TO USE THE HOTPLATE

zTo light a hotplate burner: push and hold down the appropriate control knob and turn counter-clockwise to the large flame symbol , until the burner lights, then rotate the knob to the required setting.

zIn the event of the burner flame being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.

zThe control may be set towards a lower position, simply by turning the control knob towards the small flame symbol.

zIMPORTANT: The cast iron pan supports on the appliance are much heavier than those on most gas hob cookers. Therefore care must be taken when removing or re-fitting them to the hob. It is important that they are lifted from the appliance and not dragged across adjacent enamelled components which would result in damaging the enamel.

zUtensils handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface units - To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

zPans and kettles with concave bases should not be used.

zGlazed cooking utensils - Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

zEnsure the correct size utensil is chosen to prevent food boil over.

zNever leave surface units unattended at high heat settings - Grease from pans boiling over, may ignite.
