How to use your hot plate
Before using your Hot Plate for the first time. turn the Hot Plate on the highest setting
for 3 to 5 minutes to condition the protective coating. This may initially result in some
excess smoke, but this is normal. This should be the only time the Hot Plate is turned
on without a cooking utensil on it.
For the most efficient operation of your Hot Plate the cooking utensils used should have
a solid base and be as even as possible, and a diameter of approx. 16 to 18cm and a
maximum capacity of 1 lt r (1000W hot plate).
The base diameter of cooking utensils smaller than the diameter of the Hot Plate
should not be used.
Extra care should be taken using cooking utensils that project beyond the Hot Plate and
should NOT intrude into the area of close proximity of the controls.
Utensils with convex, concave or uneven bottoms should not be used. NO items other
than the cooking utensils should come into contact of the Hot Plate for long periods.
Operation of control dial
Turn the controls to the recommended position marked to achieve the desired
temperature. Use this guide as a reference.
IMPORTANT:
When not in use always turn controls to the "OFF" position and disconnect
from the power outlet.
