REMEMBER:
Solid plates retain their heat for a consi-
derable time after switching off.
Always allow the plate to cool before
cleaning or touching the plate for any
other reason.
BOILING AND SIMMERING:
Boiling and simmering can be carried out
on any of the four plates.
FRYING:
Generally frying is carried out on the
larger plates. It is important not to leave
frying unattended even for a short while.
Do not use a chip-pan more than one
third full of fat or oil.
The hob is made of steel coated with a
vitreous enamel to provide a durable and
attractive surface. There are four solid
plates clamped to the surface of the hob.
All have a fixed stainless steel ring which
may discolour slightly after the plate is
first used. This is normal.
ELECTRIC PLATES:
The higher the number set on the control
knob, the higher the temperature that will
be maintained on the plate.
Each plate has seven working positions
marked on the control knob (Fig. 6):
- Position
0
Off
- Positions
1 - 6
