Hotpoint EG1000GX Cooktop User Manual


 
A non-stick griddle is supplied for use over the two oval burners at the front of
the hob or the two medium burners at the rear.
The griddle is made of cast iron and the surface is covered with a special non-
stick finish. To protect the non-stick coating never use metal cooking utensils
as they may scratch the surface. Wooden or heat resistant plastic utensils may
be used. Do not use saucepans on the griddle plate.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST THE GRIDDLE PLATE BE USED OVER ANY
OTHER HOTPLATE BURNERS.
USE OF THE GRIDDLE
The griddle may be used with either or both of the burners on, depending on the
food being cooked.
1. Secure the griddle above the two simmer burners, making sure that
the support feet are located correctly on the pan support fingers.
2. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob(s)
of the burners anticlockwise to the large flame symbol.
Continue to press the ignition button until the spark lights the gas.
Preheat the griddle plate for approximately four minutes.
3. Place the food directly on the griddle plate. However when cooking drier
foods eg. drop scones the griddle plate can be lightly greased.
4. The controls can be left at high for the sealing of foods or turned down
to a lower heat setting depending on what food is being cooked.
NB. A gentle heat is all that is required for the majority of griddling.
Once the griddle plate is up to temperature it maintains the cooking
temperature on a medium/low setting.
5. Cook the food for the required time, which will depend on the type of
food being cooked.
6. To turn off, push in and turn the control knob(s) fully clockwise to the O.
position.
7. Allow the griddle plate to cool before cleaning.
In the event of the burner not lighting straight away or the flames being
accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner controls and do not attempt to
re-ignite the burners for at least 1 minute.
