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 or heat diffusers on top of
hotplates. These will cause a temperature build-up
which can damage the cook top.
•
DO NOT turn on hotplates if there is no pot or pan
on hotplate or if they do not contain food or liquids
in them.
•
DO NOT let cooking pots overhang sides or front of
hob as they can radiate too much heat onto control
knobs or bench top surfaces.
Ceramic hotplates
•
DO NOT use if the ceramic glass top is cracked or
broken.
•
DO NOT leave aluminium foil on the hot ceramic
hotplates (permanent damage will occur)
NOTE: Stored heat in the hotplate can be used for
the last few minutes of cooking. Simply turn off the
control.
Choosing Cooking Pots
Look at this diagram below which shows you which
cooking pot and pans to use on the hotplates and
which ones that 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 or surrounding surfaces.
