USING THE HOTPLATES Of yOUR
ELECTRIC COOKER
Check the hotplates on your cooker against the diagrams
below before you use your cooker for the first time.
RAdIANT HOTPLATES
• The high-speed radiant hotplates heat rapidly from a cold
start. This saves power.
fRONT CONTROL MOdELS
• The hotplates have a tray underneath the hob which
collects spilt liquids. The radiant elements can swivel and
the trim rings can be removed for cleaning of this tray.
REAR CONTROL MOdELS
• The hotplates have a tray under the hob which collects
spilt liquids. This tray can be removed by sliding it out
through the open grill door.
• The radiant elements also swivel for easy cleaning.
SOLId HOTPLATES
• The strong solid-cast hotplates give wide contact for
fast, efficient cooking.
• The hotplates are sealed all around which means that
spilt liquids do not go under the hotplates.
• The 2000W and 1500W hotplates include a red dot
in the centre to indicate the hotplate temperature, the
red dot changes colour when the hotplate is heated.
bEfORE fIRST USE
• The top surface of the hotplates are sealed with a
heat resistant coating. Before using for the first time the
hotplates should be heated for a short period without a
pan to harden the protective coating.
• Turn the heat setting to high for approx 3 minutes to fully
harden the coating. When the hotplates have cooled
apply a thin coating of cooking oil to the hotplate to
seal and protect the surface.
CERAMIC HOTPLATES
•
Do not use the cooktop if the glass is cracked.
• The ceramic cooktop is made from ceramic glass,
a tough, durable material that withstands heating
and cooling without breaking. 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.
• The smooth glass surface has a pattern to show
where the elements under the glass are located.
• When a hotplate is on, the hot surface warning light,
will come on. After switching off, this light will continue
to glow until the temperature of the hotplate drops
below 60°C.
