14 Using your cooktop
First use
Before using the cooktop for the first time, you need to remove any protective coating that may
still be on the hotplates. After you’ve removed the protective coating, boil a saucepan of water
on each plate for about 10 minutes. There will be a distinctive smell and some light smoke visible
while this is happening. This is normal, but make sure your kitchen is well ventilated during this
process. The smell and smoke will disappear when the process is complete.
Using your cooktop
1 Make sure that all the temperature control knobs are turned to O ( off).
2 Switch on the electricity.
3 Select the hotplate you require. The rapid hotplates (with a red dot in the middle) heat up 30%
faster than the regular hotplates. The red dots do not change colour with heat.
4 Turn the temperature control knob to the setting you require. Note that the knobs have six
distinct heat settings (see Figs. 13). Do not try to leave the knobs in intermediate positions.

Using your cooktop
Fig. 15 Suitable and unsuitable uses of the pans and hotplate
Cookware and cooking tips
Use pans with thick flat bases, as they are the most effective. It is worth buying good quality
pans to get the best results from your cooktop.
Use a pan with a base that matches the diameter of the hotplate.
Ensure that the bottom of the pan you are using is dry.
Use pans with tight fitting lids to reduce cooking time and save energy.
To reduce the cooking time, set the hotplate to the maximum at the beginning and then reduce
it later.
The electric plate retains heat, so you can turn off the heat a short time before you finish
cooking.
Important!
Never turn on a hotplate without any saucepans on it. This is a hot surface hazard, and could
heat up the control panel and the adjacent benchtop.
Never cook food directly on the hotplates. Always use a pan or suitable container.
Do not place any wet or steamed-up lids on an unused hotplate, as this will lead to rust.
Do not use decorative covers over the hotplates as these hold condensation which causes rust.
The covers could also become dangerously hot if a hotplate was accidentally turned on.
Never leave handles overhanging the benchtop or other hotplates.

16 Using your cooktop
The following tables contain guidelines to show recommended heat settings for cooking
different types of food with your cooktop.
Exact settings will depend on the type of pan and quantity of food being cooked.

Care and cleaning
General advice
Before you begin cleaning, you must ensure that the cooktop is switched off.
Allow the cooktop to cool down before cleaning.
Avoid leaving acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar etc.) on the surfaces.
Enamelled parts
Wash all of the enamelled parts only with a sponge or soft cloth, and soapy water or non-
abrasive cleaners.
Dry with a soft cloth.
If acidic substances such as lemon juice, tomato sauce, vinegar etc. are left in contact with the
enamel for a long time they will damage the surface.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel parts should be rinsed with water and dried with a soft and clean cloth.
For burnt-on or difficult spills, use specific stainless steel non-abrasive products available
commercially or a little hot vinegar.
Control knobs
The control knobs may be removed for cleaning.
Electric hotplates
Electric hotplates are made of cast iron and though durable, will rust if moisture is left on them
regularly.
Do not place wet lids from other pans onto an unused hotplate.
Always clean when the hotplate is tepid.
Use a soft cloth, dampened, or a specific commercial cleaner. To finish off, use a soft cloth with a
little oil.
Do not use water, to avoid the formation of rust.
Important!
Do not use steam cleaners because the moisture could get inside the appliance and make it dangerous.
