SECTION 1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This manual covers the operation of the following units. These are Chieftain Heavy duty appliances.
E1006 Range with Three Solid Hotplates
E1016 General Purpose Oven (Single Tier)
E1016/2 General Purpose Oven (Double Tier)
E1026 Boiling Table with Three Solid Hotplates
The hob is constructed of cast iron. The hotplates are controlled by six position rotary switches.
The oven has a cubic capacity of 136 litres (gross)/ 108 litres (nett) with a drop down door. Two
non-tilt shelves are included which will accommodate two 1/1 size gastronorm containers per shelf.
All appliances are mounted on adjustable feet with shrouds.
SECTION 2 - CONTROLS and OPERATION
Hotplate
The hotplate arrangement consists of three rectangular hotplates, each controlled by a six-heat
switch. This controls variable temperatures from 1 (the lowest) progressively increasing to 6 (the
highest). The neons at the top of the control panel indicate which hotplate is ON.
The requisite setting for simmering pots of various sizes will quickly be found by experience. For
efficient operation of the hotplates it is essential that there should be intimate contact between the
hotplate and the utensil. Ground base pans should be used and the plate surface should be clean
and in good condition.
Spillage should not be allowed to accumulate around the edges of the hotplates. It will burn on and
become difficult to remove.
There is a pull out spillage tray beneath the hotplates and this is readily withdrawn for emptying and
cleaning when the unit is cool.
Important
To ensure long life of the hotplates and to conserve electricity, DO NOT LEAVE
THE HOTPLATES SWITCHED ON WHEN NOT IN USE, particularly at high
settings.
If for any reason it is considered necessary to maintain a hotplate hot when not being used, turn the
control to a low setting, say 2 or 3.
Oven
The oven is controlled by means of a thermostat, located at the top of the RH control panel. There
are two neons, RED indicates that the mains electricity to the unit is ON and AMBER illuminates
when the thermostat is switched on and the oven is heating up.
When the oven is at the selected temperature the AMBER light will go out.
