9. Pilot lamp - This light will glow red when any element is energised.
10. Residual Heat Lamps - Each element has a residual heat indicator lamp. This
lamp will glow red as the element is energised and will remain on after the
element has been turned off. The residual heat lamp will extinguish once the
cooktop surface temperature has reduced to below 50oC.
WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH THE COOKTOP SURFACE UNTIL YOU ARE
CERTAIN THAT THE TEMPERATURE HAS REDUCED TO A SAFE LEVEL.

OPERATING THE COOKTOP
To operate the cooktop, rotate the knob to the desired heat setting. The following
chart indicates heat levels.
SETTINGS INTENSITY TYPE OF COOKING

COOKING UTENSILS
To achieve best results when using your new Scala Cooktop, it is important that your
saucepans are flat-based. You can check this by holding a ruler across the bottom of
the pan.
If a gap of more than 1mm appears between the ruler and the base of the saucepan
the pan is unsuitable for use. If it is either concave, or convex the pan will not make
adequate surface contact with the cooktop, resulting in slow, ineffective cooking.
When selecting a saucepan, use one which is the same size or slightly larger than the
element.

Suitability of Saucepans
For best advise regarding the selection of appropriate cookware, we
recommend that you contact your saucepan manufacturers or retail specialists.
Below is a general guide for your convenience:-
1. Stainless Steel - Very suitable.
2. Enamelled Steel - Very suitable. However it is important to note that a
minimum pot base metal thickness of between 2.5 - 3mm is necessary to
achieve best results.
3. Aluminium - Can be used but with caution. We advise you to contact your
saucepan manufacturer to check suitability. Aluminium is a relatively soft metal
and when making contact with the Ceran surface may leave a metal residue on
the glass surface. If this residue is not removed immediately with a suitable
cleaner, it may react with the glass and if used repeatedly may burn onto and
stain the surface.
4. Cast Iron - Can be used but with caution. With any heavy cookware the bases
should be checked to ensure a smooth surface to avoid scratching. Due to the
large volume weight of cast iron pots, the efficiency of such cookware is lower
than that of stainless or enamelled steel cookware.
5. Glass - Can be used with caution. Check that the base surface is completely
smooth to avoid scratching. Glass ceramic cookware is comparable in its
performance with cast iron due to its low heat conductivity in the cookware
base.
CARE OF THE CERAMIC SURFACE
REMEMBER: Do NOT slide your saucepans across the surface of your
cooktop. Permanent scratching may result.
LIFT THE SAUCEPANS DIRECTLY ON AND OFF. Damage to the perimeter
trim may also occur if this warning is disregarded.
To ensure a long life and ongoing attractiveness of your Scala Ceramic cooktop we
recommend that you use MICA Cooktop Cleaning Cream and the CERAquick Scraper
for cleaning your cooktop.

For best results, thoroughly clean the ceramic surface with Mica Cooktop Cleaning
Cream or other non-abrasive cooktop cleaner before initial use of the cooktop. This
pre-treatment conditions the surface, and if your clean your cooktop regularly, it will
continue to look like new.
Simply apply the cooktop cleaner to the glass surface with either a paper towel or a
clean, damp cloth. Then polish off.
Regular use of Mica Cream not only cleans, but also protects the surface against
future spillage stains.
Should you experience cooked-on crusty foods, use the Ceraquick scraper to lift the
stain from the surface. Hold the scraper at a 30o angle and gently remove. Then
polish off with Mica Cooktop Cleaner or other non-abrasive cooktop cleaner.
Ask your Kleenmaid Demonstrator for advice on recommended cleaning products.
Spillovers: Wipe up splashes and spills immediately, using a clean damp cloth or
damp paper towel. Take care not to burn yourself.
Warning: Ensure that the following substances be cleaned immediately from the
surface - DO NOT ALLOW TO COOL.
Sugar, Sugar Syrups and jam
Melted plastics and plastic wrap
Melted aluminium foil
These products may cause surface pitting if they are left to cool on the cooktop before
cleaning. Exercise caution when cleaning a hot cooktop to avoid burns.
Use the CERAquick Scraper to lift the stain from the hot surface before it becomes
burnt on. When cool, use the MICA Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner to restore the surface.
A little boiling water will help soften the spill if required.
Metallic Stains may be removed with Goddards Glow. Apply gently with a soft cloth.
Vigorous rubbing may cause fine scratches.

SAFETY WARNING:
Should you accidentally drop a heavy item on your cooktop causing it to break,
immediately switch off the electricity. DO NOT USE YOUR COOKTOP. Call
Kleenmaid Customer Services on 1-800-072-144 immediately to arrange a
service call.
