OPERATION AND CLEANING
Before First Use
• Do not use the cook top if the glass is cracked.
• The ceramic cook top is made from ceramic glass, a tough, durable material that withstands
heating and cooling without breaking. However, it must be remembered that as it is glass, it
may break.
• The smooth glass surface has a pattern to show where the elements under the glass are
located.
• When a hotplate is on, the hot surface warning light will come on. After switching off, this light
will continue to glow until the temperature of the hotplate drops below 60°C
Cleaning the Enamel
• Keep enamel clean by wiping it with a soft cloth dipped in warm soapy water.
• Rub difficult stains with a nylon scourer or creamed powder cleanser.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, dry powder cleaners, steel wool or wax polishes.
• If you use an oven cleaner, then follow the instructions on the product carefully.
Cleaning the Control Panel
• Make sure control knobs are in off position.
• Clean the control panel by wiping it with a soft cloth dipped in warm soapy water and
squeezed dry.
Cleaning the Electric Cook top
• Remove all spilt food with the razor blade scraper supplied
while the hotplate is still warm – NOT HOT.
• If aluminium foil, plastic items or foods with a high sugar
content melt onto glass, use the razor blade scraper
to remove immediately before the hotplate has cooled,
otherwise pitting of the surface may occur. High sugar
content foods include jam, fruit, carrots, tomatoes and peas.
• When the ceramic hotplate has cooled, wipe clean with
dishwashing detergent on a damp cloth.
Note: Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers, oven sprays or stain removers on
ceramic hotplates. These may damage, scratch or stain the ceramic cooktop. Any
pitting, staining or scratching will not be covered by warranty.
