Important
• Although each burner will support pans from
10 to 22cm, care should be taken not to
overload the appliance as performance may
be reduced.
• The following pan sizes are the maximum we
recommend:- Electric Hotplate:- Ø180mm
Auxiliary Burner:- Ø200mm Semi-Rapid
Burner:- 2x Ø200mm or 1x Ø220mm with 1x
Ø180mm
• When using small pans the flames should
not spread beyond the base of the pan as
this will reduce the efficiency of the burner.
• Avoid old or misshapen pans as these may
cause instability.
• The lid must be opened fully prior to using
the hotplate burners.
Using the Hotplate Gas Burners
1. Ensure gas cylinder/supply is connected
and turned on. In the event of a gas smell
turn off at gas cylinder/mains and contact
supplier.
2. Flame supervision: Each burner is
controlled individually and is monitored
by a thermocouple probe. In the event
of the burner flames being accidentally
extinguished, turn off the burner control and
do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at
least one minute.
3. To light: Push in the control knob and turn
to full rate – see Fig.1. Hold a lighted match
or taper to the burner and push the control
knob in and hold. It is necessary to hold
the knob depressed after the burner has
ignited for approximately 10 - 15 seconds,
to allow the thermocouple probe to reach
temperature, before releasing the knob.
Should the flame go out when the knob is
released, the procedure should be repeated
holding the knob depressed for slightly
longer.
4. For models fitted with Spark Ignition the
procedure is similar except that the burner
can be ignited by depressing the ignition
button, which is located on the fascia. If
the burner has not lit within 15 seconds
the control knob should be released and
the burner left for at least 1 minute before a
further attempt to ignite the burner.
5. For simmering, turn the knob further anti-
clockwise to the low rate position.
6. To turn off: Turn the control knob until the
line on the control knob is aligned with the
dot on the control panel. Always make sure
the control knob is in the off position when
you have finished using the
hotplate burners.
Using the Electric Hotplate
Ensure the electricity is switched on.
The hotplate control is numbered from 1 to 6.
To turn it on, rotate the knob either clockwise
or anti-clockwise to the required position.
Position 1 is the coolest setting.
To turn the hotplate off, rotate the knob until
the line or pointer on the knob lines up with the
zero on the control panel.
The hotplate is a sealed construction and
transfers heat through conduction. For
maximum efficiency a correctly sized pan with
a flat heavy gauge base should be used. Pan
size should be the same or slightly larger (up to
1” / 2.5cm oversize).
Before using your hotplate for the first time, we
recommend that you prime and then season it.
