WARNING
WARNING
Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be
dangerous and may result in a fire.
•
In order to avoid a fire, the appliance must be kept
clean and vents kept unobstructed.
•
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of the appliance
when it is operated.
•
Do not store flammable materials in or under the
appliance, e.g. Aerosols.
•
Do not allow pots to boil dry, as damage to both pan
and cooktop may result.
•
Do not operate the cooktop for an extended period
of time without a utensil on the hotplate.
•
Do not allow large cookware to overhang the cooktop
onto the adjacent benchtop. This will cause scorching
to the benchtop surface.
•
An authorized person must install this appliance.
(Certificate of Compliance to be retained)
•
Before using the appliance, ensure that all packing
materials are removed from the appliance.
•
In order to avoid any potential hazard, the enclosed
installation instructions must be followed.
•
Where the appliance is built into a cabinet, the
cabinet material must be capable of withstanding
85 ˚C.
•
Only authorised personnel should carry out servicing.
{Certificate of Compliance to be retained)
•
Always ensure the appliance is switched off and cool
before cleaning or replacing parts.
•
Do not use steam cleaners, as this may cause
moisture build up.
•
Always clean the appliance immediately after any
food spillage.
•
To maintain safe operation, it is recommended that
the product be inspected every five years by an
authorized service person.
•
The fixed wiring insulation must be protected, for
example, by insulating sleeving having an appropriate
temperature rating.
•
This appliance must be earthed.
Hotplates
•
Coated solid hotplates are strong, and give a good
contact with flat bottom pots and pans for fast
efficient cooking.
•
The hotplates are sealed all round with stainless
steel trim rings, food spills can’t penetrate to make
cleaning easier.
•
It is normal for stainless steel trim rings to discolour
with use overtime.
•
The hotplates include a red dot in the centre to
indicate the hotplate temperature, once the hotplate
is heated the red dot turns to black.
Utensils
• Use pans with flat bottoms. Uneven or thin bottoms
will increase cooking time especially when boiling.
•
Not suitable for curved base wok or pan.
•
Use pans slightly larger than the hotplates. Smaller
pans will waste energy.
•
Do not use oversize pans. More than 50mm overhang
can overheat cooktop components and cause fine
cracks in the enamel hob which will trap dirt. This
may also discolour stainless steel hobs.
• Do not place wet pots or pans on the hotplates.
•
Do not use pots and pans that are unsteady and likely
to rock or over balance.
•
Do not operate the cooktop for an extended time
without a pot or pan on the hotplate, it will cause
damage to the cooktop.
Cooking Do’s and Don’ts
• Do use the stored heat in the hotplate by turning the
control to ‘0’ before the final few minutes of cooking.
•
Do not place heat resistant mats, wire mats or
aluminum foil under pots and pans.
• Do not allow pots and pans to boil dry, as damage to
both pan and hotplate may result.
• Do not use round bottom woks, wok stands or similar
curved base pans, as it can lead to overheating of
the cooktop causing damage to the appliance, and
reflected heat from overhanging woks can cause
scorching and possible fire risk for the surrounding
bench surface.
•
Do not use the cooktop as extra bench space or as
a cutting board.
•
Do not allow children on or near the cooktop at
any time.
