TO USE THE HOTPLATE
z To light a hotplate burner, push and hold down the appropriate control knob and turn
counter-clockwise to the large flame symbol , until the burner lights, and hold in for 3
seconds and then rotate the knob to the required setting.
z In the event of the burner flame being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control
and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.
z The control may be set towards a lower position, simply by turning the control knob
towards the small flame symbol.
z IMPORTANT: The cast iron pan supports on the appliance are much heavier than those on
most gas hotplates. Therefore care must be taken when removing or re-fitting them to the
hotplate. It is important that they are lifted from the appliance and not dragged across
adjacent enamelled components which would result in damaging the enamel.
z Pans and kettles with concave bases should not be used.
z Glazed cooking utensils - Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking because of
sudden change in temperature.
z Ensure the correct size utensil is chosen to prevent food boil over.
z Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings - Grease from pans boiling over,
may ignite.
