Introduction  
Introducing your cooktop  
Congratulations on your new purchase. Your Fisher & Paykel induction cooktop is the ultimate in  
induction cooking, giving you the speed, precision, and simplicity of electronic control, and the  
easy-care elegance of a ceramic glass surface. For more information, visit our local website listed  
on the back cover.  
A word on 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.  
This technology has a number of advantages over traditional radiant energy cooking:  
Heat-up times are much faster.  
Use is safer as no heating takes place unless a suitable pan is placed on the cooking zone.  
As heat is transferred without loss, you save energy.  
Before using your new cooktop  
Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety and warnings’ section.  
Remove any protective film that may still be on your cooktop.  
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 there is no object (eg a utensil or a cloth)  
covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate.

Choosing the right cookware  
Important!  
Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking.  
Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or 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:  
1
2
3
Put some water in the pan you want to check.  
Follow the steps under ‘To start cooking’ opposite.  
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, earthenware.  
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. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.  
Always lift pans off the cooktop– do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.

Cooking guidelines  
Important!  
Take care when frying: oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using PowerBoost. At  
extremely high termperatures 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.  
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, cooking rice  
Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 85 OC, 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
2
3
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.  
4
5
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  
1
2
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.  
3
4
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
7
Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.  
Serve immediately.
