depressed after the burner has ignited or
approximately 10-15 seconds, to allow the
thermocouple probe to reach temperature,
before releasing the knob. Should the flame
go out when the knob is released, the
procedure should be repeated holding the
knob depressed for slightly longer.
4. For models fitted with spark ignition the
procedure is similar except that the burner
can be ignited by depressing the ignition
button, which is located on the fascia. If
the burner has not lit within 15 seconds
the control knob should be released and
the burner left for at least 1 minute before a
further attempt to ignite the burner.
5. For simmering, turn the knob further
anti-clockwise to the low rate position.
6. To turn off: Turn the control know until the
line on the control knob is aligned with the
dot on the control panel. Always make
sure the control knob is in the off position
when you have finished using the hotplate
burners.

WARNING: The two in line hob burners
on this appliance will support pans from
10cm to 20cm. The single hob burner will
support pans from 10cm to 22cm.
!
WARNING: Glass lids may shatter when
heated. Turn off the hotplate and allow it to
cool before closing the glass lid. Remove
all spillage from the surface of the glass lid
before opening.
!
WARNING: The use of the electric
hotplate and gas hobs will generate heat.
We recommend, to avoid excess build-up
of heat around the cooker area, the window
is left opened when cooking to allow for
additional ventilation.

Using the hotplate
Ensure the electricity is switched on.
The hotplate control is numbered from 1 to 6.
To turn it on, rotate the knob either clockwise
or anti-clockwise to the required position.
Position 1 is the coolest setting. To turn the
hotplate off, rotate the knob until the line or
pointer on the knob lines up with the zero on
the control panel.
The hotplate is a sealed construction and
transfers heat through conduction. For
maximum efficiency a correctly sized pan with
a flat heavy gauge base should be used. Pan
size should be the same or slightly larger (up to
1"/2.5cm oversize).
Before using your hotplate for the first time, we
recommend that you prime and then season it.
To prime the Hotplate
Switch on the hotplate for a short period,
without a pan, to harden and burn off the
coating. Use a medium to high setting for 3 - 5
minutes. A non toxic smoke may occur during
this process. Allow it to cool, then season.
To season the Hotplate
First heat the hotplate for 30 seconds on
a medium setting, then switch off. Pour a
minimal amount of unsalted vegetable oil onto
a clean dry cloth or paper towel, and apply a
thin coat of oil to the hotplate surface. Wipe
off any excess oil, then heat the hotplate on
a medium setting for 1 minute. Occasional
seasoning will help to maintain the Hotplate's
appearance.
Using the grill
!
WARNING: The grill must only be used
with the door open. The heat deflector
below the fascia should be pulled out
prior to lighting the grill. Never adjust the
heat deflector position without using hand
protection i.e. oven gloves.
1. Ensure gas cylinder/supply is connected
and turned on. In the event of a gas smell
turn off at gas cylinder/mains and contact
supplier.
