Using the ceramic glass cooktop
21
The ceramic cooktop is made from glass ceramic, a tough material that is not affected by changes in temperature. If cared for, it will continue to function well and look attractive for many years.
Temperature limiters are fitted to the elements to prevent the glass from overheating. The limiters may turn the elements on and off during cooking.
Aluminium and copper cookware can leave a metallic residue on the glass surface. Clean this off with ceramic glass cleaner after every use. If it is left, it becomes difficult to remove. See section ‘Care and cleaning’.
To start cooking
Turn the knob of the cooking zone you wish to use to HI, then adjust as necessary.
When using the dual cooking zone, you may choose to use the inner zone only (
) or the full dual cooking zone (
).
‘On’ indicators
These will glow when the corresponding cooking zone is on.
‘Hot surface’ indicators
These will continue to glow even after you have turned the corresponding cooking zone(s) off, until the glass becomes cool enough to be safely touched.
When you have finished cooking
When you have finished using a cooking zone, turn its knob to the o (OFF) position. The corresponding ‘On’ indicator will go out.
When you have finished using your cooktop, check that all ‘On’ indicators are unlit.
