To USE the Hotplate

Hotplate

The hotplate lid is fitted with a safety device that will cut off the gas supply to the hotplate burners unless the lid is fully open. Also each burner is fitted with a safety device that will cut off the gas supply to it if the flame is extinguished for any reason. Each time a hotplate burner is used, the safety device has to be activated by pushing and holding in the control knob for 3 seconds after the gas has lit.

The hotplate has one high speed burner, two normal simmering burners and one small simmering burner which will accommodate pans between 120mm (5”) and 260mm (10”) diameter. Locate the pan support trivet above one of the simmering burners if a very small pan is being used.

All pans should be positioned centrally over the burners.

1.Remove any items or spillage from the top of the lid and then raise it to its fully open position.

2.Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob of the chosen burner anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to push in the control knob for a further 3 seconds after the gas has lit to allow time for the safety device to operate. If the burner extinguishes when the control knob is released, repeat the procedure ensuring that the control knob is fully depressed and allowing more time for the safety device to operate.

3.Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to reduce the heat input.

Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the small flame symbol when adjusting the setting.

4.To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol O.

DO NOT use the hotplate unless all pan supports are in position. DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable.

DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports. DO NOT use the glass lid as a working surface.

Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting the gas. To ensure rapid lighting of the burners every time they are used, the ignitors must be kept clean and dry. Remove any food spillage or cleaning materials from the ignitor using a small nylon brush such as a tooth brush. Access to the ignitor can be achieved by lifting off the loose burner parts carefully when the burners are cool.

When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are removed for cleaning, be careful not to drop any food particles or cleaning materials into the burner bases, to avoid the possibility of blocking the gas jets.

If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the top edge of the pan support fingers. See ‘Care and Cleaning’ section for cleaning information.
