Using the hotplate
•
Commercial simmering aids
should not be used as they create
excessive temperatures that can
damage the surface and may
cause a hazard.
•
Do not place aluminium foil or
plastic utensils on the ceramic
glass, as they may melt and
damage the surface.
•
Do not use the ceramic glass
hotplate surface for storage.
•
When cooking with fat or oil,
never leave unattended.
•
Turn pan handles to a safe position,
so they are out of reach of children,
not overhanging the appliance, and
cannot be caught accidentally.
•
Position pans over the centre of the
hotplate elements.
•
Do not use the hob as a chopping
board or a storage area, as this
increases the likelihood of it being
damaged - eg; plastic utensils
placed on a warm hob may melt
onto it, and damage the ceramic
glass surface.
•
Aluminium foil must not be placed
on the hob as it will reflect any
heat back into the element, which
can damage it.
•
Leaving a hotplate on for a length
of time, without it being covered
by a pan, causes overheating of
surrounding areas which could
damage the glass.
•
Be careful when cooking foods in
salted water, or foods containing
large amounts of sugar, syrup or
jam - if they are spilt onto hot areas
of the hob they may damage it.
•
Lift pans onto and off the surface,
rather than sliding them across the
surface, to avoid marks and
scratches.
•
If you use a wet paper towel to
remove spills from a warm heating
area of the hob, be careful to
avoid steam burns.
•
Do not use abrasive powder
cleaners, metal wire wool pads,
impregnated plastic pads, detergents,
bleaches, bath stain removers, or
chemical oven cleaners; all these
types of products will damage the
ceramic glass.
