Over a period of time the red spot may
disappear, this will not affect the
performance of the hotplate.
It is important to note that the hotplate
may smoke and produce a slightly
unpleasant odour when used for the
first time. This is quite normal and will
disappear after some time.

Hints and Tips
Saucepans for use on solid plates should
have several characteristics:
•
They should be fairty 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
particularty important when using pans for
high temperature frying presure cooking.
As soon as liquid starts boiling,turn the plate
control knob so that it will barely keep the
liqiud simmering.
You can switch off the plate a short while
before you finish coking, and the final stage wil
be completed on the accumulated heat.
Ensure pans are large enough to avoid
liquids being split into the plates. Never
leave the plates on without a pan on
them or with an empty pan on them.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the
plates are given in the following table:

Do not put anything on the hob that is
liable to melt.
Take care never to lean or reach over
a hot electric plate. Always point
panhandles 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.
