Operation of your ORIGO Ceramic Cooktop
The control knobs are visually located on the cooking
surface in such a manner to indicate which knob controls
which burner. To activate any burner, PUSH-AND-
TURN any knob from the OFF position to the desired
heat setting. For your convenience, the control knobs
may be rotated right or left to reach the desired setting.
In addition to activating a burner, the turning of a control
knob also activates two indicator lights. The first,
remains on while the burner is energized. The second,
located adjacent to the knob, is the “HOT” indicator light
and remains on after the burner is deactivated and until
the residual ceramic surface temperature is safe to touch
(in approximately 12 minutes).
The controls feature variable settings represented by the
HI, MED and LO label. These positions, or any in-
between, may be used to independently regulate the heat
for each burner element.
The advanced HiLight radiant heating element used
in this appliance ensures a rapid heat-up. Insure that
the cooking surface is free of any combustible
materials before operation!

Use of the Eurotech Ceramic Cooktop
To obtain the best cooking results from this appliance,
following are a few basic rules to follow when cooking or
preparing food:
• Heat is almost instantaneous, whereas cool-down is
slow. Therefore it is desirable to turn the burner
immediately to the desired setting.
• Pans should be of a good quality and flat on the
bottom to insure complete contact with the heating
area (Fig.1). To guarantee this, it is recommended
that new pans be used. Stainless steel and cast iron
pans work best. Aluminum pans are not
recommended on HIGH temperature.
• Be sure the pan is the same size or slightly larger than
the heating element (Fig.2). The size and location of
each element is indicated by the graphics design on
the cooking surface.
• Be sure the bottom of the pan is dry.
Remember the heating zone of each element will
remain hot after the burner is switched off. Watch
the “HOT” indicator light and take care not to
place anything on the cooktop, which may be
damaged or become hot to the touch until cool-
down is complete.
Care and Cleaning
Your Origo Eurotech ceramic cooktop is
translucent, non-porous and very easy to clean with
a recommended cleaner.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads on the
cooking surface.
Normal Care – Be sure the cooktop surface is cool and
the “HOT” indicator light is off. Apply a small amount of
cooktop cleaning cream in the center of each area to be
cleaned. Dampen a paper towel and work the cream on
the surface as if cleaning a window. Wipe with a clean,
dry paper towel.
Spillover Cleaning – For spills and boilovers that occur
while cooking, turn the unit off and wipe the area
surrounding the hot zone with a clean paper towel.
Spillovers in the hot zones should be treated as burned-on
spills referenced below. If accidentally melt any object or
spill foods with a high sugar content (preserves, ketchup,
tomato sauce, etc.), remove the spill IMMEDIATELY
while the element is still hot with a razor scraper.
Use a potholder glove to protect your hand while
cleaning material from a hot zone.
