User manual

To operate the hotplates, turn the control

knob in either direction to vary the heat

setting. The highest number represents the

hottest setting and the lowest represents the

coolest setting.

Choose a setting appropriate to the quantity

and type of food to be cooked.

RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS

For speed and economy only good quality unpolished

saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are

recommended.

The saucepan base should cover the hotplate as

much as possible. A base diameter of up to 225mm

(9") may be used on a 180mm (7") hotplate.

Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc., should

comply with the recommendations given above.

HINTS AND TIPS

Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off

the hob to help to reduce scratches and

maintain the efficiency of the hotplates.

Avoid placing fish kettles or large preserving

pans across two hotplates as this may cause

damage.

Follow any guidelines provided by the

saucepan manufacturer, particularly those

relating to recommended heat settings.

To prolong the life of the hotplates:

Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket

Never use an asbestos mat

Never line the spillage tray with aluminium foil

Never leave the hotplates ON when not

covered with a saucepan.

DEEP FAT FRYING

SPECIAL FRYING NOTE:

For safety purposes when deep fat frying, fill the pan

one-third full of oil, DO NOT cover the pan with a lid

and DO NOT leave the pan unattended. In the

unfortunate event of a fire, switch OFF at the

electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or

damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames.

DO NOT use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool

for at least 30 minutes before moving it.

DO NOT leave the fat or oil in the frying pan on the

hob to store it in case the hob is inadvertently

switched ON.
