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

either direction to vary the heat setting.

· The highest number represents the hottest

setting 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.

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 2.5cm/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

· Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the

hob to help reduce scratches and maintain the

efficiency of the hotplates.

· 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

burning of food.

· To prolong the life of the hotplates:

· Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket.

· Never use an asbestos mat.

· Never leave the hotplates ON when not

covered with a saucepan.
