USING THE HOB
· To operate the hotplates, turn the control knobsclockwise from the OFF position (0) to the
required setting.
· The highest number represents the hottestsetting and the lowest number 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.
The saucepan base should cover the hotplate as
much as possible. A base diameter of up to 225m m
(9") may be used on a 180mm (7") 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
· Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off thehob to help reduce scratches and maintain the
efficiency of the hotplates.
· Avoid placing fish kettles or large preservingpans across two hotplates as this may cause
damage.
· Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepanmanufacturer, particularly those relating to
recommended heat settings.
· Avoid using thin, badly dented or distortedsaucepans. Those with uneven bases should not
be used.
