BUSH BLSINDH60 (01) PDF Document

Before using your New BUSH BLSINDH60 hob, you should:

Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.

Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction hob.

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.

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:

1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.

2. Follow the steps under ‘To start cooking’.

3. If the display does not flash and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.

Cookware made by the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminum or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.

The minimum cookware (diameter /mm) table for the BUSH BLSINDH60 is:

Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the same size as the cooking zone. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.

Always lift pans off the ceramic hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.

After power on, the buzzer beeps once, all the indicators light up for 1 second then go out, indicating that the hob has entered the state of standby mode.

1. Touch the ON/OFF switch. all the indicators show “- “.

2. Place a suitable pan on the cooking zone that you wish to use. Make sure the bottom of the pan and the surface of the cooking zone is clean and dry.

3. Touching the heating zone selection control, and an indicator next to the key will flash.

4. Select a heat setting by touching the “-” “+”control.

If you don’t choose a heat setting within 1 minute, the Induction hob will automatically switch off. You will need to start again at step 1.

You can modify the heat setting at any time during cooking.

1. Touching the heating zone selection that you wish to switch off.

2. Turn the cooking zone off by scrolling down to”0″. Make sure the display shows”0″.

3. Turn the whole cooktop off by touching the ON/OFF control.

The “H” will show which means cooking zone is too hot to touch. It will disappear when the surface has cooled down to a safe temperature. It can also be used as an energy saving function if you want to heat further pans, use the hotplate that is still hot.

To lock the controls:

1. Make sure the hob is turned on.

2. Touch and hold the keylock control for 3 seconds.

3. You can now start using your hob.

The timer indicator will show “Lo “.

When the hob is in lock mode, all the controls are disabled except the ON/OFF. You can always turn the hob off with the ON/OFF control in an emergency, but you shall unlock the hob first in the next operation.

When the hob has been operating for some time, there will be some residual heat. The letter “H” appears to warn you to keep away from it.

Safety feature of the hob is auto shut down. This occurs whenever you forget to switch off a cooking zone. The default shutdown times are shown in the table below:

Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using Boost. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.

When food comes to the boil, reduce the power 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 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 flourthickened 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.

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.

1. Choose a ceramic 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.

The Heat setting Suitability table for the BUSH BLSINDH60 is:

What: Everyday soiling on glass (fingerprints, marks, stains left by food or non-sugary spillovers on the glass)

How:

1. Switch the power to the cooktop off.

2. Apply a cooktop cleaner while the glass is still warm (but not hot!)

3. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.

4. Switch the power to the cooktop back on.

Important!

When the power to the cooktop is switched off, there will be no ‘hot surface’ indication but the cooking zone may still be hot! Take extreme care.

Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon scourers and harsh/abrasive cleaning agents may scratch the glass. Always read the label to check if your cleaner or scourer is suitable.

Never leave cleaning residue on the cooktop: the glass may become stained.

What: Boilovers, melts, and hot sugary spills on the glass

How: Remove these immediately with a fish slice, palette knife or razor blade scraper suitable for ceramic glass cooktops, but beware of hot cooking zone surfaces:

1. Switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall.

2. Hold the blade or utensil at a 30° angle and scrape the soiling or spill to a cool area of the cooktop.

3. Clean the soiling or spill up with a dish cloth or paper towel.

4. Follow steps 2 to 4 for ‘Everyday soiling on glass’ above.

Important!

Remove stains left by melts and sugary food or spillovers as soon as possible. If left to cool on the glass, they may be difficult to remove or even permanently damage the glass surface.

Cut hazard: when the safety cover is retracted, the blade in a scraper is razor-sharp. Use with extreme care and always store safely and out of reach of children.

What: Spillovers on the touch controls

How:

1. Switch the power to the cooktop off.
