Radiant Hotplates
The high-speed radiant coil hotplates heat rapidly
from a cold start to give you economic use of power.
Radiant hotplate models have a bowl under each element
for collecting spillage.
The radiant elements are removable to aid in cleaning the
hob and spillage bowls. The spillage bowl can be removed
by first removing the element and then removing the
spillage bowl.
Ceramic Hotplates
The ceramic cooktop is made from ceramic glass, a tough
durable material that withstands heating and cooling
without breaking. However it must be remembered that it
is glass, it may break. Treat it accordingly!
Should you have any questions about the glass in your
appliance, please contact the Customer Care Centre
by calling:
1300 363 640 (Australia)
0800 436 245 (New Zealand)
WARNING
WARNING
If the ceramic glass is cracked, switch off the appliance to
avoid the possibility of electric shock.
Utensils
• Use pans with flat bottoms. Uneven or thin bottoms
will waste energy and result in slow cooking.
• Use pans slightly larger than the hotplates. Small pans
will waste energy.
• Do not use oversize pans. More than 50mm overhang
can overheat cooktop components and can cause
fine cracks in the enamel hob which will trap dirt.
• Use only dry utensils. Do not place wet or steamy
parts (e.g. lids) 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 utensil on the hotplate.

Cooking Do’s and Don’ts
• Do use the stored heat in the hotplate by turning the
control to “0“ before the final few minutes of cooking.
• Do not place heat resistant mats, wire mats or
aluminium 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 or similar utensils
which could lead to overheating of the hotplates and
possible damage to the cooking surface.
• Do not use the cooktop as extra bench space or as
a cutting board.
• Do not allow children on or near the cooktop at
any time.
