GENERAL OPERATIONAL NOTES
DO NOT use sharp objects or metal implements to clean the heating
elements.
DO use a plastic spatula or plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on
food product.
OPERATION
Each heating element is controlled by an infinite switch
temperature control:
OFF removes power from the element
LOW thru 8 are temperature settings
Higher numbers indicate higher temperatures
There is a continuous range of settings between LOW and HI
HI is a continuous ON setting
The indicator light will glow any time the temperature control is on.
COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS:
Save energy by turning the temperature control off any time the
hotplate is not in use. Spiral heating elements will provide full heat
within 30 seconds, while solid plate heating elements will reach full
heat within 2 minutes, making it unnecessary to leave the unit on
during intermittent use.
Each heating element can hold up to a 16 quart pot or pan. For
efficient heating of food product, pots and pans should be no more
than 10” in diameter.
Maximize the efficiency of solid elements and ceramic cooktops by
using flat-bottom pots and pans.
Stir thick liquids frequently to maintain a consistent temperature.
HOTPLATE OPERATION

INDICATION of temperature
only. The temperature of the
food product depends on
many factors, including the
size, shape and material of
the food container, and the
quantity and consistency of
the food product.
