The sealed hotplates
Before using the hotplates for
the first time
Turn the control knob to a high setting and
allow the hotplate to heat, uncovered by a
saucepan for 3-5 minutes. This hardens the
protective coating on the hotplates and
makes it more resistant to normal use. A
harmless smoke will be given off from the
hotplates
Using the hob
• Turn the control knob in either direction
to vary the heat setting.
• The highest number represents the
hottest setting and the lowest number
represents the coolest setting.
Recommended saucepans
Only saucepans with flat bases and close
fitting lids are recommended. The saucepan
base should be approximately the same size
as the cooking area. Ensure that new
saucepans are well scrubbed to remove
edges and take off any deposits left from
manufacture.
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 hob to help reduce scratches and
maintain the efficiency of the hotplates.
• Avoid the use of decorative covers as
they can cause condensation to form on
the hotplates which may lead to
deterioration.
• Follow any guidelines provided by the
saucepan manufacturer, particularly
those relating to recommended heat
settings.
• Avoid using thin, badly dented or
distorted saucepans. Those with uneven
bases should not be used.
• Never leave the hotplates ON when not
covered with a saucepan.
• Ensure that the hob and saucepans are
clean and dry before the start of cooking
to reduce cleaning.
• Follow the cleaning instructions very
closely to keep the hob looking like new.
