Using the hotplates of your cooker

Hotplates safety warnings
Do not use pots and pans which are unsteady, as these could overbalance.

Do not use mats, heat diffusers or wok stands. These will cause a temperature build-up which can damage the

cook top.
Do not let cooking pots overhang sides or front of hob get too close to the hotplate control knobs.

Choosing Cooking Pots
Look at this diagram below which shows you which utensils to use on the hotplates and which utensils should not be
used.
Always use pots and pans with flat bottoms. Uneven or thin bottoms will waste energy and cook slowly.

Always use pots and pans which are slightly larger than the hotplate. Small pans waste energy.

Always put dry pots and pans on the hotplates.

Do not use pots and pans which are too large. Pans which overhang the hotplate more than 50 mm can

damage the hob
Using the hotplates of your electric cooker
Check the hotplates on your cooker against the diagrams below before you use your cooker for the first time.
Solid hotplates
The strong solid-cast hotplates give wide contact for fast, efficient

cooking.
The hotplates are sealed all around which means that spilt liquids

do not go under the hotplates.
Before first use
The top surface of the hotplates are sealed with a heat resistant

coating. Before using for the first time the hotplates should be heated
for a short period without a pan to harden the protective coating.
Turn the heat setting to high for approx 3 minutes to fully harden the

coating. When the hotplates have cooled apply a thin coating of cooking
oil to the hotplate to seal and protect the surface.
