GETTING TO KNOW YOUR COOKTOP

Ceramic hotplates (WFE946SC)

The cooktop is made from ceramic glass, a tough, 

durable material that withstands heating and cooling 

without breaking. It is strong enough to hold the 

heaviest utensils.

However, it must be remembered that as it is GLASS,  

it may break. Treat it accordingly!

Should you have any questions about the glass in your 

new appliance, please contact the service centre by 

dialling 13 13 49.

WARNING

WARNING

If the ceramic glass is cracked, switch off the appliance 

to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

The heating elements are concealed under the smooth 

glass surface which has a pattern to show the location of 

the elements.

•  Use pans with smooth, clean and dry bottoms to 

avoid scratching or burning residue into the glass.

•  Ensure the pan bottom is the same size as the 

working element.

•  We do not recommend ceramic glass pans because 

they do not conduct heat well.

•  Stainless steel or enamelled saucepans are best.

•  Do not use pans with copper or aluminium bottoms 

because they can leave traces which are difficult to 

remove from the glass.

•  If buying new utensils select enamelled steel pans 

with 2-3mm thick bottoms or stainless steel pans with 

sandwich bottoms 4-6mm thick. The pan bottom 

should be flat, or preferably, slightly concave at room 

temperature so that it lies flat on the glass surface 

when hot.

A flat or slightly concave 

pan is preferable for 

ceramic hotplates

ENVIRONMENTAL TIPS

 ENVIRONMENT

The bottom of pans and cooking zones should be the 

same size
