Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Begin by ensuring the hob is installed according to the manufacturer's instructions and local electrical codes. Download the SmartHQ app from your smartphone's app store and follow the on-screen prompts for initial setup, which includes connecting the hob to your home Wi-Fi network. The app will guide you through understanding the controls and features.
Compatibility: This induction hob requires cookware with a magnetic base (e.g., cast iron, stainless steel). Test cookware by seeing if a magnet adheres to the bottom. Ensure your cooker hood is compatible with Fisher & Paykel's Link Mode for automatic synchronization.
Care: After each use, allow the hob to cool completely. Clean the ceramic glass surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the surface. Wipe the controls gently. Spills should be wiped up promptly to prevent them from baking on, though induction's nature minimizes this.
