Ceramic cooktop (CTE)
The ceramic cooktop is made from glass ceramic, a tough material which is not affected by
changes in temperature.
Elements
Your cooktop has four individual elements, one of which is a dual circuit element. The diameters
of the cooking area are clearly marked.
The elements become red when turned on full. Corresponding hot surface indicator lights glow
on the control area.
Temperature limiters are fitted to the elements to prevent the glass from overheating. The
limiters will turn the elements on and off during cooking to maintain the temperature that has
been set.
Controls
The controls on the underbench oven are ‘push and turn’ as a safety feature to deter children
from turning the cooktop on.
