Solid plates
Danger of fire: Do not store items
on the cooking surface.
CAUTION: The cooking process
has to be supervised. A short
term cooking process has to be
supervised continuously.
WARNING: Unattended cooking
on a hob with fat or oil can be
dangerous and may result in a
fire.
Caring for Solid Plates
•
Before using the plates for the first time,
switch them on for about 4 minutes at the
highest setting. This allows the factory
applied protective coating to burn in.
•
To prevent blotchy discolouration and
corrosion, moisture from spatters and
spills should be cleaned off immediately.
•
To clean the plates, wipe them with a
damp cloth or nylon pad. A little liquid
detergent may be used. Do not use metal
scourers or sharp metal objects to clean
the plates.
•
After cleaning, dry the plates by switching
them on for a short while.
•
To prevent rust, periodically apply some,
sewing machine oil or electrical hotplate
polish - available from Defy Service
Centres. Extra attention is required in
areas of high humidity or in close
proximity to the sea.
Recommendations
•
Use only pots with a solid level base. An
uneven base can prolong cooking times
and waste energy.
•
Use pots with a base diameter slightly
larger than the plate. This will ensure
even heat distribution and prevent spillage
from dripping onto and staining the hot
plate.
•
Always cover the pot with a lid. This will
conserve energy and minimise spillage.
•
Thermal shock could damage the plates.
Do not put cold pots on very hot plates.
Plate controls—variable
