A comprehensive Operating and Service Manual. All schematics are complete and easy to read. The PCB drawings and complete parts list are very helpful. I would definitely recommend this manual.
Genuine Toshiba owner's manual. Couldn't really ask for more. And written in understandable English in contrast to a few recent experiences I have had with manuals for other equipment other than Toshiba but made in China and written in "Chinglish"!

Operating Instructions
General information
The cooking surface is made of proven ceramic glass and consists of 4 cooking zones. The rapid glowing cooking zones are especially efficient radiant heating elements which will considerably reduce the duration of heating--up. The cooking surface is insensitive to rapid changes in temperature. Pots can therefore be moved from a hot to cold zone. When switching on a cooking zone you may hear a short buzz. That is a characteristic of all ceramic glass cooking zones and does not impair the function or the lifetime of the appliance. Always put pots and pans onto the cooking zone before switching on.
Heat Control Knobs
The control knobs regulate the heating capacity of the cooking zones. The control knobs for the cooking zone can be turned to the left and to the right to the desired position. 1 = minimum setting 12 = maximum setting. Setting it back to �O� turns off the cooking zone. Always put pans or pots on the cooking zones, before switching on.
Residual heat indicator
Each cooking zone is related to one indicator. The warning lamp lights up when the surface of the corresponding cooking zone reaches a temperature which could cause burns. This light remains lit after the relevant zone has been switched off as long as the residual heat of the corresponding cooking surface can cause burns. The light will go out when the temperature falls below 60 oC.
