USE OF THE ELECTRIC HOTPLATES

A Hotplates

BKnobs

The normal and fast hotplates offer six nominal

cooking temperatures.

In the “0” position the hotplate is off.

The fast hotplate, at the front, is identified by a

red dot at the centre. This plate is used for quick

boiling, frying, etc. For this type of use, turn the

control knob to position 3.

Use position 3 for quick cooking, and position 1

for slow cooking or simmering. Turn up or down

as required.

For braising, pot-roasting, etc., select position 3

until the fat is hot. Then put in the meat and turn

down to position 2, or select a higher or lower

setting as required.

To cook dishes of this type more delicately, select

a lower setting.

Both hotplates incorporate an overheating

protection system that reduces the electrical

input automatically if a hazard temperature level

is sensed.

* Design of knobs dependent on the type of

appliance.

Using residual heat to save energy

When preparing almost any type of dish, the

residual heat of the hotplates can be used for the

final 5-10 minutes of cooking. Accordingly,

remember to select “0” in good time.

The symbols on the knobs indicate the different

hotplates:

The yellow indicator remains alight as long as the

hotplates are in operation.

General warnings

Whatever the method of cooking, use only pots

and pans suitable for electric hotplates. These

have special bases which conduct heat more

effectively. A lid should always be used when pot-

roasting, braising etc., to save energy. Also, water

soluble flavours and vitamins will be lost if

cooking vapours are allowed to escape freely.

Abundant amounts of vapour indicate a high

temperature; select a lower temperature before

vapour builds up.

Take care that salt does not fall onto the

hotplates. An unused hotplate can rust over time

as a result of the moisture absorbed by the salt.

Cleaning the hotplates

• Clean the hob when it is cool, after each use.

This will prevent the build-up of dirt and make

cleaning easier.

• Do not allow food residue to dry on the

plates.

• Do not use abrasive products, chloride based

corrosives, oven-cleaner spray or pan

scourers for cleaning the plates.
