If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner goes out,
then the FSD has not been bypassed. Turn the control knob
to the OFF position and wait for one minute before you try
again, this time making sure to hold in the control knob for
slightly longer.
Adjust the flame height to suit by turning the knob counter-
clockwise (Fig. 2.3). On this cooker the low position is
beyond high, NOT between high and off.
If a burner flame goes out, turn off the control knob and
leave it for one minute before relighting it.
Make sure that the flames are under the pans. Using a lid will
help the contents boil more quickly (Fig. 2.4).
Large pans should be spaced well apart.
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down-turned base
rims should not be used (Fig. 2.5).
Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are
NOT recommended (Fig. 2.6). They will reduce burner
performance and could damage the pan supports.
You should also avoid using unstable and misshapen pans
that may tilt easily, and pans with a very small base diameter,
e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers (Fig. 2.7).
The minimum recommended pan diameter is 120 mm. The
maximum allowable pan base diameter is 260 mm.
DO NOT use cooking vessels on the hotplate that overlap the
edges.
The Wok Cradle
The wok cradle (Fig. 2.8) is designed to fit the centre burner.
It will not fit any of the other burner pan supports.
It should be located so that the cut-outs in the cradle sit
directly on the projecting burner supports (Fig. 2.9).
Woks vary very widely in size and shape. It is important that
the wok is securely held: if the wok is too big or too small the
cradle will not support it properly.
For the wok to heat properly it must be close to the burner.
For this reason we recommend that you do not use the wok
cradle with a flat bottomed wok.
When you fit the cradle, check that it is properly located on
the pan support fingers. Make sure that it is stable and that
the wok is sitting level in the cradle.
The wok cradle will get very hot in use – allow plenty
n
of time for it to cool before you pick it up.
