Ceramic Hotplates

warning

If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

• The ceramic cooktop is made from ceramic glass, a tough, durable material that withstands heating and cooling without breaking. However, it must be noted that as it is glass, it may break, and must therefore be treated with care. 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.

Electric oven fan forced baking

In a fan forced electric oven the heat comes from the rear oven element. Hot air is distributed by a fan behind the rear wall of the compartment, providing an even temperature on all shelf levels. This means, batches of food can be baked using multiple shelf positions simultaneously.

Radiant hotplates

The high-speed radiant hotplates heat rapidly from a cold start. This saves power.

Radiant elements swivel up for easy cleaning.

Solid hotplates

If present, the red dot in the centre of hotplate changes colour when heated.

When necessary to keep element looking good, apply coating of ‘hot plate protection’ onto solid hot plates.

Fan forced operation can be used for single food baking with equal success.

Fan Forced baking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional baking. Most recipe books, unless stated, are typically for conventional oven temperatures. It is recommended that when using the fan forced mode, reduce the oven temperature by 10 degrees (refer to ‘Oven Guide’).

For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes.

Using the Grill

• Separate Grill: Grill with door open.

Grill dish must be fully inserted.
