USING THE ELECTRIC HOB

USING THE HOT PLATES

The Hotplate may have two different types of hot plates; rapid
action plate compared with the standard one, offers the advantage
of faster heating and more power for faster cooking The hot plates
operate at a fixed setting according to the position selected on
the control knob. To switch on, turn the appropriate control knob
to the required setting (setting 6 operates at full rate). To switch
off, turn the control knob to the OFF position (marked • ). The
electric plate working is indicated by a warning light on the control
panel. Turn the appropriate control knob clockwise to the required
setting according to the cooking task. The following table may be
used as a guide for settings.

2 - Low Stews, milk pudding, cream sauces, fried

eggs.
3 - Low-medium Stewed fruit, frozen foods, boiling milk.
4 - Medium Boiled potatoes, fresh vegetables soups, fish.

WARNING

Always use pans with a flat base to ensure even contact with the
hotplate. The correct size of pan should be used so that the whole
of the hot plate is covered. Never switch on the hotplates without
a pan in position, as the hot plate will become distorted. To ensure
even contact and to prolong the life of hot plates, the base of the
pans should be kept clean and dry. Do not use “split pans” as
uneven heating of the hot plates will occur. For safety, keep
saucepan handles turned to a safe position so that they are out
