Using your cooktop
Controls
Depending on your model, your cooktop has two or four individual elements below a ceramic glass surface.
In CT5602F and CT6551S models, one of the elements is a dual element; you may use either the full element or the inner element only. See ‘Dual element controls’ below.
The diameters of the cooking areas are clearly marked. The elements become red when turned on full.
The elements are fitted with temperature limiters to prevent the glass from overheating. You will notice that the limiters turn the elements on and off during cooking.
After an element is turned off, its ‘Surface Hot’ indicator light will glow until the glass becomes cool enough to be safely touched.
Single element controls
Turn the control knob of the element you wish to use to the High setting to begin cooking, and adjust as necessary.
For further advice on cooking, see ‘Cookware and cooking tips’ following.
