USING THE HOB
•
To operate the hotplates, turn the control
knobs clockwise from the 'OFF' position (0) to
the required setting.
•
The highest number represents the hottest
setting and the lowest number the coolest
setting.
Choose a setting appropriate to the
quantity and type of food to be cooked.
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS
For speed and economy only good quality
saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are
recommended.
The saucepan base should cover the hotplate as
much as possible.
A base diameter of up to
225mm (9”) may be used on a 180mm (7”)
hotplate.
Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc., should
comply with the recommendations given above.
Traditional
round bottomed Woks with flat-
bottomed bases are available and do comply with
the above recommendations.
HINTS AND TIPS
•
Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the
hotplates. This will help to reduce scratches
and maintain the efficiency of the hotplates.
•
Avoid placing fish kettles or large preserving
pans across two hotplates as this may cause
damage.
•
Follow any guidelines provided by the
saucepan manufacturer, particularly those
relating to recommended heat settings.
•
Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted
saucepans. Those with uneven bases should
not be used.
•
To prolong the life of the hotplates:-
•
Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a
bucket.
•
Never use an asbestos mat.
•
Never line the spillage tray with foil.
•
Never leave the hotplates ON when not
covered with a saucepan.
