PROPER USE OF THE ELECTRIC HOTPLATE
When the pan comes to the boil, turn the heat down to the level desired.
Remember that the hotplate will continue to produce heat for about five minutes
after it has been turned off.
While using the electric hotplate, you must:
< avoid keeping it on without something on it;
< avoid pouring liquids on it while it is hot;
< use flat-bottomed (electric hotplate type) pots and pans only;
< use cooking receptacles which cover as much of the surface of the hotplate as
possible;
< to save electricity, use lids whenever possible;
< never cook food directly on the hotplate: always use a pan or suitable
container.
< caution: the cooking hob becomes very hot during operation. Keep
children well out of reach.
