with enamelled surfaces for prolonged periods as they may stain or discolor the surface.

• Never use sharp utensils to remove stains as this could scratch the surface.

• Never use steam cleaners on the oven interiors as steam may damage electronic parts.

• For light cleaning, wipe with a soft cloth, using warm water and washing up liquid. For heavier residues, use a cream cleaner and a nylon scourer.

• Oven cleaning products can be used according to the manufacturer’s directions but care should be taken that they do not come in contact with any stainless steel, chrome, painted or alloy parts of the range or the door seals and elements.


How should I clean oven racks and supports?

CLEANING OVEN RACKS AND SUPPORTS: Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured with a soap-filled steel wool pad.

What routine maintenance can the owner perform?

SIMPLE MAINTENANCE: Keeping appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors or liquids. Not obstructing the flow of combustion and ventilation air. These simple tasks can be performed by the owner. For any other maintenance task, we recommend employing a trained service technician.

How do I replace the oven lights?

REPLACING OVEN LIGHTS: WARNING Electric shock hazard! Disconnect the electric power at the main fuse or circuit breaker before replacing bulb. DO NOT touch bulb with bare hands. Clean off any signs of oil from the bulb and handle with a soft cloth. (Specific instructions follow).

The oven will not operate. What should I check?

THE OVEN WILL NOT OPERATE: Is there power to the range? Are the igniters or burner holes blocked? Check the switch fuse or circuit breaker.

The control knobs are getting too hot. Why?

THE CONTROL KNOBS ARE GETTING TOO HOT: Are you cooking with the oven door open? Keep the oven door shut when not in use or when grilling/broiling.

A control knob is loose on its shaft. What happened?

A CONTROL KNOB IS LOOSE ON ITS SHAFT: The knob retaining spring clip may have been damaged. Call our service department for advice and a replacement if necessary.

Food is cooking too quickly. What might be the cause?

FOOD IS COOKING TOO QUICKLY: Are you using a convection mode? When using a fan-assisted oven cooking mode, it is recommended to reduce the cooking temperature by 70°F (20°C) compared to conventional cooking.

Food is not cooking evenly. What can I do?

FOOD IS NOT COOKING EVENLY: Are you cooking large amount of food or are you using large bakeware? Air needs to circulate through the oven for even cooking. Remove the grill pan from the oven when not in use and always allow a gap on all four sides of dishes. You may need to turn your bakeware during the cooking cycle. Oversized baking sheets, roasting pans and cakeware will act as a baffle and prevent hot air from moving evenly around the cavity. Choose cooking equipment that allows a minimum of 1 inch (2.5 cm) space on all sides to allow the free movement of heat inside the cavity.

Grilling in the oven is slow. What should I check?

GRILLING IN THE OVEN IS SLOW: Have you selected the correct function?

Condensation forms in the oven. How can I reduce it?

CONDENSATION FORMS IN THE OVEN: Have you pre-heated the oven? Condensation is less likely to form when the oven or grill is pre-heated before use.

Smoke is generated in the oven. What are possible causes and solutions?

SMOKE IS GENERATED IN THE OVEN: Have you selected the right cooking temperature? Are you cooking food with high fat? Do you rarely use the grill? Have you cooked fat under the grill? Does the oven interior need to be cleaned? Remember to reduce the oven temperature by 70°F (20°℃) if using a fan function with a recipe designed for conventional cooking. Use high-sided dishes to contain fats and splashes. Leave the grill on for a few minutes after grilling or roasting to burn off fat deposits from the oven roof. Oven surfaces should be cleaned regularly to prevent build-up of cooking residues.
