Hotplate
The hotplate lid is fitted with a safety device which cuts
off the gas supply to the hotplate burners unless the lid
is fully open. Do not use the safety device as a means
of controlling the hotplate burners.
The hotplate has one high speed burner, two normal
simmering burners and one small simmering burner
which will accommodate pans between 120mm (5")
and 260mm (10") diameter. Locate the pan support
trivet above one of the simmering burners if a very
small pan is being used.
All pans should be positioned centrally over the
burners.
TO USE THE HOTPLATE
1. Remove any items or spillage from the top of the
lid and then raise it to its fully open position.
2. Press in the ignition button and then push in and
turn the control knob fully anti-clockwise. Continue
to push in the control knob for a further 3 seconds
after the gas has lit to allow time for the safety
device to operate. If the burner extinguishes when
the control knob is released, repeat the procedure
ensuring the control knob is fully depressed and
allowing more time for the safety device to operate.
3. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to reduce the
heat input. Only turn the control knob between the
large flame symbol and the small flame symbol
when adjusting the setting.
4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to
the symbol O.

DO NOT
Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting the
gas. To ensure rapid lighting of the burners every time
they are used, the ignitors must be kept clean and dry.
Remove any food spillage or cleaning materials from
the ignitor using a small nylon brush such as a tooth
brush. Access to the ignitor can be achieved by lifting
off the loose burner parts carefully when the burners
are cool.
When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are
removed for cleaning, be careful not to drop any food
particles or cleaning materials into the burner bases, to
avoid the possibility of blocking the gas jets.
If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit
may appear on the top edge of the pan support
fingers. See ‚Care and Cleaning' section for cleaning
information.
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING
1. Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil
or fat.
2. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating
or cooling period.
3. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.
4. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lo-
wer it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in
particular will cause frothing and spitting if added
too quickly.
5. Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free
from streaks of oil or fat.
HOW TO DEAL WITH A FAT FIRE
1. Do not move the pan.
2. Turn off the hotplate burners.
3. Smother the flames with a fire blanket or damp
cloth to extinguish the fire. Do not use water or a
fire extinguisher as the force of it may spread the
burning fat or oil over the edge of the pan.
4. Leave the pan for at least 60 minutes before moving
it.
