To prime the Hotplate
Switch on the hotplate for a short period,
without a pan, to harden and burn off the
coating.
Use a medium to high setting for 3 – 5
minutes. A non toxic smoke may occur during
this process. Allow it to cool, then season.
To season the Hotplate
First heat the hotplate for 30 seconds on
a medium setting, then switch off. Pour a
minimal amount of unsalted vegetable oil onto
a clean dry cloth or paper towel, and apply a
thin coat of oil to the hotplate surface. Wipe
off any excess oil, then heat the hotplate on
a medium setting for 1 minute. Occasional
seasoning will help to maintain the Hotplate’s
appearance.
! WARNING:
• Glass lids may shatter when heated. Turn
off the hotplate and allow it to cool before
closing the glass lid.
• Remove all spillage from the surface of
the glass lid before opening.
• The glass lid has the tendency to snap
shut towards the end of lowering.
This is caused by the travel lock action of
the hinges as it is activated.
Make sure all fingers are removed from
appliance when closing the lid.
! WARNING: The use of the electric
hotplate and gas hobs will generate heat.
We recommend, to avoid excess build-
up of heat around the cooker area, the
window is left opened when cooking to
allow for additional ventilation.
Important
• Depending on specification, your appliance
may be fitted with a glass lid shut-off system,
which cuts off the power to all hotplate
burners (gas and electric) if the lid is closed.
• Ensure the glass lid is in the open and
upright position before turning on the
hotplate burners.
• Not all models are fitted with the shut-off
system.
