OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Hobcooker is unique in its burner design and layout. It is fitted with the ultra hi-speed
burners and one boiling burner. Whilst all three burners perform as general utility burner
the two outside burners are specifically designed for WOK COOKING. They deliver up to
one and a half times the flame heat and spread compared to normal hi-speed burners. All
burners retain normal simmer cooking facilities.
The widely spaced positioning of the burners allows for the use of large woks.
IGNITION
This hotplate is equipped with electronic ignition to each of the three burners and is
operated by depressing the individual control knob and turning it a quarter turn anti-
clockwise.
CONTROLS
The Hobcooker has the control knobs which are situated at the front of the glass plate.
An indicator motif advises which knob controls each burner. The ‘full-on’ and pre-set
‘simmer’ positions are indicated by a large and small flame graphic on the glass plate next
to each individual control knob.
BURNER OPERATION
1. Depress the required control knob anti-clockwise to the FULL-ON position.
2. When the burner has ignited, adjust the control knob to the required setting. Flame
adjustment is achieved by rotating the control knob further in an anti-clockwise fashion
towards the pre-set simmer position.

CLEANING
-
Allow the Hobcooker to cool before attempting to dismantle or clean it. The glass
plate is best cleaned with a cloth, using warm soapy water. Use of abrasive powders
and pastes should be avoided as far as possible, but when necessary use only a mild
abrasive. For removal of hardened grease, very fine steel wool, wetted and liberally
soaped, can be used.
-
Caustic solutions, washing soda, aerosol spray cleaners, bleach and some biological
cleaners are detrimental to some surface finishes and care must be taken not to apply
them to the burner bodies and caps.
-
Do not wash burner caps in a dishwasher.
-
For ease of cleaning, remove spillage from the bowls as soon as possible. Control
knobs may be pulled off for cleaning beneath them, but take care not to allow water to
enter the holes in the glass plate.
-
When re-assembling the spillage bowl always ensure that it is correctly located over
the spark electrode. Care should be taken to keep the electrode clean and avoid
damage to the porcelain insulator when removing the spillage bowl during cleaning.
