The hotplate
You can only use the hotplate when the lid is open. If you have any trouble lighting a hotplate burner, turn all hotplate control knobs off and make sure that the burner parts have been replaced correctly. Now light the burner in the usual way. See page 25 for more detailed information.
Heat control
The hotplate control knobs turn to the left from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. You can adjust the heat by turning the control between the highest and lowest settings. These are shown as a large and a small flame symbol.
Burner sizes
The hotplate has three burner sizes to suit different types of cooking:
Largest burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for food such as chips.
Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday cooking.
Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering food such as soups and stews.
The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9"). The base of the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4").
