Instructions
Choice of hotplate
When choosing a hotplate, make sure to match the diameter of your pots and
pans with the heating potential of the hotplates. Using a pan that does not
properly fit the hotplate will result in poor heat transfer (Fig. 1).
Using the hotplates
Keep the following points in mind when choosing a hotplate for cooking.
• Try to match as closely as possible the diameter of your pots and pans
with the diameter of the hotplate. Using a pot with a small diameter on a
large hotplate will leave the hotplate exposed when it is hot; and cooking
food in a large pot on a small hotplate will take longer.
• Your pots and pans should have a flat bottom. Do not use pans with a
convex or recessed base.
• Make sure the base of your pot is dry before placing it on a hotplate.
• Do not lift up the pot lid unnecessarily during cooking to avoid depositing
moisture on the hotplate.
• Do not heat up the hotplates without pot or pan.

One of each size is a rapid hotplate (marked with a red dot), which heats up
faster than the normal hotplates.
