Rotate the knob (Fig 1) to the position corresponding to the desired heat intensity taking into
consideration that the higher the number, the higher heat supply corresponds. (see table below)
Switch Energy regulator Heat intensity
1 1-2 Weak
2 3-4 Gentle
3 5-6 Slow
4 7-8 Medium
5 9-10 Strong
6 10-11 Intense
When the pilot lights are lit (Fig 2), they indicate: -
A - One or more heating elements are switched on.
B - The top temperature at the indicated spot is higher than 50ºC.
Some types of pilot lights will maintain some slight luminescence even after disconnection. This is quite
normal.
It is recommended to use cooking receptacles with a flat bottom which have the same diameter or are
slightly larger than that of the cooking zone (Fig 3).
WARNING!
§ Avoid overflows of liquid. Once boiling point has been reached, or liquid is heated, reduce the heat
supply.
§ Do not leave the heating elements on without receptacles on top or with empty pots or pans.
§ At the end of cooking turn the knob to position 0 (zero).
§ Never use the ceramic hob as a working surface. Sharp objects may scratch it.
§ Preparation of food in aluminium or plastic dishes on hot cooking plates is not allowed. Do not
place any plastic objects or aluminium foils upon the cooktop surface.
§ Do not place saucepan lids on the cooktop surface. Extreme pressure can build up while cooling
and cause the ceramic top to crack!
§ The ceramic surface is very strong, however, it is not unbreakable. Breakage from excessive force
or impact may void warranty.
§ Never use a cracked or broken ceramic hob. The hob may break or crack if an object with sharp
edges falls on it. The crack may be visible immediately or only after some time. Disconnect the
appliance from mains immediately in case any cracks are detected upon the glass ceramic surface.
§ In the event of even a slight fracture on the cooking surface, disconnect the electric power supply
immediately and contact your nearest authorised Kleenmaid Service Agent on 1300 652 100.
