Electric Hotplates Control Light
The Hotplates Control Light will come on each time a
cooking zone is switched on.
Hints and Tips
Saucepans for use on solid plates should have several
characteristics:
z
z
They should be fairly heavy duty
They should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly
larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.
z
They should have a flat base to ensure good contact
with the plate.
This is particularly important when using pans for high
temperature frying or pressure cooking.
As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the plate control
knob so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.
You can switch off the plate a short while before you
finish cooking, and the final stage will be completed on
the accumulated heat. Similarly, stews etc. cooked in
well covered saucepans cook at lower temperature which
is more economical.
Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids
being spilt onto the plates.
Never leave the plates on without a pan on them
or with an empty pan on them.
4
Take care never to lean or reach over a hot electric
plate. Always point pan handles 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.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn,
please contact your local Service Force Centre.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried
out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the
electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage
can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well
wrungoutinwarmwatertowhichalittlewashingupliquid
has been added. Avoid the use of the following:
-
-
-
-
householddetergentandbleaches;
impregnatedpadsunsuitablefornon-sticksaucepans;
steel wool pads;
bath/sinkstainremovers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, the following
productsarerecommended:
-
For stainless steal hobs use a proprietary stainless
steel cleaner.
-
For other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend.
The control knobs may be removed by carefully pulling
themupwardforeasiercleaning.
The Hotplates
Spills onto the actual plate should be removed using
warmwaterandasoftbrush,nylonorplasticscourer.To
keeptheplateslookingasnew,hotplateconditionercan
bepurchasedfrommosthardwarestores,e.g."4Hob"by
HomeCareProducts(followthemanufacturer'sinstruction
foruse).
Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive oil on a
kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is important to note that the
platewillsmokealittleandproduceaslightlyunpleasant
odour when next used.
Stainless steel parts: the stainless steel spill rings may
become straw coloured with use. Use a proprietary
stainless steel cleaner to remove this straw
discolouration. This also applies to the area around the
hotplates on stainless steel hobs.
Failure to clean and condition hotplates may lead
to rust and corrosion forming on the surface.

Something Not Working?
If the hob is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before contacting your local Service Force
Centre.
IMPORTANT: If you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or installation,
a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.
SYMPTOM
SOLUTION
„ The plate does not heat up.
‹ Check that the unit is plugged in and the electrical
supply is switched on
‹ Check that the RCCB has not tripped (if fitted)
‹ Check the mains fuse has not blown
‹ Check the correct control knob has been turned.
‹ Check the plate is clean and dry
„ The plate is not giving satisfactory results
‹ Check the cooking pan is the correct size for the plate.
‹ Check the cooking pan has a flat bottom
‹ Check the setting is correct for the type of cooking.
In-guarantee customers should ensure that the
above checks have been made as the engineer will
make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical or
electrical breakdown.
If after all these checks, your hob still does not operate
correctly, contact your local Service Force Centre.
