HOTPLATE
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 two high
speed burners and two simmering burners which will accommodate pans between
100mm (4) and 240mm (9 ½) diameter. 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. 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 3 seconds after the gas
has lit to allow the safety device to operate. If the
burner extinguishes when the control knob is released, repeat the procedure ensuring that the control knob is
fully depressed and allowing more time for the safety device to operate.
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.
