Hotplate burners
1
The drawing by each knob indicates which burner
that knob controls.
Press the igniter button, and push in and turn a knob
to the large fl ame symbol ( ). Alternatively light with
a match.
2
Adjust the fl ame height to suit by turning the knob.
On this cooker the low position is beyond high, not
between high and off. The small fl ame marks the ‘low
position’. Tur n the knob towards it after the contents
of a pan have boiled.
3
Make sure fl ames are under the pans. Using a lid will
help the contents boil more quickly.
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down turned
base rims should not be used.
4
Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats,
are NOT recommended. They will reduce burner
performance and could damage the pan supports.
5
Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that may
tilt easily and pans with a very small base diameter
e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers. The minimum
pan diameter recommended is 120mm.
Pans and kettles with down turned base rims should
not be used.
6
The Wok burner is designed to provide even heat over
a large area. It is ideal for large pans and stir frying.
For heating smaller pans the smaller burners may be
more effi cient.
If a burner fl ame goes out, turn the control knob
off and leave it for one minute before relighting it.
You can remove the burner parts for cleaning,
see the ‘Cleaning uour cooker’ section of the
instructions.
You should wipe the enamel top surface of the
cooker around the hotplate burners as soon as
possible after spills occur. Try to wipe them off
while the enamel is still warm.
