To operate the hotplates, turn the control knobs
clockwise from the OFF position to the required
setting.
The highest number represents the hottest
setting and the lowest number the coolest
setting. Choose a setting appropriate to the
quantity and type of food to be cooked.
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS
For speed and economy only good quality
saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are
recommended.
The saucepan base should cover the hotplate as
much as possible. A base diameter of up to 225mm
(9") may be used on a 180mm (7") hotplate.
Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc., should
comply with the recommendations given above.
Traditional round bottomed Woks must not be used
even with a stand. Woks with flat-bottomed bases
are available and do comply with the above
recommendations.
HINTS AND TIPS
Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the
hotplates. This will help to reduce scratches and
maintain the efficiency of the hotplate.
Avoid placing fish kettles or large preserving
pans across two hotplates as this may cause
damage.
Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan
manufacturer, particularly those relating to
recommended heat settings.
To prolong the life of the hotplates:-
Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket.
Never use an asbestos mat.
Never line the spillage tray with aluminium foil
Never leave the hotplates ON when not
covered with a saucepan.
DEEP FAT FRYING
SPECIAL FRYING NOTE:
For safety purposes when deep fat frying, fill the pan
one-third full of oil, DO NOT cover the pan with a lid
and DO NOT leave the pan unattended. In the
unfortunate event of a fire, switch the cooker OFF at
the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or
damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames.
DO NOT use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool
for at least 30 minutes before moving it.
DO NOT leave the fat or oil in the frying pan on the
hob to store it in case the hob is inadvertently
switched ON.
