USE OF HOTPLATES
Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob
surface.
Turn the control to 6 for fast cooking. To cook more slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower
setting according to the size of the saucepan and the amount of liquid. The two small Hotplates are
specially for smaller pans, low temperature cooking and simmering.
Do Not leave a hotplate switched on without a pan as this wastes energy and may shorten the life
of the hotplate.
