Fig.16 Ceramic cooktop
Your cooktop has four individual elements, one of which is a dual circuit element. The diameters of the cooking area are clearly marked.
The elements become red when turned on full. Corresponding hot surface indicator lights glow on the control area.
Temperature limiters are fitted to the elements to prevent the glass from overheating. The limiters will turn the elements on and off during cooking to maintain the temperature that has been set.
Controls
The controls on the underbench oven are ‘push and turn’ as a safety feature to deter children from turning the cooktop on.
