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
1
/2”) diameter. All pans
should be positioned centrally over the burners.

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.
