HOTPLATE
Cookers fitted with a hotplate lid have a device that will cut off the gas supply to the
hotplate burners unless the lid is fully open. Also each burner is fitted with a safety
device that will cut off the gas supply to it, if the flame is extinguished for any reason.
The hotplate has two high speed burners and two simmering burners. The hotplate
will accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and 230mm (9”) diameter. All pans
should be positioned 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 push in
the control knob for a further 5 seconds after the flame has lit to allow time
for the safety device to operate.
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 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 (if fitted) 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 possi-
bility 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.
RELIGHTING THE BURNER
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the
burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.
