14 Introduction About your new cooktop Thank you for buying an ELBA by Fisher & Paykel ceramic glass cooktop. This guide introduces you to all its features. We recommend you read the whole guide before using your new cooktop, for both safety and cooking success. For more information, visit our local website listed on the back cover. Before using your new cooktop Read this user guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety and warnings’ section. Remove any protective film that may still be on your cooktop.
Using your cooktop 15 The cooking zones become red when turned on full. Whenever a cooking zone is turned on, the ‘Cooking zone On’ indicator light will glow. When a cooking zone is turned off, the ‘Hot surface’ indicator light will glow until the glass becomes cool enough to be safely touched. Cooking zone controls To begin cooking, turn the control knob of the cooking zone you wish to use to the High setting, then adjust as necessary. For further advice, see ‘Cooking guidelines’ following.
16 Cooking guidelines Cookware Use heavy-gauge, flat, smooth-based cookware that matches the diameter of the cooking zone. This will provide good contact with the glass and help reduce cooking times. Low heat or slow cooking is often due to incorrect cookware size. Cookware with a stainless steel sandwich base or enamelled cast iron will give you the best results. Saucepans or heavy frying pans with jagged edges or a rough base will scratch the glass.
Cooking guidelines 17 Important! Never leave the appliance unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Take care when deep-frying: oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high setting. General cooking tips Using a lid will reduce cooking times through retaining the heat. Minimise the amount of liquid to reduce cooking times. Start cooking on a high setting and reduce it when the food has come to the boil or heated through.
18 Care and cleaning Important! For your safety, switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall before any cleaning. In this case, there will be no ‘Hot surface’ indication, but the cooking zones may still be hot! Take extreme care. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean your cooktop. Do not use scourers or any harsh/abrasive cleaning agents to clean your cooktop, as these can scratch the ceramic glass or stainless steel.
