Using the Hotplates of your Electric Cooker

Check the hotplates on your cooker against the diagrams and instructions below before you use your cooker for the first time.

Solid hotplates

Coated hotplates are strong, solid cast hotplates that give a wide contact with pots and pans for fast efficient cooking.

The hotplates are sealed all round with stainless steel trim rings, food spills can’t penetrate to make cleaning easier. The hotplates featuring a red dot in the centre indicate the hotplate temperature. Once the hotplate is heated the red dot turns darker.

Ceramic hotplates

•The cooktop is made from ceramic glass, a tough, durable material that withstands heating and cooling without breaking. It is strong enough to hold the heaviest utensil. However, it must be remembered that as it is GLASS, it may break. Treat it accordingly!

•The smooth glass surface has a pattern to show where the elements under the glass are located (see diagram below).

•When a hotplate is on, the hot surface warning light

(see diagram below), will come on. When the hotplate is turned off this light will continue to glow until the temperature of the hotplate drops below 60°C.
