Cooking in Clayton Urban Community

Cooking in your apartment

  1. To use your cook top, turn on the power switch labelled ‘hob’ located with the power points on the left wall in your kitchen. Once you switch this on your cook top has power to operate.
  2. You can then turn the knobs on your cook top to the desired heat.
  3. If you still have no power to your cook top please check in the cupboard under your sink to make sure the cook top is plugged in and switched on.
  4. Please take care not to spill water onto the cook top. Watch your boiling water at all times, and don’t use excessive water when cleaning appliances or this will trip the power to your studio apartment.
  5. As the elements heat, an orange light will indicate the stove surface is hot. These orange lights turn off when the surface has reached room temperature, or when the cook top switch is turned off. This does not mean that your cook top is still on, only that it is hot.
  6. When you leave your room, please ensure that the knobs are in the off position, and the cook top switch is off to prevent a possible fire.
  7. Refer to the user manual for more information

COOK TOPS

Similar to your studio, the cook top in the common area is powered by the hob switch and knobs. Once the cook top is switched on, turn the knobs to the desired temperature.

When finished cooking, turn both the knobs and the hob switch to the off position. The red light between the hobs indicates the surface is hot.

Please take care not to spill water onto the cook top. Watch your boiling water at all times and don’t use excessive water when cleaning appliances or this will trip the power source leaving no power to the kitchen

RANGE HOOD

In common areas, the range hoods are located in the same location as in your room: above the stove.

To turn the range hood on, the exhaust power switch must be switched to the power position.

The switch is located under or on the side of the bench-top generally to the left.

Please utilise the range hood when cooking, as it eliminates odours
