CAST IRON HOTPLATE
The cast iron hob is Ø330mm and has a 2.5kW Element.
From the OFF setting it takes approximately 40 minutes to reach
400⁰Centigrade, or 31 minutes from 150⁰Centigrade to
400⁰Centigrade when in slumber mode. Heat up times were
checked with the heat conserving lid down and at a room
temperature of 18°C
Always use solid machined flat base pans to ensure the best contact
on the hotplate and subsequent heat transfer. Cast iron pans
usually work well.
Never use utensils with rough bases.
It is important that any spillage is dealt with before the
hob is used again, otherwise it may become baked on solid
and difficult to remove.
Always keep the hotplate cover down when the hob is not
in use to conserve energy.
OVEN STEAM VENTS
The EL cooker incorporates oven steam vents in both the top and
lower oven.
The lower oven steam vent is a permanently open vent and vents
behind the cooker.
The top oven steam vent is adjustable. And can be either opened or
closed via the top steam vent on the top of the cooker.
Figure 6 shows the steam vent closed. When using the oven in this
method, condensation can form on the inside of the oven door and
run off when the door is opened.
