10 Using your cooktop Controls Depending on your model, your cooktop has two or four individual elements below a ceramic glass surface. In CT5602F and CT6551S models, one of the elements is a dual element; you may use either the full element or the inner element only. See ‘Dual element controls’ below. The diameters of the cooking areas are clearly marked. The elements become red when turned on full. The elements are fitted with temperature limiters to prevent the glass from overheating.
Using your cooktop Dual element controls (CT5602F and CT6551S models only) Select the full element by turning the knob anticlockwise to High to begin cooking, and adjust as necessary. To heat the inner element only, turn clockwise to High to begin cooking, and adjust as necessary. For further advice on cooking, see ‘Cookware and cooking tips’ following. High (full element) Low (full element) Low (inner element) High (inner element) Fig.
12 Cookware and cooking tips To get the best results out of your cooktop, follow the suggestions below. Cookware Use heavy-gauge, flat, smooth-bottom cookware that matches the diameter of the cooking area. 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.
Care and cleaning 13 Important! Switch the cooktop off at the wall before cleaning. Cut hazard – When the safety cover is retracted, the blade in the scraper is razor-sharp. Use with extreme care and always store safely and out of reach of children. Do not use harsh/abrasive cleaning agents or heavy-duty scourers to clean your cooktop, as they may scratch the glass surface and damage the stainless steel finish and the knobs.
14 Frequently asked questions Q Is it possible for my cooktop to shatter? A This is highly unlikely. The glass is very robust and goes through a rigorous testing process before it reaches you. Q Does the glass scratch easily? A No, the glass is very tough. However, check that your cookware does not have jagged edges and do not use a heavy-duty or unsuitable nylon scourer. Q Will the surface overheat? A Each element is fitted with temperature limiters that prevent overheating.
