SPIRAL PLATES
•
The markings around the plate control knobs represent the following heat settings:
•
Position 1-4 = Gentle simmer to simmer. Position 4-6 = Fast simmer to medium heat
Position 6-8 = Hot to maximum heat
•
The relevant plate indicator light will glow when a plate is switched on..
SPIRAL PLATE CARE
•
Use pots with a base diameter slightly larger than the plate. This will ensure even heat
distribution and prevent spillage from dripping onto and staining the plate.
•
Always cover the pot with a lid as this will conserve energy and minimise spillage.
CLEANING SPIRAL PLATES
•
Switch off the electrical supply point to the stove.
•
When the plates are cold, lift the hinged spiral plate up and remove the supports and
trims.
•
Slide the drip tray out from under the hob.
•
Use hot soapy water to clean the plates, plate supports, trims and drip tray. Use a
nylon brush on badly soiled items.
•
Wipe dry after cleaning and replace items.
SOLID PLATES
Before using the plates for the first time, switch them on for four minutes at the highest
setting. This allows the factory applied protective coating to burn in.
The markings around the plate control knobs represent the following heat settings:
Position 1 = Warming. 2 = Slow simmer. 3 = Simmer. 4 = Medium heat. 5 = High heat 6
= Boiling and frying.
The plate indicator light will glow when a plate is switched on.
SOLID PLATE CARE
•
Use only good quality flat bottomed pots and ensure that the pot diameter is the same
as or slightly larger than the plate diameter. This will prevent any spillage from
dripping onto the plate itself.
•
Any spillage should be wiped off as soon as possible with a damp cloth.
•
A nylon brush may be used to clean badly soiled plates
•
Periodically wipe the plate with sewing machine oil or electrical hotplate polish
(available from Defy Service Centres) to prevent them from corroding.
•
Do not leave plates wet after cleaning them, but switch them on briefly to dry them.
•
NOTE: The warranty does not cover the replacement or repair of rusted or corroded
solid plates. It is therefore the owners responsibility to care for them as described
above.
