The hotplate lid is fitted with a safety device which
cuts off the gas supply to the hotplate burners
unless the lid is fully open. Do not use the safety
device as a means of controlling the hotplate
burners.
The hotplate has two high speed burners and two
simmering burners which will accommodate pans
between 100mm (4") and 240mm (91/2") diameter.
All pans should be positioned centrally over the
burners.
TO USE THE HOTPLATE
1. Remove any items or spillage from the top of the
lid and then raise it to its fully open position.
2. Push in and turn the control knob of the chosen
burner anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol.
Continue to press the ignition button* until the sparks
light the gas.
3. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to reduce the
heat input. Only turn the control knob between the
large flame symbol and the small flame symbol
when adjusting the setting.

DO NOT
use the hotplate unless all pan supports
are in position.
DO NOT
use mis-shapen pans which may be
unstable.
DO NOT
use round base woks directly on the pan
supports.
DO NOT
use the glass lid as a working surface.
Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting
the gas. To ensure rapid lighting of the burners
every time they are used, the ignitors must be kept
clean and dry
. Remove any food spillage or
cleaning materials from the ignitor using a small
nylon brush such as a tooth brush. Access to the
ignitor can be achieved by lifting off the loose burner
parts carefully when the burners are cool.
When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are
removed for cleaning, be careful not to drop any
food particles or cleaning materials into the burner
bases, to avoid the possibility of blocking the gas
jets.
If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit
may appear on the top edge of the pan support
fingers. See 'Care and Cleaning' section for cleaning
information.
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING
1. Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil
or fat.
2. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating
or cooling period.
3. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.
4. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower
it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in
particular will cause frothing and spitting if added
too quickly.
5. Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free
from streaks of oil or fat.
HOW TO DEAL WITH A FAT FIRE
1.
Do not
move the pan.
2. Turn off the hotplate burners.
3. Smother the flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth
to extinguish the fire.
Do not
use water or a fire
extinguisher as the force of it may spread the
burning fat or oil over the edge of the pan.
4. Leave the pan for at least 60 minutes before moving
it.
