l
To operate the dual hotplate push in and turn
the control knob clockwise for the full area,
displaying a double line between the
numbers, or anticlockwise for the centre
section, with a single line between the
numbers.
l
The inner section is very economical when
cooking with small diameter saucepans.
l
For single hotplates, push in and turn the
control knob in either direction to vary the
heat setting. The highest number represents
the hottest setting and the lowest represents
the coolest setting. Choose a setting
appropriate to the quantity and type of food to
be cooked.
l
This model has the added feature of
Ceraglow hotplates which react more quickly
than other ceramic hotplates and are easily
identified by an instant red glow.
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS
For speed and economy only good quality
saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are
recommended. The saucepan base should be
approximately the same size as the cooking area, a
base diameter of up to 225mm (9") may be used on
a 180mm (7") heated area.
Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed to
remove edges and take off any deposits left from
manufacture.
Pressure cookers, preserving pans etc., should
comply with the recommendations given above.
Traditional round bottomed Woks must not be used
even with a stand. Woks with flat-bottomed bases
are available and do comply with the above
recommendations.
Pans made from pure copper or having a single layer
copper base are unsuitable due to the highly
reflective nature and concavity of the base.
Glass and ceramic pans are not recommended due
to their poor conduction of heat.
NOTE
Occasionally the heated areas may be seen to
switch ON and OFF when higher heat settings are
being used. This is due to a safety device which
prevents the glass from overheating. Some switching
ON and OFF when cooking at high temperatures,
e.g. deep fat frying is quite normal, causes no
damage to the hob and little delay in cooking times.
Excessive switching may however be caused by the
use of an unsuitable saucepan or a saucepan which
is smaller than the heated area. If excessive
switching occurs, discontinue use of the saucepan.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE COOKER IF THE CERAMIC GLASS IS DAMAGED. IF A FAULT OR CRACK
BECOMES VISIBLE DURING COOKING, DISCONNECT THE COOKER IMMEDIATELY FROM THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CONTACT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTRE.
