OPERATION
GENERAL OPERATIONAL NOTES
Carefully read the description of the hotplate operation on the
specification sheet.
DO NOT attempt to perform any maintenance or service unless the
hotplate is disconnected from electrical power.
DO turn the circuit breaker for the hotplate off before cleaning,
servicing or performing any maintenance.
DO NOT use sharp objects or metal implements to clean the heating
element(s).
DO use a plastic spatula or plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on
food product.
OPERATION
Each heating element is controlled by an infinite switch
temperature
control:
OFF removes power from the element
LOW thru 8 are temperature settings
Higher numbers indicate higher temperatures
There is a continuous range of settings between LOW and HI
HI is a continuous ON setting
The indicator light will glow any time the temperature control is on.
Cooking Recommendations:
Save energy by turning the temperature control off any time the
hotplate is not in use. The coil-type heating elements will provide full
heat within 30 seconds, while french plate heating elements will reach
full heat within 2 minutes, making it unnecessary to leave the unit on
during intermittent use.
Each heating element can hold up to a 16 quart pot or pan. For
efficient heating of food product, pots and pans should be no more
than 10” in diameter.
Maximize the efficiency of solid (french plate) elements by using flat-
bottom pots and pans.
Stir thick liquids frequently to maintain a consistent temperature.
CAUTION:
HOT SURFACES
Exposed surfaces can be hot
to the touch and may cause
burns.
IMPORTANT:
The dial markings are an
INDICATION of temperature
only. The temperature of the
food product depends on many
factors, including the size,
shape and material of the food
container, and the quantity and
consistency of the food
product.
