• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

• Warning: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

• Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the hob surface since they can get hot.

• A steam cleaner is not to be used.

• WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking surfaces.

• The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking process has to be supervised continuously.

• WARNING: Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in fire. NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off the appliance and then cover flame e.g. with a lid or a fire blanket.

• Never leave the appliance unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

• Never use your appliance as a work or storage surface.

• Do not place or leave any magnetisable objects (e.g. credit cards, memory cards) or electronic devices (e.g. computers, MP3 players) near the appliance, as they may be affected by its electromagnetic field.

• After use, always turn off the cooking zones and the cooktop as described in the manual (i.e. by using the touch controls). Do not rely on the pan detection feature to turn off the cooking zones when you remove the pans.

• Do not allow children to play with the appliance or sit, stand, or climb on it.

• Do not use pans with jagged edges or drag pans across the Induction glass surface as this can scratch the glass.

• Do not use scourers or any other harsh abrasive cleaning agents to clean your cooktop, as these can scratch the Induction glass.

Do not cook on a broken or cracked cooktop. If the MIDEA MI60T cooktop surface should break or crack, switch the appliance off immediately at the mains power supply (wall switch) and contact a qualified technician. Failure to follow this advice may result in electrical shock or death.

The MIDEA MI60T appliance complies with electromagnetic safety standards. However, persons with cardiac pacemakers or other electrical implants (such as insulin pumps) must consult with their doctor or implant manufacturer before using this appliance to make sure that their implants will not be affected by the electromagnetic field. Failure to follow this advice may result in death.

3. Max. 1200/1500 W zone

4. Max. 2300/2600 W zone

5. Glass plate

6. Control panel

The control panel of the MIDEA MI60T has the following functions:

1. Power regulating key

2. Timer regulating key

3. Keylock control

4. BOOST control

5. ON/OFF control

To operate the touch controls on your MIDEA MI60T effectively, please follow these tips:

• 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.

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 if your cookware is suitable by using 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. If the display does not flash 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.

Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base. Ensure the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the same size as the cooking zone. Pots less than 140 mm could be undetected by the hob. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.

Step 1. Touch the ON/OFF control for three seconds. After power on, the buzzer beeps once, and all displays show “-” or “- -“, indicating the induction hob has entered standby mode.

Step 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 are clean and dry.

Step 3. Select a heat setting by touching the “-” or “+” control. If you don’t choose a heat setting within 1 minute, the induction hob will automatically switch off. You can modify the heat setting at any time during cooking.

A flashing display on your MIDEA MI60T means one of the following:

• you have not placed a pan on the correct cooking zone, or

• the pan you’re using is not suitable for induction cooking, or

• the pan is too small or not properly centered on the cooking zone.

No heating will take place unless there is a suitable pan on the cooking zone. The display will automatically turn off after 1 minute if no suitable pan is placed on it.

To turn off a single cooking zone, scroll the heat setting down to “0” or touch the “-” and “+” controls for that zone together. Ensure the display shows “0”.

To turn the whole cooktop off, touch the ON/OFF control.

The ‘H’ symbol indicates which cooking zone is hot to touch. It is a hot surface warning that 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, you can use the hotplate that is still hot.

The Boost function provides maximum power to a cooking zone for a short period.

To Activate the Boost Function:

1. Select the heating zone by touching its “-” or “+” control.

2. Touch the boost control (B). The zone indicator will show “P.” and the power will reach maximum.

To Cancel the Boost Function:

• Touch the “Boost” control (B) or the “-” button for the zone. The cooking zone will revert to its original setting.

• Touching the “-” and “+” controls for the zone together will also switch off the zone and cancel the boost function automatically.

Important Notes:

• The function can work in any cooking zone.

• The cooking zone returns to its original setting after 5 minutes.

• If the original heat setting was 0, it will return to level 9 after 5 minutes.

You can lock the controls to prevent unintended use, such as children accidentally turning on the cooking zones.

• To lock the controls: Touch the lock control. The timer indicator will show “Lo”.

• To unlock the controls: Touch and hold the lock control for a while.

