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.

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
flashing red light.
