IMPORTANT: To switch on, always lightly press the control knob inwards then turn.

TO AVOID OVERCOOKING, REMOVE POTS / PANS FROM THE COOKTOP WHEN THE FOOD IS COOKED. AVOID PLACING ANY OBJECTS ON THE COOKTOP UNTIL IT HAS COOLED DOWN COMPLETELY.

WARNING
Make sure that the handles of cookware do not stick out over the edge of the range, to avoid them being knocked over by accident. This also makes it more difficult for children to reach the cooking pots/pans.

COOKWARE TIPS
The physical characteristics of pots and pans influence the performance of any cooking systems.
Therefore, emphasis must be placed on the importance of using proper cookware.

• Use cooking vessels with flat bottoms and tight-fitting lids to conserve energy and shorten cooking times.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed cookware are suitable for use on glass cooktops. Manufacturers suggest using low to medium heat selections when using glass cookware.
• Pan size should match the element size. A slightly larger pan covers the entire element and prevents spillovers from contacting the heat surface and burning in. Using a smaller pan than the element is a waste of energy.
• To avoid spattering and to maximize efficiency, pan bottoms should be clean and dry before coming in contact with the cooktop.

****OVEN LIGHT

The oven light is controlled by a push switch on the control panel.
