HOTPLATE
The hotplate has two high speed burners and two simmering burners which will accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and 230mm (9”) diameter. All pans should be positioned centrally over the burners.
Simmering aids such as steel plates should not be used because they can cause damage to the pan supports.
TO USE THE HOTPLATE
1.Check that the electricity supply is turned on.
2.Push in and turn the control knob of the
chosen burner
3.Turn the control knob
Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the small flame symbol for adjusting the setting.
4.To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol ●
DO NOT use
DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.
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 possi- bility 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.
When the hotplate burners are turned down, a slight ‘popping’ noise may be heard. This is perfectly normal.
