HOTPLATE
The hotplate has one dual control wok burner, one large high speed burner, three normal simmering burners and one small simmering burner. The dual control wok burner consists of a smaller inner and a larger outer burner that can operate either together or separately. Use of the two burners together with large pans on maximum setting gives a very high input and reduces cooking times with respect to conventional burners. Use of the two burners together provides a more uniform distribution of heat on the bottom of the pan. Cookware of all sizes can be used above the dual control wok burner. For small pans it is recommended that only the inner burner is used.

Each burner is fitted with a spark ignition electrode for lighting the gas.
To ensure rapid lighting of the burners every time they are used, the electrodes must be kept clean and dry. Remove any food spillage or cleaning materials from the electrodes 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.
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 further information.
