Indesit KDP60G - Manual (Page 8)

The hotplate lid is fitted with a safety device which cuts off the gas supply to the
hotplate burners unless the lid is fully open. Do not use the safety device as a
means of controlling the hotplate burners.
The hotplate has one high speed burner, two normal simmering burners and one
small simmering burner which will accommodate pans between 120mm (5”) and
260mm (10”) diameter. Locate the pan support trivet above one of the simmering
burners if a very small pan is being used.
All pans should be positioned centrally over the burners.
TO USE THE HOTPLATE
1. Remove any items or spillage from the top of the lid and then raise it
to its fully open position.
2. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob
of the chosen burner anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol.
Continue to press the ignition button until the sparks light the gas.
3. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to reduce the heat input.
Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the
small flame symbol when adjusting the setting.
4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol O.
DO NOT use the hotplate unless all pan supports are in position.
DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable.
DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.
DO NOT use the glass lid as a working surface.
Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting the gas. To ensure rapid lighting
of the burners every time they are used, the ignitors must be kept clean and dry.
Remove any food spillage or cleaning materials from the ignitor using a small nylon
brush such as a tooth brush. Access to the ignitor can be achieved by lifting off the
loose burner parts carefully when the burners are cool.
When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are removed for cleaning, be careful not
to drop any food particles or cleaning materials into the burner bases, to avoid the
possibility of blocking the gas jets.
If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the top edge
of the pan support fingers. See ‘Care and Cleaning’ section for cleaning information.
