Hotplate

The hotplate has one large wok burner, one large

burner, two medium burners and one small burner.

One model has two oval burners and the other has a

dual zone ceramic plate.

All hotplates will accommodate pans between

100mm (4) and 200mm (9) diameter.

The wok and large burner will accommodate pans up

to 260mm (10) diameter. All pans should be placed

centrally over the burners.

DUAL CERAMIC PLATE (model EG1000EX only):

Warning: DO NOT use the hob if it is cracked. To

avoid the risk of electric shock, switch off the cooker

at the main isolating switch and contact your nearest

Service Office (see back page).

Heating only occurs within the zone marked on the

hob. The heating zone has a safety cut out which

prevents the ceramic glass from overheating. After

several minutes on full power without a pan, the cut

out will switch the heating element on and off to

avoid any damage to the ceramic glass.

The ceramic plate control is designed to provide

variable heat control of either the full oval of the

plate or just the circular section. Turning the control

knob clockwise will switch on the full oval and

turning the control knob anti-clockwise will switch on

just the circular zone.

It is essential that you use saucepans that are

suitable for a ceramic hob.

ALWAYS USE:

• Good quality pans with smooth flat heavy bases.

• Saucepans manufactured from aluminium or

stainless steel.

• Correct size pans - the base of the pan must cover

the heating zone completely.

NEVER USE:

• Pans with thin, distorted or uneven bases - these

would extend cooking times, waste electricity and

cause damaging local hot spots on the ceramic

surface.

• Pans with ridged or recessed bases.

• Pans with damaged or rough bases which could

scratch the ceramic surface.

• Glass or ceramic glass utensils.

In order to keep your ceramic plate in good

condition, follow these simple guidelines:

DO NOT...

- cook directly on the ceramic surface without a

cooking utensil, as this will result in damage to the

surface of the hob.

- use the ceramic as a work surface as damage may

occur to the smooth surface of the hob.

- drag or slide utensils on the ceramic surface, as

this will cause scratches.

- place anything between the utensil base and the

ceramic surface, such as asbestos mats or wok

stands.

- leave any utensils, food or combustible items on

the ceramic when it is not in use.

ALWAYS...

- ensure the bottom of the pan is clean and dry. Dirt

or moisture between pan and the ceramic can cau-

se pitting of the ceramic surface.

- take extra care when cooking foods with high sugar

content such as jam, as spillage will cause damage

to the surface of the ceramic.

- clean spills immediately.

 Make sure the pans do not overlap the edges of

the hob while it is being used.

OVAL BURNERS (model EG1000GX only):

The two oval burners at the front of the hotplate can

be turned through 90° to suit the shape of the

cookware being used. The burners can be used

individually or together.

Example for:

rectangular dishes

and when using the

griddle plate.

Example for:

when using

oval dishes

(ie. fish pans).

TO USE THE GAS HOTPLATE BURNERS

1. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn

the control knob of the chosen burner anti-clockwise

to the large flame symbol. Continue to press the

ignition button until the spark lights the gas.

2. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired

setting. Only turn the control knob between the large

flame symbol and the small flame symbol for

adjusting the setting.

3. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to

the O position.

In the event of the burner not lighting straight away

or the flames being accidentally extinguished, turn
