OPERATION 
GENERAL OPERATIONAL NOTES 
Carefully read the description of the hotplate operation on the 
specification sheet. 
DO NOT attempt to perform any maintenance or service unless the 
hotplate is unplugged or disconnected from electrical power. 
DO unplug the hotplate from electrical power or turn the circuit 
breaker off before cleaning, servicing. 
DO NOT use sharp objects or metal implements to clean the heating 
element(s). 
DO use a plastic spatula or plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on 
food product. 
OPERATION 
Each heating element is controlled by an infinite switch 
temperature control: 
  OFF removes power from the element 
  LOW thru 8 are temperature settings 
    Higher numbers indicate higher temperatures 
    There is a continuous range of settings between LOW   
 and HI 
  HI is a continuous ON setting 
The indicator light will glow any time the temperature control is on. 
Cooking Recommendations: 
Save energy by turning the temperature control off any time the 
hotplate is not in use. The heating elements will provide full heat 
within 30 seconds, making it unnecessary to leave the unit on during 
intermittent use. 
Each heating element can hold up to a 16 quart pot or pan. 
Maximize the efficiency of solid (french plate) elements by using 
flat-bottom pots and pans. 
CAUTION: 
Hot Surface 
Exposed surfaces 
can be hot to the touch 
and may cause burns.

The indicator light will glow any time the temperature control is on. 
Cooking Recommendations: 
Save energy by turning the temperature control off any time the 
hotplate is not in use. The coil-type heating elements will provide full 
heat within 30 seconds, while french plate heating elements will reach 
full heat within 2 minutes, making it unnecessary to leave the unit on 
during intermittent use. 
Each heating element can hold up to a 16 quart pot or pan. For 
efficient heating of food product, pots and pans should be no more 
than 10” in diameter. 
Maximize the efficiency of solid (french plate) elements by using 
flat-bottom pots and pans. 
Stir thick liquids frequently to maintain a consistent temperature. 
CAUTION: 
HOT SURFACE 
Exposed surfaces 
can be hot to the touch 
and may cause burns.

IMPORTANT: 
The dial markings are an 
INDICATION of temperature 
only. The temperature of the 
food product depends on many 
factors, including the size, 
shape and material of the food 
container, and the quantity and 
consistency of the food 
product.
