Fisher & Paykel CE901 - Manual (Page 12)

Q Is it possible for my cooktop to shatter?
A This is highly unlikely. The glass is very robust
and strong and goes through a vigorous
testing process before it is accepted.
Q Does the glass scratch easily?
A No, the glass is very tough. However check
that your pots do not have jagged edges on
the bottom.
Q What do the lights mean?
A These depict the status of the elements:
Red (CE901), White (CE901M) - the element is
turned on.
Amber (CE901), Red (CE901M) - the element
is turned off but the surface is still hot.
Q Will the graphics come off?
A No, the graphics on the glass are fused onto
the surface. However they may be obscured
by baked on food. This is easily removed with
the scraper supplied with the product. The
graphics on the stainless steel are etched by
laser. Refer to the Cleaning instructions.
Q Will the surface overheat?
A Each element is fitted with temperature
limiters that prevent overheating.
Q What is the best way to clean my cooktop?
A See Cleaning instructions.
Q Why do the elements appear to turn off while
cooking/heating?
A In order to maintain the selected temperature
the element may pulse on and off.
Q Do I need special pans?
A No, however flat bottom pans are
recommended as they are more energy
efficient and stable.
Q How can I achieve a low setting for delicate
cooking and simmering?
A CE901: The lowest power element is the inner
part of the dual element and you may want
to experiment by turning the control below
the marked low setting.
CE901M: The Supersimmer control on the
front right element allows it to be turned
down to a very low and even power setting.
Q Can I fit my Fisher & Paykel oven below my
cooktop?
A Yes, with a standard bench height.
