The hotplate has four gas burners:
l
rear left - rapid burner - rated at 3.0 kW
front left and rear right - semi rapid burners - each rated at 1.75 kW
front right - ultra rapid (wok) burner - rated at 3.5 kW
The semi-rapid burners are especially suited for use with small pans and for gentle
l
simmering or poaching.
All burners have a set simmer position and are easily adjustable.
l
TO USE THE HOTPLATE
To light a hotplate burner: push in and turn the control knobs anti-clockwise to the large
l
flame symbol (
), and hold in for 3 seconds until the burner lights, then turn the knob to
the required setting.
If the burner flame should accidentally go out, turn off the burner control and do not attempt
l
to re-light the burner for at least one minute.
The control may be set towards a lower position, simply by turning the control knob towards
l
the small flame symbol.
IMPORTANT: The cast iron pan supports on the appliance are much heavier than those on
l
most gas hotplate cookers, therefore care must be taken when removing or re-fitting them
to the hob. It is important that they are lifted from the appliance and not dragged across
nearby enamelled parts which would result in damaging the enamel.
SOME SAFETY POINTS
Simmering aids such as asbestos or mesh mats are not recommended. They may impede
l
burner performance, damage the pan supports and waste fuel.
Commercially available foil spillage aids are unnecessary on this cooker.
l
Some 'Wok' cooking parts are unstable. Check with the 'Wok' manufacturer before
l
purchasing.
DO NOT USE unstable and misshapen pans (e.g. with convex bases) that tilt easily.
l
The minimum pan diameter recommended is 120mm, maximum recommended is 280mm.
l
Never use pans which overhang the front facia.
l
Place all pans centrally over the burners.
l
Always position pan handles away from the front of the cooker - away from the reach of
l
small children.
NEVER leave a chip pan unattended.
l
Pans and kettles with concave bases should not be used.
