window or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour
avoid any fumes.It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the
smell has ceased. This odour is due to any temporary finish and also any moisture
absorbed by the insulation.

HOTPLATE
The hotplate lid is fitted with a safety device which cuts off the gas supply to the
hotplate burners unless the lid is fully open. Do not use the safety device as a means of
controlling the hotplate burners.
The hotplate has two high speed burners and two simmering burners which will
accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and 230mm (9”) diameter. All pans should be
positioned centrally over the burners.
TO USE THE HOTPLATE
1. Remove any items or spillage from the top of the lid and then raise it to its
fully open position.
2. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob of the
chosen burner anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to press
the ignition button until the sparks light the gas.
3. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting.
Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the small
flame symbol for adjusting the setting.
4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol O.
DO NOT use the hotplate unless all pan supports are in position.
DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable.
DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.
DO NOT use the glass lid as a working surface.
Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting the gas.To ensure rapid lighting of
the burners every time they are used, the ignitors must be kept clean and dry. Remove
any food spillage or cleaning materials from the ignitor using a small nylon brush such
as a tooth brush. Access to the ignitor can be achieved by lifting off the loose burner
parts carefully when the burners are cool.
When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are removed for cleaning, be careful not to
drop any food particles or cleaning materials into the burner bases, to avoid the
possibility of blocking the gas jets.
If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the top edge of the
pan support fingers. See ‘Care and Cleaning’section for cleaning information.
When the hotplate burners are turned down, a slight ‘popping’noise may be heard.This
is perfectly normal.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING
1. Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil or fat.
2. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooling period.
3. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.
4. Always dry food thoroughly before frying,and lower it slowly into the
hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in particular will cause frothing and spitting if
added too quickly.
5. Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or
fat.
HOW TO DEAL WITH A FAT FIRE
1. Do not move the pan.
2. Turn off the hotplate burners.
3. Smother the flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth to extinguish the
fire. Do not use water or a fire extinguisher as the force of it may
spread the burning fat or oil over the edge of the pan.
4. Leave the pan for at least 60 minutes before moving it.
