Always use solid machined flat base pans to ensure the best contact
on the hotplate and subsequent heat transfer. Cast iron pans
usually work well.
Never use utensils with rough bases.
It is important that any spillage is dealt with before the
hob is used again, otherwise it may become baked on solid
and difficult to remove.
Always keep the hotplate cover down when the hob is not
in use to conserve energy.
OVEN STEAM VENTS
The 500-EL cooker incorporates oven steam vents in both the top
and lower oven.
The top and bottom oven steam vents are linked together and can
be adjusted by either opening or closing the top steam vent on the
top of the cooker.
Figure 12 shows the steam vent closed. When using the oven in
this method, condensation can form on the inside of the oven door
and run off when the door is opened.
