HOTPLATE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

A. COOKING WITH YOUR HOTPLATE

1.Each element is individually controlled by a TEMPERATURE CONTROL (H.01 and H.03). These are infinite switch controls which control based on electrical current draw, not the actual temperature of the hotplate surface.

2.Settings are OFF to

HIGH.

3. The associated indicator will glow when the switch is in any position other than OFF.

4. When set to HIGH, the hotplate element can reach maximum temperature in approximately 10 minutes.

5.Once liquid begins to boil, reduce the setting to minimize power consumption and increase the useful life of the elements.

6.Use cooking pans which fully cover the elements for maximum efficiency. Maximum recommended pot diameter is 10 inches.

OPERATION (continued)

CAUTION:

Hot Surface

Exposed surfaces can be hot to the touch and may cause burns.

CAUTION:

Electrical Shock

Hazard

DO NOT splash or pour water onto control panel or wiring.

CAUTION:

Electrical Shock

Hazard

Use extreme caution when using double broiler-type pans: DO NOT over fill the lower pan with water, which can cause an overflow. Any moisture splashed onto the hotplate top can leak into the lower areas of the oven causing a potential shock hazard and causing severe damage to the electronic controller.

NOTE: Damage caused by moisture leaking into the electronic controller is NOT covered by warranty.

IMPORTANT:

The dial markings are an INDICATION of temperature only. The temperature of the food product depends on many factors, including the size, shape and material of the food container, and the quantity and consistency of the food product.
