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. 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 sparks light the gas.
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. See
‚Care and Cleaning’ section for cleaning information.
Models with Hob Gas Burner Safety Devices to Prevent Leaks *
These models can be identified by the presence of the device itself.
! Since the hob burners are equipped with a safety device, you must hold the control knob in for about 3-7 seconds
after the burner has been lighted to allow the gas to pass until the safety thermocouple has heated.
