This will ensure that any stubborn, burnt on spillages are removed. Wipe over with a damp clean cloth, making sure that all the cleaner has been removed. Finally, turn on the control knob to warm the hotplate for a few minutes, then smear with a little cooking oil to provide a protective coating. DO NOT use any cleaner which contains bleach. Ensure that the hotplates are dried well with a clean cloth after cleaning. The appearance of the hotplates can be maintained by using a spot of cooking oil rubbed onto the surface of each hotplate after cleaning. Alternatively use a proprietary hotplate cleaner such as Collo Electrol (Part No. 6400 001). This can be ordered from your local Hotpoint Spares Centre (see back page). Plastic Control Knobs Wipe with a cloth dampened with hot soapy water. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cream cleaner, carefully applied. 10 Operation The Controls The relevant control for each ring Is clearly Indicated on the control panel. Simply turn the knob to the setting required and the indicator light will come on. When switching off turn the Control to the ‘O’ (Off) position. The Hob has four hotplates, two of which are ‘fast heat’. These are identified by a red spot. The heating areas heat up more quickly than the remaining heating areas. Loading 1 x 180mm heating area is (Fast Heat) 1 x 180mm heating area i: 1 x 145mm heating area i: (Fast Heat) 1 x 145mm heating area i: Fig. 4 To bring items to the boil turn the control to setting 6 initially and then turn to a lower setting within the range 1-6 as required. Similarly when frying, again turn to setting 6 until the fat is hot and then lower the setting according to your requirements. See page 8. Note: Never leave hot fat or cooking oil unattended. The six setting heating areas will turn in either direction to switch On, and are marked 0-6, 6 giving maximum power. Setting 3 is normally sufficient to maintain a gentle boil, further cooking details are explained in the cooking chart illustrated on page 8. 2kW 1.5kW 1.5kW 1.0kW 7 Hotplates General Information Notes Note: Linder no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface. Use of Hotplate The controls set the hotplates at six pre-set power levels. Each control can be used to select one of six temperature settings from a minimum at position 1 to a maximum at position 6. Knob Position Type of food 1 To melt butter, chocolate, etc. 1 or 2 To heat food gently. To keep small amounts of water simmering. To heat sauces, containing egg yolks and butter, To simmer: stews, meat, fish, vegetables, fruit. 3 To heat solid and liquid foods. Keep water boiling. Thaw frozen vegetables. Make 2-3 egg omelettes. 4 or 5 To cook foods, ust above simmering. To maintain 'rol ing' boil for preserve making. 5 or 6 To seal meat and fry fish. 6 Frying potatoes. Bringing water to the boil. Deep fat frying. Dissolve sugar for preserve making. Safety requirements for deep fat frying 1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area. 2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full of oil. 3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period. 4. Never try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food. 5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods, in particular, will cause frothing and spitting, if added to quickly. 6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan. 7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat. 8 Control Settings Guide This table is provided only as a guide -settings also depend on the type of pan used and the quality of food. Hotplates General Information Notes PANS SHOULD BE: Not concave (bowed in) Not convex (bowed out) Not rimmed Not deeply ridged But essentially Flat Always ✓ Never * • Use good quality flat-based cookware on all electric heat sources. • Always ensure pans have clean, dry bases before use. • Ensure pan bases match size of heating area. • Remember good quality pans retain heat well, so generally only a low or medium heat is necessary. • Ensure pan handles are positioned safely and away from heat sources. • Always lift pans, never drag. • Always use pan lids except when frying. • Deal with spillage’s immediately but with care. • Use gauze, metal pan diffusers, asbestos mats and stands e.g. Wok stands - they can cause overheating. • Use utensils with skirts or rims e.g. buckets and some kettles. • Use badly dented or distorted pans. • Leave an element switched on when not cooking. • Cook food directly on a heat source. • Drag or slide utensils. • Place large preserving pans or fish kettles across two hotplates. 9...
