Installation Manual

OPERATION

• 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.

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” / 2.5 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

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.

• 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.
