CONTROL DESCRIPTION
This appliance utilises a hotplate that is able to
heat either the left side, right side or both sides
during operation. The three elements heating
the hotplate are split so that the left thermostat
controls the 2 left elements, and the right
thermostat controls the element on the right
hand side.
Both thermostats have a maximum temperature
of 290
C as seen below.
The primary ON/OFF switch is located on the
lower control panel which, when turned in the
“ON” position, will illuminate the green pilot
light located on the upper display panel and
signal that the unit is operational.
While the green pilot light will be constantly
illuminated during operation of this appliance,
the 2 orange pilot lights connected to either the
left or right hand side controls will cycle on/off
as the thermostat supplies power to the
elements to maintain the predetermined
temperature.
The Cook/Idle Switch allows you to quickly
switch between 2 predetermined temperatures
set by the lower thermostat.
Each thermostat clearly labels which operating
“zone” it controls, and matches up with the
relevant Cook/Idle Switch.
COOKING/HEATING ZONES
As previously mentioned, the hotplate is not
split evenly, with the left hand side elements
heating 2/3
rd
of the hotplate and the right hand
side elements heating the remaining 1/3
rd
(as
seen in the pictorial below).
The hotplate is designed in such a way that heat
pools in the centre of the hotplate, with the
front and rear corners being comparatively
cooler. This allows the user to balance the
cooking times of multiple products/foods that
require different temperatures or times to cook.
