SOLID HOTPLATE
(Where fitted)
It is most important that the sealed
hotplate is kept clean and correctly
conditioned. If spillage occurs clean off
immediately after the hotplate has
cooled and warm hotplate for
approximately 30 seconds to dry
surface. At weekly intervals clean
hotplate with a nylon scouring pad and
soap. Use a damp cloth to wipe clean
and warm hotplate as described
previously.
Never use asbestos mats, wire mats or
grids, aluminium foil, woks or similar
utensils on the hotplate as it can lead to
overheating and permanent damage.
SERVICE
If a fault develops in your hotplate,
please check the points listed in Table
1.0 before calling for service as it may
be possible to avoid a service call and
therefore keep the appliance in use.
