The hotplate lid is fitted with a safety device which cuts
off the gas supply to the hotplate burners unless the lid
is fully open. Do not use the safety device as a means
of controlling the hotplate burners.
The hotplate has two high speed burners and two
simmering burners which will accommodate pans
between 100mm (4”) and 240mm (91/2”) diameter. All
pans should be positioned centrally over the burners.
TO USE THE HOTPLATE

lid and then raise it to its fully open position.

Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting the
gas. To ensure rapid lighting of the burners every time
they are used, the ignitors must be kept
clean and dry
.
Remove any food spillage or cleaning materials from
the ignitor using a small nylon brush such as a tooth
brush. Access to the ignitor can be achieved by lifting
off the loose burner parts carefully when the burners
are cool.
When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are
removed for cleaning, be careful not to drop any food
particles or cleaning materials into the burner bases, to
avoid the possibility of blocking the gas jets.
If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit
may appear on the top edge of the pan support
fingers. See 'Cleaning and Maintenance’ section for
cleaning information.
