USING THE HOTPLATES
OF YOUR COOKER
Ceramic hotplates
• DO NOT use if the ceramic glass top is cracked or broken.
• DO NOT leave aluminium foil on the hot ceramic hotplates (permanent damage will occur)
NOTE:
Stored heat in the hotplate can be used for the last few minutes of cooking. Simply turn off the
control.
Choosing Cooking Pots
• Look at this diagram below which shows you which cooking pot and pans to use on the hotplates and
which ones that should not be used.
• After switching off, this light will continue to glow until the temperature of the hotplate drops below 60°C
Hotplates safety warnings
• Do not use pots and pans which are unsteady, as these could overbalance.
• Do not use mats, heat diffusers or wok stands. These will cause a temperature build-up which can damage
the cook top.
• DO NOT turn on hotplates if there is no pot or pan on hotplate or if they do not contain food or liquids in
them.
• Do not let cooking pots overhang sides or front of hob get too close to the hotplate control knobs.
Choosing cooking pots and pans
Look at this diagram below which shows you which utensils to use on the hotplates and which utensils should
not be used.
• Always use pots and pans with flat bottoms. Uneven or thin bottoms will waste energy and cook slowly.
• Always use pots and pans which are slightly larger than the hotplate. Small pans waste energy.
• Always put dry pots and pans on the hotplates.
• Do not use pots and pans which are too large. Pans which overhang the hotplate more than 50mm can
damage the hob.
• Always use pots and pans with flat bottoms.
