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.
