SOLID PLATES

Red dot plates

Plates featuring a red dot in the centre are high speed, high wattage plates for increased performance

For your safety these plates are fitted with thermal limiters. Should a plate be accidentally switched on and left unattended, the limiter will reduce the power output of the plate and minimise the risk of overheating and the possibility of fire.

Caring for Solid Plates

Before using the plates for the first time, switch them on for about 4 minutes at the highest setting. This allows the factory applied protective coating to burn in.

To prevent blotchy discolouration and corrosion, moisture from spatters and spills should be cleaned off immediately.

To clean the plates, wipe them with a damp cloth or nylon pad. A little liquid detergent may be used. Do not use metal scourers or sharp metal objects to clean the plates.

After cleaning, dry the plates by switching them on for a short while.

To prevent rust, periodically apply some, sewing machine oil or electrical hotplate polish - available from Defy Service Centres. Extra attention is required in areas of high humidity or in close proximity to the sea.

NOTE: THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF RUSTED OR CORRODED PLATES.

Recommendations

Use only pots with a solid level base. An uneven base can prolong cooking times and waste energy.

Use pots with a base diameter slightly larger than the plate. This will ensure even heat distribution and prevent spillage from dripping onto and staining the hot plate.

Always cover the pot with a lid. This will conserve energy and minimise spillage.

Thermal shock could damage the plates. Do not put cold pots on very hot plates.

Plate controls—variable

Select the heat level by turning the knob to the required setting.

You may select any setting.

1= low , 3 = medium and 6 = high.

The illuminated display will glow, when the plate is switched on.
