USING THE HOTPLATES OF YOUR ELECTRIC COOKER
Check the hotplates on your cooker against the diagrams below before you use your cooker for the first time.
Solid hotplates
• The strong solid-cast hotplates give wide contact for fast, efficient cooking.
• The hotplates are sealed all around which means that spilt liquids do not go under the hotplates.
NOTE: The stainless steel ring will tarnish with use.
Before first use
• The top surface of the hotplates are sealed with a heat resistant coating. Before using for the first time the hotplates
should be heated for a short period without a pan to harden the protective coating.
• Turn the heat setting to high for approx 3 minutes to fully harden the coating. When the hotplates have cooled apply
a thin coating of cooking oil to the hotplate to seal and protect the surface.
• After switching off, this light will continue to glow until the temperature of the hotplate drops below 60°C
