Correct use of the electric plates To obtain the best results from the use of the plates please observe the following points. • The base of the pan must not be smaller than the plate. • The pan base must be completely flat. • Avoid placing wet pans on the plate. • The diameter of the base of the pan must be the same as that of the plate or slightly bigger but never smaller. • Do not let the plate function without a pan placed upon it see fig. 3.

Remember It is far more economical to use pans with close fitting lids.
Special notes when frying For safety purposes, when deep frying fill the pan only one-third full of fat or oil. DO NOT COVER THE PAN WITH A LID AND DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED. In the unfortunate event of a fat fire, switch off at the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames. If in doubt call the Fire Brigade.

Cleaning and Maintenance General After use and while the hob is still warm it should be wiped with a damp cloth. When cleaning care should be taken to avoid water leaking into the control panel as this way cause damage to the controls. With regular cleaning the hob will remain in good condition. It is advisable to disconnect the electrical supply to the hob before cleaning is undertaken. To keep the hob looking at its best, wipe, any spills as soon as they occur. This will prevent them burning on and becoming more difficult to remove.
Enamel Parts In order to maintain the condition of the enamel parts, clean and wipe frequently with hot soapy water. Any obstinate marks can be removed using a paste or cream cleaner or a well moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad. Rub gently so as not to damage the surface. Never use abrasive powders. Do not permit vinegar, coffee, milk, salt water, lemon or tomato juice to remain in contact with the enamel parts as they may stain or discolour the surface. NOTE Any cleaners such as spray or stick cleaners which are used on enamel must have the VEDC (Vitreous Enamel Development Council) seal of approval and the manufacturers instructions must be followed.
Cleaning of the Electric Plates Any spillage should be wiped from the plates as soon as the plates are cool enough to do so, using a damp cloth. To prevent rusting of the plates do not leave the plates wet, but dry after cleaning. After use, periodically apply a liberal amount of clean cooking oil to the plates with a soft cloth to restore the appearance. WARNING The appliance gets very hot around the cooking area. It is most important that children are not left alone in the kitchen when the cooking appliance is in use and all normal safety precautions should be observed. 7
If your hob should fail to operate Before calling for assistance please check the following points. 1 . Check that the mains isolation switch is turned on. 2. Check that the control knob is turned to the correct position. 3. Check that the house fuse or RCB has not tripped. 4. If you should require After Sales Service please call 0990-214814.
For your safety The product should-only be used for its intended purpose which is for the cooking of domestic foodstuffs. Under no circumstances should any external covers be removed for servicing or maintenance except by suitably qualified personnel.
