Using the hotplate
Ensure the electricity is switched on.
The hotplate control is numbered from 1 to 6.
To turn it on, rotate the knob either clockwise
or anti-clockwise to the required position.
Position 1 is the coolest setting. To turn the
hotplate off, rotate the knob until the line or
pointer on the knob lines up with the zero on
the control panel.
The hotplate is a sealed construction and
transfers heat through conduction. For
maximum efficiency a correctly sized pan with
a flat heavy gauge base should be used. Pan
size should be the same or slightly larger (up to
1”/2.5cm oversize).
Before using your hotplate for the first time, we
recommend that you prime and then season it.
To prime the Hotplate
Switch on the hotplate for a short period,
without a pan, to harden and burn off the
coating. Use a medium to high setting for 3 - 5
minutes. A non toxic smoke may occur during
this process. Allow it to cool, then season.
To season the Hotplate
First heat the hotplate for 30 seconds on
a medium setting, then switch off. Pour a
minimal amount of unsalted vegetable oil onto
a clean dry cloth or paper towel, and apply a
thin coat of oil to the hotplate surface. Wipe
off any excess oil, then heat the hotplate on
a medium setting for 1 minute. Occasional
seasoning will help to maintain the Hotplate’s
appearance.
Using the grill
!
WARNING:
The grill must only be used
with the door open. The heat deflector
below the fascia should be pulled out
prior to lighting the grill. Never adjust the
heat deflector position without using hand
protection i.e. oven gloves.
1. Ensure gas cylinder/supply is connected
and turned on. In the event of a gas smell
turn off at gas cylinder/mains and contact
supplier.
2. To light: Open door, push in the control
knob and turn to full rate - see Fig 2.
Hold alighted match or taper to the burner
and push the control knob in and hold.
The burner should ignite and the control
knob should be held in for 10-15 seconds
before release. If the burner goes out, repeat
procedure holding control knob for slightly
longer.
3. For models fitted with spark ignition the
procedure is similar except that the burner
can be ignited by depressing the ignition
button, which is located on the fascia.
Ignition must be carried out with the door
open, and if the burner has not lit within
15 seconds the control knob should be
released and the grill left for at least 1
minute before a further attempt to ignite the
burner.
4. On first use of the grill, it should be heated
for about 20 minutes to eliminate any
residual factory lubricants that might impart
unpleasant smells to the food being cooked.
An non-toxic smoke may occur when using
for the first time so open any windows
and turn on mechanical ventilators to help
remove the smoke.
5. Although the grill does heat up quickly, it is
recommended that a few minutes pre-heat
be allowed.
6. Flame Failure Device (FFD): The grill burner
is fitted with a flame sensing probe, which
will automatically cut off the gas supply
in the event of the flame going out. In the
event of the burner flames accidentally
being extinguished, turn off the burner
control and do not attempt to re-ignite the
burner for at least one minute.
7. It is normal for the flames on this burner
to develop yellow tips as it heats up,
particularly on Butane.
8. A reversible grill pan trivet enables the
correct grilling height to be achieved.
