HOTPLATE The hotplate has one dual control wok burner, one large high speed burner, three normal simmering burners and one small simmering burner. The dual control wok burner consists of a smaller inner and a larger outer burner that can operate either together or separately. Use of the two burners together with large pans on maximum setting gives a very high input and reduces cooking times with respect to conventional burners.
Page 12
HOTPLATE 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.
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.
SOME RECIPE IDEAS FOR YOUR GRIDDLE DROPPED SCONES METHOD 4oz (100g) plain flour 1. Rub the fat into the flour. 1/4 tsp salt 2. Beat in the remaining ingredients. 3. When a smooth batter has been obtained, drop 1 level tsp (5ml) cream of tartar spoonfuls on to the pre-heated griddle plate.
TWIN GRILL CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS USED. YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL DOOR CLOSED. The grill control is designed to provide variable heat control of either the full width of the grill or just the grill half. Turning the control knob clockwise will switch on the full width and turning anticlockwise will switch on just the grill half.
FAN OVEN The heating of the oven is achieved by turning the control knob clockwise to the required temperature as recommended in the temperature charts. The pilot light will immediately come on and will automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature. It should be noted that at the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened, this will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good seal.

FAN OVEN TEMPERATURE AND TIME When all three shelves are used to cook large quantities of food for home freezing or parties, it may be necessary to increase the cooking times given in the charts by a few minutes to allow for the loss of heat due to the extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food.
CONVENTIONAL OVEN OVEN CONTROL Heating of the oven is achieved by turning the control clockwise to the required oven temperature scale on the control panel, as recommended in the temperature charts. The pilot light will immediately come on and off during cooking as the thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
