Use of Hotplates

Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium

 

foil in contact with the hob surface.

 

Turn the control to “High” for fast cooking. To cook more slowly or sim-

 

mer, turn the control to a lower setting according to the size of the

 

saucepan and the amount of liquid. The two small Hotplates are

 

specially for smaller pans, low temperature cooking and simmering.

 

Do Not leave a hotplate switched on without a pan as this wastes

 

energy and may shorten the life of the hotplate.

EH10 specifications

The Hotpoint EH10 is a versatile and modern electric cooker designed to meet the demands of today's household. With its combination of style and functionality, it offers a reliable cooking solution for any kitchen.

One of the standout features of the Hotpoint EH10 is its dual fuel capability. This means it combines the precision of gas cooking with the efficiency of electric ovens, providing a balanced and versatile cooking experience. The gas hob is equipped with multiple burners, allowing users to prepare multiple dishes simultaneously, while separate controls ensure precision cooking.

The EH10 boasts a spacious oven, which provides ample room for large meals and multiple trays. Its even cooking technology ensures that heat is distributed evenly, helping to eliminate hot spots that can lead to inconsistent results. This is especially beneficial for baking, where precise temperatures are crucial.

Moreover, the Hotpoint EH10 comes with several cooking modes, including fan-assisted cooking, grill, and traditional baking.
