Butane - Normally on initial lighting, a small amount of yellow tipping will occur and then slightly increases
as the burner heats up.
Care should be taken not to overload the appliance as reduced performance may result.
When using small pans, the flames should not spread beyond the base of the pan as this will reduce
the efficiency of the burner.
3.5.2 ELECTRIC HOTPLATE
(1) Ensure the electricity is switched on.
(2) The hotplate control is numbered from 1 (Low) to 6 (High). To turn it on, rotate the knob either
clockwise or anti-clockwise to the required position.
(3) To turn the hotplate off, rotate the knob until the line or pointer on the knob lines up with the zero on
the control panel.
The hotplate is a sealed construction and transfers heat through conduction. For maximum efficiency
use the correct size pan with a flat heavy gauge base. The pan size should be the same or slightly
larger than the hotplate (up to 1" / 2.5 cm oversize).
Before using your hotplate for the first time, we recommend that you prime and then season it.
To prime the hotplate:-
Switch on the hotplate for a short period, without a pan, to harden and burn off the coating. Use a
medium to high setting for 3 - 5 minutes. A non toxic smoke may occur during this process. Allow it to
cool, then season.
To season the hotplate:-
Heat the hotplate for 30 seconds on a medium setting, then switch off. Pour a minimal amount of
unsalted vegetable oil onto a clean dry cloth or paper towel, and apply a thin coat of oil to the hotplate
surface. Wipe off any excess oil, then heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 1 minute. Occasional
seasoning will help to maintain the appearance.
