THE SEALED HOTPLATES

BEFORE USING THE HOTPLATES FOR THE FIRST TIME

Turn the control knob to a medium/high setting and allow the hotplate to heat uncovered by a saucepan for 3-5 minutes. This hardens the protective coating on the hotplates and makes it more resistant to normal use. A harmless smoke will be given off from the hotplates.

To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in

leither direction to vary the heat setting.

The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest represents the coolest setting. Choose a setting appropriate to the quantity and type of food to be cooked.

RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS

For speed and economy only good quality saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are recommended.

To check the flatness of the saucepan place a ruler across the pan base, hold at eye level and look for light showing. There should be very little or no light visible between the ruler and the pan base.

The size of the base of the saucepan should be the same or up to 3cm/1 inch larger than the hotplate. If the base is too small energy will be wasted, boilovers will also be more difficult to deal with as spillage will fall directly onto the hotplate.

Pressure cookers, preserving pans etc., should comply with the recommendations given above.

Traditional round bottomed Woks must not be used even with a stand. Woks with flat-bottomed bases are available and do comply with the above recommendations.

HINTS AND TIPS

Avoid the use of decorative covers as they can cause condensation to form on the hotplates which may lead to deterioration.

Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan manufacturer, particularly those relating to recommended heat settings.

Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted saucepans as they can lead to sticking and

lburning of food.

To prolong the life of the hotplates:

lNever use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket Never use an asbestos mat
