The hotplate has one large wok burner, one large burner, two medium burners and
one small burner. One model has two oval burners and the other has a dual zone
ceramic plate.
All hotplates will accommodate pans between 100mm (4") and 200mm (9") diameter.
The wok burner will accommodate pans up to 260mm (10") diameter. All pans should
be placed centrally over the burners.
It is essential that you use saucepans that are suitable for a ceramic hob.
ALWAYS USE:
● Good quality pans with smooth flat heavy bases.
● Saucepans manufactured from aluminium or stainless steel.
● Correct size pans - the base of the pan must cover the heating zone completely.
NEVER USE:
● Pans with thin, distorted or uneven bases - these would extend cooking
times, waste electricity and cause damaging local hot spots on the ceramic
surface.
● Pans with ridged or recessed bases.
● Pans with damaged or rough bases which could scratch the ceramic surface.
● Glass or ceramic glass utensils.
In order to keep your ceramic plate in good condition, follow these simple guidelines:
DO NOT...
- cook directly on the ceramic surface without a cooking utensil, as this will result in
damage to the surface of the hob.
- use the ceramic as a work surface as damage may occur to the smooth surface of
the hob.
- drag or slide utensils on the ceramic surface, as this will cause scratches.
- place anything between the utensil base and the ceramic surface, such as asbestos
mats or wok stands.
- leave any utensils, food or combustible items on the ceramic when it is not in use.
ALWAYS...
- ensure the bottom of the pan is clean and dry. Dirt or moisture between pan and
the ceramic can cause pitting of the ceramic surface.
- take extra care when cooking foods with high sugar content such as jam, as
spillage will cause damage to the surface of the ceramic.
- clean spills immediately.

Hotplate
DUAL CERAMIC PLATE (model EG1000EX only):
Warning: DO NOT use the hob if it is cracked. To avoid the risk of electric shock, switch
off the cooker at the main isolating switch and contact your nearest Service Office (see
Key Contacts, back page).
Heating only occurs within the zone marked on the hob. The heating zone has a safety cut
out which prevents the ceramic glass from overheating. After several minutes on full
power without a pan, the cut out will switch the heating element on and off to avoid any
damage to the ceramic glass.
The ceramic plate control is designed to provide variable heat control of either the full
oval of the plate or just the circular section. Turning the control knob clockwise will
switch on the full oval and turning the control knob anti-clockwise will switch on just the
circular zone.
