Operation

Electric Hotplates

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

The control knob is numbered 0 - 6 0 - OFF 1 - Minimum 6 - Maximum. The hob has two types of hotplates:

Normal Hotplates (Back right and left)

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 (Front right and left)

The rapid hotplates indicated by a red spot, will heat up more quickly than a normal plate.

Over a period of time the red spot may

disappear, this will not affect the performance of the hotplate.

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.

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

OFF 0

Very Gentle 1 To keep food warm

To melt butter and chocolate

Gentle 2 To prepare cream-sauces,

stews and milk puddings or to fry eggs

Slow 3 Dried vegetables, frozen

food, fruit, boiling water or milk

Medium 4 Boiled potatoes, fresh

vegetables, pâtés, soups, broths, pancakes or fish

High 5 Larger stews, meat roll, fish,

omelettes, steaks

Fast 6 Steaks, escalopes and frying.

Hints and Tips

Saucepans for use on solid plates should have several characteristics:

● They should be fairly heavy duty

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

larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.

● 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 split 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 Tricity Bendix Service Centre.
