Griddle - Hotpoint CH 10750 GF S Operating Instructions Manual

TO USE THE HOTPLATE
1. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob of the
chosen burner anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to press
the ignition button until the spark lights the gas. When operating the dual
control burner there is a separate control knob for the inner and outer burners.
2. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting. Only turn
the control knob between the large flame symbol and the small flame
symbol for adjusting the setting.
3. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the O position.
DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable.
DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.
Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting the gas. To ensure
rapid lighting of the burners every time they are used, the ignitors must be
kept clean and dry. Remove any food spillage or cleaning materials from
the ignitor using a small nylon brush such as a tooth brush. Access to the
ignitor can be achieved by lifting off the loose burner parts carefully when
the burners are cool.
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the
burner controls and do not attempt to re-ignite the burners for at least 1 minute.
If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the top
edge of the pan support fingers. See 'Care and Cleaning' section for cleaning
information.
Models with Hob Gas Burner Safety Devices to Prevent Leaks *
These models can be identified by the presence of the device itself.
! Since the hob burners are equipped with a safety device, you must hold the
control knob in for about 3 seconds after the burner has been lighted to allow
the gas to pass until the safety thermocouple has heated.
For the hotplate to work in the most efficient way possible and in order to
save on the amount of gas consumed, it is recommended that only pans
which have a lid and a flat base are used. They should also be suited to the
size of the hotplate.

4. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot
oil or fat. Frozen foods in particular will cause frothing and spitting if added
too quickly.
5. Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or
fat.
How to deal with a fat fire
1. Do not move the pan.
2. Turn off the hotplate burners.
3. Smother the flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth to extinguish the fire.
Do not use water or a fire extinguisher as the force of it may spread the
burning fat or oil over the edge of the pan.
4. Leave the pan for at least 60 minutes before moving it.

Griddle

A non-stick griddle is supplied for use over the two burners on the right hand
side of the hob. The griddle is made of cast iron and the surface is covered
with a special nonstick finish. To protect the non-stick coating never use metal
cooking utensils as they may scratch the surface. Wooden or heat resistant
plastic utensils may be used. Do not use saucepans on the griddle plate.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST THE GRIDDLE PLATE BE USED
OVER ANY OTHER HOTPLATE BURNERS.
Use of the griddle
The griddle may be used with either or both of the burners on, depending on
the food being cooked. The griddle can be positioned with the ridged portion
at the front or at the rear.
1. Secure the griddle above the two simmer burners, on the right hand side
of the hob, making sure that the support feet are located correctly on the
pan support fingers.
2. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob(s) of
the burners anticlockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to press
the ignition button until the spark lights the gas. Preheat the griddle plate
for approximately four minutes.
3. Place the food directly on the griddle plate. However when cooking drier
foods eg. drop scones the griddle plate can be lightly greased.
4. The controls can be left at high for the sealing of foods or turned down to
a lower heat setting depending on what food is being cooked.
NB. A gentle heat is all that is required for the majority of griddling. Once
the griddle plate is up to temperature it maintains the cooking temperature
on a medium/low setting.
5. Cook the food for the required time, which will depend on the type of food
being cooked.
6. To turn off, push in and turn the control knob(s) fully clockwise to the O
position.
7. Allow the griddle plate to cool before cleaning.
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the
burner controls and do not attempt to re-ignite the burners for at least 1 minute.
