TOASTING CONTROLS
The toaster element is controlled by the two
energy regulators on the lower control panel on
the right hand side. These are wired to a
“Cook/Idle” switch on the upper display panel
which allows switching between the two energy
regulators.
It is suggested that the “Cook” energy regulator
be set between 4-HIGH, and that the “Idle”
energy regulator be set to 2. This will allow the
elements to stay warm while using minimal
power and will speed up the recovery time
when the “Cook” setting is later selected. This is
only a guide and only personal use will dictate
the best settings for your particular bread.
Always use gloves when handling the
toast rack during operation.
TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
The temperature displays can be seen on the
display panel, located on the front of the
hotplate on the right hand side. It displays the
current approximate temperature if the
appropriate hotplate “heating zone”.
In the event of an overheating situation, the
temperature displays will also be shut down and
will not re-illuminate until the machine is turned
off and back on again (after cooling down).
OPERATION
SEASONING
Before cooking for the
first time
the hotplate
need to be seasoned as follows.
Remove the paper from the plate and wipe
off excess fat.
Brush the plate liberally with frying oil and
cover the surface with a layer of salt.
Set the thermostat to a temperature of
around 180
and heat for 25 minutes.
Allow the oil and salt to cool, and then
remove it carefully without scratching the
surface.
Brush the plate with oil again and re-heat
until the oil is burnt in. This will form a skin
on the surface of the plate.
Re-oil the surface once again.
Your Hot Plate is now ready for use. Be sure to
never clean the hotplate using cleaning agents
(only soapy water) as this can strip back the
seasoning layer that has formed and can
damage the plate.
COOKING
1. Rotate the main switch to the “ON” position,
the green pilot light will illuminate, indicating
power is on.
2. Rotate thermostats to desired cooking/idle
temperature. Once set, the amber pilot light
associated with each side will illuminate until the
temperature is reached and will turn off.
3. Once the amber pilot light switches off,
cooking may commence (temperature has been
reached). Notice the amber pilot light will cycle
on/off in sync with when the thermostat
energises the elements.
4. When finished with the appliance, ensure
both thermostats are set at “OFF” and primary
switch is in the “OFF” position.
