Operation

Electric hotplates

To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to the required heat setting.

The control knob is numbered 1 - 6

0 - OFF

1 - Minimum

6 - Maximum.

The hob has four hotplates:

Normal Hotplates

We recommend the plates are switched to maximum (6) for a short while to boost the plate, and then adjusted to the required setting.

Rapid Hotplates

The rapid hotplates are indicated by a red dot, and will heat up more quickly than a normal plate. As the red dots are painted on the plate, they may deteriorate during use and even disappear completely after a period of time. This will not affect the performance of

the hob.

It is important to note that the plate may smoke a little and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used for the first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after a few minutes.

Hints and Tips

Saucepans for use on solid plates should have several characteristics:

z They should be fairly heavy duty

z They should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly

larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.

z They should have a flat base to ensure good contact

with the plate. This is particularly important when using pans for high temperature frying or pressure cooking.

As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the plate control knob so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.

You can switch off the plate a short while before you finish cooking, and the final stage will be completed on the accumulated heat. Similarly, stews etc. cooked in well covered saucepans cook at lower temperature which is more economical.

Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being spilt onto the plates.

Never leave the plates on without a pan on them or with an empty pan on them.

Take care never to lean or reach over a hot electric plate. Always point pan handles inward or over the work surface next to the hob to avoid accidentally knocking over a pan as you pass by.

Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could easily ignite.

If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service Centre.

The Hotplates Control Light will come on each time a cooking zone is switched on.

Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are given in the following table.
