OPERATION
Using the Electric Hotplate
Ensure the electricity is switched on.
The hotplate control is numbered from 1 to 6.
To turn it on, rotate the knob either clockwise or
anti-clockwise to the required position. Position
1 is the coolest setting.
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 a correctly sized pan with a
flat heavy gauge base should be used. Pan size
should be the same or slightly larger (up to 1” /
2.5cm 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
First 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 Hotplate’s appearance.
WARNING
• Glass lids may shatter when heated. Turn
off the hotplate and allow it to cool before
closing the glass lid.
• Remove all spillage from the surface of the
glass lid before opening.
• The glass lid has the tendency to snap shut
towards the end of lowering.
This is caused by the travel lock action of
the hinges as it is activated.
Make sure all fingers are removed from
appliance when closing the lid.
IMPORTANT
• Depending on specification, your appliance
may be fitted with a glass lid shut-off system,
which cuts off the power to all hotplate
burners (gas and electric) if the lid is closed.
• Ensure the glass lid is in the open and upright
position before turning on the hotplate
burners.
• Not all models are fitted with the shut-off
system.
