l
To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in
either direction to vary the heat setting. The
highest number represents the hottest setting
and the lowest the coolest setting.
l
Choose a setting appropriate to the quantity and
type of food to be cooked.
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS
For speed and economy only good quality
saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are
recommended.
The saucepan base should cover the hotplate as
much as possible. A base diameter of up to 225mm
(9") may be used on a 180mm (7") hotplate.
Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc., should
comply with the recommendations given above.
HINTS AND TIPS
l
Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the
hob to help to reduce scratches and maintain the
efficiency of the hotplates.
l
Avoid placing fish kettles or large preserving
pans across the two hotplates as this may
cause damage.
l
Follow any guidelines provided by the
saucepan manufacturer.
l
To prolong the life of the hotplates:-
l
Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket
l
Never use an asbestos mat
l
Never line the spillage tray with aluminium
