Hints and Tips

Saucepans for use on solid plates should have several

characteristics:

l

They should be fairly heavy duty

l

They should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly

larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.

l

They should have a flat base to ensure good contact

with the plate.

This is particularly important when using pans for high

temperature frying or pressure cooking.

As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the plate control

knob so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.
You can switch off the plate a short while before you

finish cooking, and the final stage will be completed on

the accumulated heat. Similarly, stews etc. cooked in

well covered saucepans cook at lower temperature which

is more economical.

Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids

being spilt onto the plates.
Never leave the plates on without a pan on them

or with an empty pan on them.

Electric Hotplates

To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control knob

anticlockwise to the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered 1 - 6
0   - OFF
1   - Minimum
6   - Maximum.
The hob has two types of hotplates:

Normal Hotplates

We recommend the plates are switched to maximum (6)

for a short while to boost the plate, and then adjusted to

the required setting.

Rapid Hotplates

The rapid hotplates are indicated by a red dot, and will

heat up more quickly than a normal plate. As the red dots

are painted on the plate, they may deteriorate during use

and even disappear completely after a period of time. 

This

will not affect the performance of the hob.

It is important to note that the plate may smoke

and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when

used for the first time. This is quite normal and

will disappear after a short while.

Electric Hotplates Control Light

The Hotplates Control Light will come on each time a

cooking zone is switched on.
