To operate the dual hotplate turn the control
knob clockwise for the full area, or anticlockwise
for the centre section.
The inner section is very economical when
cooking with small diameter saucepans.
For single hotplates, turn the control knob in
either direction to vary the heat 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.
This model has the added feature of Ceraglow
hotplates which react more quickly than other
ceramic hotplates and are easily identified by
their rapid red glow.
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS
For speed and economy only good quality saucepans
with flat bases and close fitting lids are recommended.
The saucepan base should be approximately the same
size as the cooking area, a base diameter of up to
225mm (9") may be used on a 180mm (7") heated
area.
Pressure cookers, preserving pans etc., should
comply with the recommendations given above.
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.
NOTE
Occasionally the heated areas may be seen to switch
ON and OFF when higher heat settings are being used.
This is due to a safety device which prevents the glass
from overheating. Some switching ON and OFF when
cooking at high temperatures, e.g. deep fat frying is
quite normal, causes no damage to the hob and little
delay in cooking times.
Excessive switching may however be caused by the
use of an unsuitable saucepan or a saucepan which is
smaller than the heated area. If excessive switching
occurs, discontinue use of the saucepan.
THE CERAMIC HOB
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE COOKER IF THE CERAMIC GLASS IS DAMAGED. IF A FAULT OR CRACK
BECOMES VISIBLE DURING COOKING, DISCONNECT THE COOKER IMMEDIATELY FROM THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CONTACT YOUR LOCAL SERVICE FORCE CENTRE.
