Using your cooktop

To start cooking

• Turn the control dial of the cooking zone you wish to use to the High setting, then adjust as necessary.
• When using dual cooking zones, you may choose to use the inner zone only ( ) or the full dual cooking zone ( ).
• Some models have a cooking zone with a unique SuperSimmer feature. This special, low turndown range is excellent for the most delicate cooking tasks, like melting chocolate or simmering soups and stews.
• For further advice on cooking and using the SuperSimmer feature, see ‘Cooking guidelines’ following.

‘Hot surface’ indicators

• As soon as you turn a cooking zone on, its ‘Hot surface’ indicator will start glowing.
• It will continue to glow even after you have turned the cooking zone off, until the glass becomes cool enough to be safely touched.

When you have finished cooking

• When you have finished using a cooking zone, turn its dial to the off (O) position.
• When you have finished using your cooktop, check that all dials are turned off.
