The surface hot indicator lights are marked on the ceramic glass. The indicator lights will glow when the glass above an element is hot. They will continue to glow after the element has been turned off until the glass has cooled to a temperature that is safe to touch.

Dual element control

The left front element can be adjusted from inner element, to full element.

1To heat the entire element, push and turn control anticlockwise to Hi.

2 To heat inner part only, push and turn control clockwise to Hi.

Utensils

To get the best use out of your cooktop, you may need to look at the following points when selecting utensils

1The bottom of your cookware should match the size of the cooking area. The saucepan bottom should be at the most 5 mm smaller to 10 mm larger than the heated surface.

2The saucepan base must be flat and of sufficient thickness to give good contact and even temperature distribution.

3Cookware should be smooth with no jagged edges as these will scratch your cooktop.

4Aluminium and copper cookware can cause a metallic residue to remain on the cooktop. This should be removed immediately after each use with ceramic cooktop cleaner and polish. If it is left it will no longer be removable from the ceramic cooktop.

5Saucepan bases should always be dry as prolonged use of wet-bottomed saucepans will cause staining to the cooktop.
