on.
The hot surface indicator light will glow any time the ceramic surface
is approximately 150ºF (65ºC) or higher.
Cooking Recommendations:
Save energy by turning the temperature control off any time the
hotplate is not in use. The heating elements will provide full heat
within 30 seconds, making it unnecessary to leave the unit on during
intermittent use.
Each heating element can hold up to a 16 quart pot or pan. For
efficient heating of food product, pots and pans should be no more
than 10” in diameter. Maximize the efficiency of the ceramic top by
using flat-bottom pots and pans.
Preserve the luster of the ceramic cook surface by wiping up spills
promptly and by cleaning frequently. Allow the hotplate to cool
completely before cleaning. Use only cook-top cleaning crème on
glass-ceramic cooking surfaces.
Stir thick liquids frequently to maintain a consistent temperature.
