HOTPLATE USE
The hotplate can be used in a similar manner to conventional electric
oven hobs to fry and boil food. The hotplate is suitable for pans up to
a maximum of 18cm and 3litre capacity and should be used for
cooking intervals of less than one hour.
1.
Unpack and dispose of all packaging safely.
2.
Place the hotplate on a stable, flat, heat resistant surface and
away from any flammable materials. Check that the control knob
is in the off (0) position.
3.
Fully unwind the cable and plug in. For safety do not allow the
cable to dangle over the edge of units.
4.
Turn the control knob and select the desired hotplate power. 1
is the lowest setting suitable for keeping a pot at a simmer. 5 is
the highest setting suitable for use when bringing a pot to a boil
or when using a large pan.
5.
The hotplate indicator will
illuminate
when the hotplate is in
heating mode and
extinguish
when it has reached the desired
temperature. It is usual for the indicator to switch on and off
during the hotplate use.
6.
Place the food into a vessel suitable for an electric hob and fry or
cook as required by your recipe.
7.
To switch off the hotplate, turning the control knob to the off (0)
position or switch off at the mains. The hotplate indicator will
extinguish.
Notes:
Some smoke or odour may be emitted when the hotplate is first
used. To eliminate any manufacturing residues, open the room
window, place a saucepan of water on the hotplate and operate
at the maximum setting for 10 minutes. Clean the hotplate in
accordance with the cleaning section of these instructions.
Some discolouration of the paint surrounding the hob may occur
after prolonged use. This is normal and is due to the high
temperature generated by the hob and may be exacerbated by
using oversized pans.