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

If you are not selecting any cooking zone, you can use the timer as a minute minder. The timer will not turn any cooking zone off when the set time is up.

1. Make sure the cooktop is turned on.

2. Touch the “+” control of the timer. The minder indicator will start flashing and “10” will show in the timer display.

3. Set the time by touching the “-” or “+” control of the timer. A single touch changes the time by 1 minute. Touching and holding changes it by 10 minutes.

4. Once the time is set, it will begin to count down immediately. The display will show the remaining time and the timer indicator will flash for 5 seconds.

5. When the time is finished, a buzzer will beep for 30 seconds and the timer indicator will show “- -“.

To cancel the timer, touch the “-” and “+” controls together. The display will show “00”.

You can set the timer to automatically switch off one or more cooking zones.

Setting one zone:

1. Select the desired cooking zone and set its power level.

2. Set the time by touching the timer’s “-” or “+” control. A single touch changes the time by 1 minute; touching and holding changes it by 10 minutes.

3. Once the time is set, it will begin to count down immediately. The display will show the remaining time, and a red dot next to the power level indicator will illuminate, indicating that the zone has a timer set.

4. When the cooking timer expires, the corresponding cooking zone will be switched off automatically.

Setting more than one zone:

The steps are similar to setting one zone. When you set the time for several cooking zones simultaneously, the decimal dots of the relevant cooking zones will be on. The minute display shows the minimum timer, and the dot of the corresponding zone flashes. When a timer expires, the corresponding zone will switch off. The display will then show the new minimum timer.

The MIDEA MI60T has an auto shut down safety function. If you forget to turn off your cooking, it will shut down automatically based on the power level. The default working times are shown below:

When a pot is removed, the induction hob stops heating immediately and automatically switches off after 2 minutes.

• 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.

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

To cook juicy flavorsome steaks on your MIDEA MI60T:

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 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.

The settings below are guidelines only. Experiment with the induction hob to find the settings that best suit you.

For everyday soiling on glass (fingerprints, marks, stains left by food or non-sugary spillovers):

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.

For boilovers, melts, and hot sugary spills on the glass:

Remove these immediately with a fish slice, palette knife or razor blade scraper suitable for induction 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 the steps for ‘Everyday soiling on glass’.

For spillovers on the touch controls:

1. Switch the power to the cooktop off.

2. Soak up the spill.

3. Wipe the touch control area with a clean damp sponge or cloth.

4. Wipe the area completely dry with a paper towel.

5. Switch the power to the cooktop back on.

Important:

• When the power 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.

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

• Remove stains left by melts and sugary food as soon as possible to avoid permanent damage to the glass surface.

If there is no power to your MIDEA MI60T, 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.

If the touch controls are unresponsive, they may be locked. Unlock the controls by following the instructions in the manual.

If the touch controls are difficult to operate, there may be a slight film of water over them, or you may be using the tip of your finger. Make sure the touch control area is dry and use the ball of your finger when touching the controls.

The glass may be scratched due to rough-edged cookware or the use of unsuitable, abrasive scourers or cleaning products. Use cookware with flat and smooth bases and refer to the ‘Care and Cleaning’ section for appropriate cleaning methods.

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 with the MIDEA MI60T.

Low humming noise 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: A cooling fan is built into your induction hob to prevent the electronics from overheating. It may continue to run even after you’ve turned the 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.

This can happen for two reasons:

1. The induction hob cannot detect the pan because it is not suitable for induction cooking. Use cookware suitable for induction cooking.

2. The induction hob cannot detect the pan because it is too small for the cooking zone or not properly centered on it. Centre the pan and make sure that its base matches the size of the cooking zone.

This indicates a technical fault. Please note down the error letters and numbers, switch the power to the induction hob off at the wall, and contact a qualified technician.

The MIDEA MI60T hob must be connected to the mains power supply only by a suitably qualified person. Before connecting, check that:

1. The domestic wiring system is suitable for the power drawn by the hob.

2. The voltage corresponds to the value given in the rating plate.

3. The power supply cable sections can withstand the load specified on the rating plate.

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.

• If the cable is damaged or to be replaced, the operation must be carried out by the 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 only.
