Mains On Indicator Light 6 3 Operation Electric Hotplates To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to the required heat setting. The control knob is numbered 1 - 6 0 - OFF 1 - Minimum 6 - Maximum. The hob has two types of hotplates: Normal Hotplates We recommend the plates are switched to maximum (6) for a short while to boost the plate, and then adjusted to the required setting. Rapid Hotplates The rapid hotplates are indicated by a red dot, and will heat up more quickly than a normal plate. As the red dots are painted on the plate, they may deteriorate during use and even disappear completely after a period of time. This will not affect the performance of the hob. It is important to note that the plate may smoke and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used for the first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after a short while. Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are given in the following table. OFF Very Gentle Gentle 0 1 2 To keep food warm To melt butter and chocolate To prepare cream-sauces, stews and milk puddings or to fry eggs Dried vegetables, frozen food, fruit, boiling water or milk Boiled potatoes, fresh vegetables, pâtés, soups, broths, pancakes or fish Larger stews, meat roll, fish, omelettes, steaks Steaks, escalopes and frying. Slow 3 Medium 4 High Fast 5 6 Electric Hotplates Control Light The Hotplates Control Light will come on each time a cooking zone is switched on. Hints and Tips Saucepans for use on solid plates should have several characteristics: They should be fairly heavy duty They should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller. They should have a flat base to ensure good contact with the plate. This is particularly important when using pans for high temperature frying or pressure cooking. As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the plate control knob so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering. You can switch off the plate a short while before you finish cooking, and the final stage will be completed on the accumulated heat. Similarly, stews etc. cooked in well covered saucepans cook at lower temperature which is more economical. Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being spilt onto the plates. Never leave the plates on without a pan on them or with an empty pan on them. 4 Take care never to lean or reach over a hot electric plate. Always point pan handles inward or over the work surface next to the hob to avoid accidentally knocking over a pan as you pass by. Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could easily ignite. If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service Force Centre. Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the electricity supply. The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool. The Hob Top Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the following: - household detergent and bleaches; - impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans; - steel wool pads; - bath/sink stain removers. Should the hob top become heavily soiled, the following products are recommended: - For stainless steal hobs use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner. - For other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend. The control knobs may be removed by carefully pulling them upward for easier cleaning. The Hotplates Spills onto the actual plate should be removed using warm water and a soft brush, nylon or plastic scourer. To keep the plates looking as new, hotplate conditioner can be purchased from most hardware stores, e.g. "4 Hob" by HomeCare Products (follow the manufacturer's instruction for use). Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive oil on a kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is important to note that the plate will smoke a little and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when next used. Stainless steel parts: the stainless steel spill rings may become straw coloured with use. Use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner to remove this straw discolouration. This also applies to the area around the hotplates on stainless steel hobs. Failure to clean and condition hotplates may lead to rust and corrosion forming on the surface. 5 Something Not Working? If the hob is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before contacting your local Service Force Centre. IMPORTANT: If you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or installation, a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee. SYMPTOM The plate does not heat up. SOLUTION Check that the unit is plugged in and the electrical supply is switched on Check that the RCCB has not tripped (if fitted) Check the mains fuse has not blown Check the correct control knob has been turned. The plate is not giving satisfactory results Check the plate is clean and dry Check the cooking pan is the correct size for the plate. Check the cooking pan has a flat bottom Check the setting is correct for the type of cooking. If after all these checks, your hob still does not operate correctly, contact your local Service Force Centre. Please note that it will be necessary to provide proof of purchase for any in-guarantee service calls. In-guarantee customers should ensure that the above checks have been made as the engineer will make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical or electrical breakdown.
