Do not boil food too rapidly. A strong boil will not cook food any faster, and will waste energy.
UTENSILS
All normally available utensils; aluminium, stainless steel, cast iron, ceramic, etc., may be used on your new
gas or electric element model cooktop. Ensure that the utensils are steady and have flat bases to avoid
dangerous spill-over of hot liquids and wasted energy. Do not use hollow based or oversized utensils i.e.
utensils which have a greater diameter base than the hotplate (Fig. 3). Woks should only be used on the
wok burner and the wok support trivet.

ENAMEL
Persistent stains may require vigorous rubbing with nylon scourer or creamed powder cleansers. Household
enamel cleaners are available, follow the manufacturer's instructions in their use. Harsh abrasive cleaners,
powder cleaners, steam cleaners, steel wool or wax polishes should not be used.
STAINLESS STEEL
All grades of stainless steel may stain, discolour or attain an adhering layer of grime in normal operation. To
achieve maximum surface appearance, stainless steel must be kept clean by regularly using the following
cleaning procedures, thus ensuring good performance and long service life. Wash with warm soapy water
and rinse with clean water. For an enhanced appearance wipe the surface with light oil (eg. sewing
machine), then wipe the surface dry with a soft, clean, lintless cloth, being sure to follow the polish or
brushing lines.
Where the stainless steel has become extremely dirty with signs of surface discolouration, (due to periods of
neglect or misuse) use a stainless steel cleaner. When removing these stains be sure to follow the polish or
brushing lines.
BURNER-CAPS AND CROWNS
These can all be lifted off and removed for separate cleaning. Ensure burner caps and crowns are
thoroughly dried after cleaning or spillage.
When cleaning the burner crowns, ensure that all the flame ports and other holes are free of any blockage.
If necessary, use a matchstick or brush to clear ports.
NOTE: When refitting the burner caps and crowns, ensure that they are correctly seated.
