Switch the appliance off and the power supply.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or electrical shock.

WARNING!

Hot Surface Hazard

During use accessible parts of this appliance will become hot enough to

cause burns.

Avoid body or clothing contact with the ceramic glass until it is cool.

General safety precautions

Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children.

Children or persons with a disability that may limit their ability to use the appliance, should

have a competent person instruct them in its use. This person should be satisfied that they

can then use the appliance without danger to themselves or their surroundings.

Where this appliance is installed in marine craft or in caravans, it shall not be used as a

space heater.

If the electrical supply cord is damaged it must only be replaced by an authorised person.

This appliance should be connected to a circuit which incorporates an isolating switch providing

full disconnection from the power supply.

Do not use a steam cleaner.

Important!

Some heavy-duty scourers can scratch the ceramic glass of your cooktop.

First use

Your cooktop/hob has individual elements below a ceramic glass surface. The diameters of the

cooking area are clearly marked. The elements become red when turned on full. An indicator

light will glow whenever and element is turned on.

Controls - conventional models

As the control knob is turned clockwise, the heat

output is increased. Turn the control knob to

the High setting to begin cooking and adjust as

necessary.

The elements are contolled by variable energy

regulators giving infinite control. At the low

setting delicate warming, melting chocolate and

keeping milk warm at a very low temperature may

be carried out. The High setting can be used for

boiling or frying. Once your pan is hot, reduce the

temperature to maintain a steady heat and cook

food through.

Different types of pots and pans used, like heavy based saucepans, will vary in cooking efficiency.

Cooking results are influenced by pot quality and size. It is essential that pot size matches the

diameter of the cooking zone. Use flat bottom pots and pans of good quality. Low heat or slow

cooking is often due to incorrect pot size. See ‘Cookware’ for more information.

Dual element control

Select the full element by turning the knob anti-

clockwise to High. To heat the inner element only,

turn clockwise to High.

Controls - touch control models

Your cooktop has temperature settings ranging from 1-9, the lowest setting being 1 and the

highest setting 9.

The low settings (from 1-5), offer a subtle and broad range of simmer settings (refer to the

‘Temperature Setting Guide’). Setting 1 is ideal for melting chocolate and keeping milk warm at

a very low temperature and setting 5 is great for rapidly simmering small amounts of food.

Touch controls

Your cooktop has four individual elements below a ceramic glass surface.

Each element is operated by using the touch controls. When using touch controls it is best to

use the ball of your finger rather than the tip as shown below.

A red light beside the element button indicates which element is selected.

The left front element is designed for dual element control, using either the inner or full element

(see Dual element control).

Your cooktop will beep once when the touch controls are selected.

To turn your cooktop on, touch the

button with the ball of your finger for

approximately 3 seconds.

You will notice all the element indicator

displays will come on with and a small

flashing red light.

Using the elements

With the cooktop turned on, touch the corresponding element button in the touch controls for

the element you wish to cook on.

The red light will stop flashing and remain static, beside the element that is selected. (If no

element is selected within 5-10 seconds the cooktop will automatically turn off ).

Select the element temperature setting, using the arrows as required. The element is now ready

to cook on

Note: The ‘Cooking Suggestions’ in the ‘Temperature Setting Guide’ will vary due to the

types of pots you use and the quantities you need to cook. You will need to experiment with the

temperature settings to match the desired cooking results you want.

Different types of cooking utensils, like heavy based saucepans, will vary in cooking efficiency.

.Turning an element off

Select the element you wish to turn off.

Check the red light is beside the corresponding element button. If the red light is not on, touch

the corresponding element button once

Using the arrow button, touch both of the up and down arrows together. Or, using the arrow

button, scroll the element temperature setting down to .

To turn all of the elements off at once, touch the button.

Temperature limiters

Temperature limiters are fitted to the element to prevent the glass from overheating. You will

notice the limiters turn the elements on and off during cooking, on low temperature settings

this occurs more often than on higher temperature settings.

Surface hot indicator light

The Surface Hot Indicator Light is shown on the ceramic glass as . The light will glow whenever

an element is hot. After an element has been turned off, the Surface Hot Indicator Light will

continue to glow until the element surface temperature is cool to touch.

Automatic timeout safety feature

If you forget to turn an element off, the element will automatically turn off after a number of

hours. If the element is left unattended on a high temperature setting, the automatic timeout

function will occur sooner than if the element is left unattended at a lower temperature. This

timeout function ranges from 1.5 hours on setting 9, to 6 hours on setting 1.

Keylock

To lock the controls for cleaning or to prevent children from playing, touch the button, then

touch the button. A light will go on beside the keylock button. All the controls are now

locked (except for the button). If the cooktop is turned off, the keylock light will go out,

even though the controls are still locked.

To release the keylock, make sure the cooktop is turned on and touch the button again.

Heating tip

When you need to boil, simmer or fry your food, first set the temperature to 9 (maximum) and

then once boiling or your pan is hot, reduce the temperature setting to maintain a steady heat

to cook your food through. This will reduce the time it takes to cook. Your cooktop can be set to

do this automatically with the ‘Auto Heat-Reduce’ function.

Temperature Setting

Dual element control

The left front element is designed for dual element control, using either the inner or full element.

With the cooktop turned on, touch the

button in the touch controls. The red light

will stop flashing and remain static.

Select the element temperature setting,

using the arrows as required. Only the inner

element will come on. (Remember the

cooktop regulates the element temperature,

and you may notice the element turn off and

back on again).

To select the full element, touch the button. Note: You cannot select the full element until

you have set the temperature.

A red light will show beside the button, when the full element is selected. You can modify

the full element temperature with the arrows.

To return to the inner element only, touch the button again. The dual setting is cleared

when the cooktop is turned off.

Auto heat-reduce

Your cooktop has an effort saving function, to quickly bring your element to the maximum

temperature setting (9), then automatically reduce the element temperature setting to maintain

a lower heat to cook your food at. This limits the risks of spill overs and burning.

Ideal for boiling water for pasta and then automatically lowering the heat and maintaining a

rapid simmer until al dente.

To set the function, turn the element on by touching the corresponding element button.

Using the arrows scroll past 9 to display . When is showing, use the arrows again to select

the temperature setting you would like the element to reduce to.

The temperature settings of 1-9 you set the element to reduce to, correspond with the same

temperature settings for standard element use, 1 being low and 9 being high. Every temperature

setting between 1 and 9 has a different fixed time. (Refer to the ‘Auto Heat-Reduce Guide’).

Eg. Auto Heat Reduce 6 setting, will heat and maintain the element to the maximum

temperature (9), for 2.5 minutes. After the time has elapsed, the element will reduce to the lower

temperature setting of 6 and maintain this until the element or cooktop is turned off. Please

note, the maximum temperature (9) never reduces.

While this function is activated the element indicator will flash between and the reduced

temperature setting, until the fixed time elapses, and the reduced temperature setting is reached.
