Using the cooktop
Ceramic glass cooktop
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.

Elements
Your cooktop has four individual elements, one of which is a dual circuit element. The diameters of the cooking areas are clearly marked.
The elements become red when turned on full and the corresponding indicator lights glow on the control area.
Temperature limiters are fitted to the element 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 cooktop. Clean this off with ceramic glass cleaner after every use. If it is left, it becomes difficult to remove.
Hot surface indicator lights
The hot surface indicator lights are marked on the ceramic glass.
The indicator lights will glow when the element is above a safe touch temperature. After the element has been turned off, the indicator lights will continue to glow until the element surface has cooled down to a surface temperature that is safe to touch.
Dual element control
To heat the entire element, turn the control knob anticlockwise.
To heat the inner part only, turn the control knob clockwise.
Radiant cooktop
These tubular elements are designed to lift and rotate, allowing easy access to the element bowls for cleaning. Replacement bowl liners are available from the retailer you purchased your cooker from.
Control
Turn the control knob to High to begin cooking and adjust as necessary.
