HOTPLATE
The hotplate has one dual control wok burner, one large high speed burner, three normal simmering burners and
one small simmering burner. The dual control wok burner consists of a smaller inner and a larger outer burner
that can operate either together or separately. Use of the two burners together with large pans on maximum
setting gives a very high input and reduces cooking times with respect to conventional burners. Use of the two
burners together provides a more uniform distribution of heat on the bottom of the pan. Cookware of all sizes
can be used above the dual control wok burner. For small pans it is recommended that only the inner burner is
used.
The knob situated below the symbol on the fascia panel operates the outer burner.
The knob situated below the symbol on the fascia panel operates the inner burner.
The two normal simmering burners on the right hand side of the hotplate are oval in form and can be turned
through 90°. This makes the hotplate more flexible in how it can be used.
For cooking fish or heating oval cookware use the two burners with their longest sides at 90° to the front of the
hotplate.
When using the griddle or for heating rectangular, square or large cookware use the two burners with their
longest sides parallel to the front of the hotplate.
For medium size cookware use any of the two burners in any orientation.
All pans should be placed centrally over the burners.
TO USE THE HOTPLATE
1. 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 spark lights the gas. When operating the dual
control burner there is a separate control knob for the inner and outer burners.
2. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting. Only turn the control knob between the large flame
symbol and the small flame symbol for adjusting the setting.
3. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the O position.
DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable.
DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.
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.
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner controls and do not attempt
to re-ignite the burners for at least 1 minute.
If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the top edge of the pan support fingers.
