Duringuse,thisappliancebecomeshot.Careshouldbetakento avoidtouchinghotsurfaces.
Accessiblepartsmaybecomehotduringuse. Toavoidburnsyoungchildrenshouldbekeptaway.
Thisappliancemust notbeusedasaspaceheater.
Keepventsclearofobstructions.
Theapplianceisnotintendedtobeoperatedbymeansofanexternaltimeror
separateremote-controlsystem.
Inordertoavoidafire,theappliancemustbekeptcleanandventskeptunobstructed.
Donotsprayaerosolsinthevicinityofthe appliancewhenitisoperated.
Donotstoreflammablematerialsinorundertheappliance,e.g. Aerosols.
Donotallowpotstoboildry,asdamagetobothpanandcooktopmayresult.
Donotoperatethecooktopforanextendedperiodoftimewithoutautensilonthehotplate.
Donotallowlargecookwaretooverhangthecooktopontotheadjacentbenchtop. Thiswillcausescorchingto
thebenchtopsurface.
Anauthorizedpersonmustinstallthisappliance.(CertificateofCompliancetoberetained)
Beforeusingtheappliance,ensurethatallpackingmaterialsareremovedfromtheappliance.
Inordertoavoidanypotentialhazard,theenclosedinstallationinstructionsmustbefollowed.
Wheretheapplianceisbuiltintoacabinet,the cabinetmaterialmustbecapableofwithstanding85degC.
Onlyauthorisedpersonnelshouldcarryoutservicing.(CertificateofCompliance toberetained)
Alwaysensuretheapplianceisswitchedoffandcoolbeforecleaningorreplacingparts.
Donotusesteamcleaners,asthismaycausemoisturebuildup.
Alwayscleantheapplianceimmediatelyafteranyfoodspillage.
Tomaintainsafeoperation,itisrecommendedthattheproductbeinspectedeveryfiveyearsbyanauthorized
serviceperson.
Thefixedwiringinsulationmustbeprotected,forexample,byinsulatingsleevinghavinganappropriate
temperaturerating.
Coatedsolidhotplatesarestrong,andgiveagoodcontactwithflatbottompotsandpansforfastefficientcooking.
Thehotplatesaresealedallroundwithstainlesssteeltrimrings,foodspillscan’tpenetratetomakecleaningeasier.
Itisnormalforstainlesssteeltrimringstodiscolourwithuseovertime.
Thehotplatesincludeareddotinthecentretoindicatethehotplatetemperature,oncethehotplateisheatedthe
reddotturnstoblack.
Usepanswithflatbottoms.Unevenorthinbottomswillincreasecookingtimeespeciallywhenboiling.
Notsuitableforcurvedbasewokorpan.
Usepansslightlylargerthanthehotplates.Smallerpanswillwasteenergy.
Donotuseoversizepans.Morethan50mmoverhangcanoverheatcooktopcomponentsandcausefinecracksin
theenamelhobwhichwilltrapdirt. Thismayalsodiscolourstainlesssteelhobs.
Donotplacewetpotsorpansonthehotplates.
Donotusepotsandpansthatareunsteadyandlikelytorockoroverbalance.
Donotoperatethecooktopforanextendedtimewithoutapotorpanonthehotplate,
itwillcausedamagetothecooktop.
Dousethestoredheatinthehotplatebyturningthecontrol to “O” beforethefinalfewminutesofcooking.
Donotplaceheatresistantmats,wirematsoraluminumfoilunderpotsandpans.
Donotallowpotsandpans toboildry,asdamagetobothpanandhotplatemayresult.
Donotuseroundbottomwoks,wokstandsorsimilarcurvedbasepans,asitcanleadtooverheatingofthe
cooktopcausingdamagetotheappliance,andreflectedheatfromoverhangingwokscancausescorching
andpossiblefireriskforthesurroundingbenchsurface.
Donotusethecooktopasextrabenchspaceorasacuttingboard.
Donotallowchildrenonornearthecooktopcanytime.

Cleaningyourhotplates
STAINLESSSTEEL CLEANING
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.
Coated “easycare” solidhotplateshavearobust,corrosion resistantsurfacewhichistemperatureresistantupto
600 .
Cleanthehotplatesaftertheyhavecooledbywipingwithadampclothorsponge,useasmallamountof
detergentifnecessary.
Stubbornsoilingcanberemovedbysoakingthehotplateforafewminuteswithwarmwaterandalittle
detergent, followedbycleaningusingaplasticscourerorsoftbrush.
Anyspillsormarksthatstillremaincanbeburntoffbyoperatingthehotplateonhighwithoutapanfor2-3
minutes.Whenthehotplatehascooledcleanitnormallyasabove.
Aftercleaning,drythehotplatebywarmingonlowheatforapprox30secondsandthenoilthehotplatewitha
thincoatingofcookingoiltopreventrustorcorrosion.
Somediscolorationofthestainlesssteeltrimringisnormal duringuse. A stainlesssteelcleanermaybeusedtoclean
thetrimring.
Thereisariskofburnsifthehotplatesarehot.Ensurethehotplateshavecooledbeforecleaning.
Donotallowliquidstoenterthecontrolknobareawhilecleaning.
Allgradesandfinishesofstainlesssteelmaystain,discolourorbecomegreasyinnormaloperation. Toachieve
maximumsurfaceappearance,stainlesssteelmustbekeptcleanbyregularlyusingthefollowingcleaning
procedures,thusensuringgoodperformanceandlongservicelife.
Washwithwarmsoapydampcloth.Foranenhancedappearancewipethesurfacewithacleandampclothor
sponge,beingsuretofollowthepolishor ‘brushing’ lines. A stainlesssteelcleanermayalsobeusedinaccordance
withthemanufacturer’sinstructions.
Wherethestainlesssteelhasbecomeextremelydirtywithsignsofsurfacediscolouration, (duetoperiodsofneglect
ormis-use)useamildcleaningsolutioneg. ‘Jif’ or ‘Hillmark’ stainlesssteelcleaner.Whenremovingthesestainsbe
suretofollowthepolishor ‘brushing’ lines.
Ifafaultdevelopsinthecooktop,pleasecheckthepointslistedbelow.Itmaybe
possibletosave aservicecall,andthereforekeepingthecooktopinuse.
