Rear left twin circuit plate

This is a dual purpose plate with two elements. The settings on the glass control panel will show 1 - 4 when the control is turned clockwise to indicate that the whole hotplate is turned on and can be used for larger pan 4 is the highest setting. With the control knob turned anti- clockwise the settings on the glass control panel will show 1 - 4 to indicate that only the inner part of the hotplate is switched on. This is an energy saving feature and is useful for cooking with smaller pans or for slow simmering. The control will be OFF when the control knob is turned to the O position.

When the control is turned from the 0 position, the settings on the glass control panel will show 1 - 6.

6 is the highest setting, for fast cooking. To reduce the heat to cook more slowly or simmer, turn the knob to a lower setting which will vary according to size and type of saucepan, the amount and type of food, and whether or not the lid is fitted. Pans can be placed on the unheated areas of the panel when cooking is finished and before serving food.

It is inadvisable at any time to leave a heating element switched on without a pan in position as this wastes energy, and could make soil or rub-off from aluminium pans more difficult to remove. To protect elements against overheating, safety cut-outs have been incorporated with each element. After several minutes with the control at setting 6 (setting 4 on twin circuit plate) the safety cut-out switches the element Off and On continuously, thus preventing any adverse effects that may be caused by an excessive build-up of heat in the cooking area.

Setting 1 provides very low inputs of 3% to 10% for low simmering. (Excluding the twin circuit plate). The control will be Off when the control knob is turned to the O position.

If hob should become cracked, never use until repaired. Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned safely.

Featuring a blend of advanced technologies and user-friendly designs, these cookers promise to elevate your culinary experience while maintaining efficiency and safety.

One of the key features across these models is the multi-function oven. With various cooking modes, including fan-assisted convection, grill, and conventional heating, users can tailor their cooking methods to suit a wide range of recipes. The even heat distribution helps ensure that food is cooked perfectly every time, whether you’re roasting a chicken or baking pastries.

In terms of design, these models showcase a sleek and contemporary appearance, available in multiple finishes to suit different kitchen aesthetics. The clean lines and minimalist control panel contribute to an easy-to-navigate interface, allowing users to select settings effortlessly.

Safety is paramount in the Hotpoint C-series, and features such as the thermostatic temperature control and flame failure safety device are integral parts of these cookers.
