The hotplate has two high speed burners and two simmering burners which will
accommodate pans between 100mm (4") and 230mm (9") diameter. All pans should be
positioned centrally over the burners.
Simmering aids such as steel plates should not be used because they can cause
damage to the pan supports.
TO USE THE HOTPLATE
1. Check that the electricity supply is turned on.
2. 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 sparks light the gas.
3. 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.
4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol
DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable.
DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.
DO NOT use the hotplate unless all pan supports are in position.
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.
When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are removed for cleaning, be careful not to
drop any food particles or cleaning materials into the burner bases, to avoid the
possibility of blocking the gas jets.
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.
When the hotplate burners are turned down, a slight 'popping' noise may be heard. This
is perfectly normal.
