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. | ❍ |

The two normal simmering burners on the right hand side of the hotplate are oval in form and can be turned through 90˚. This makes the hotplate more flexible in how it can be used.
For cooking fish or heating oval cookware use the two burners with their longest sides at 90˚ to the front of the hotplate.
When using the griddle or for heating rectangular, square or large cookware use the two burners with their longest sides parallel to the front of the hotplate.
For medium size cookware use any of the two burners in any orientation. All pans should be placed centrally over the burners.
TO USE THE HOTPLATE
1.Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob of the chosen burner
2.Turn the control knob
Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the small flame symbol for adjusting the setting.
3.To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the O position.
DO NOT use
DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.
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.
