Fig. 14 13 THE SEALED HOTPLATES BEFORE USING THE HOTPLATES FOR THE FIRST TIME Turn the control knob to a medium/high setting and allow the hotplate to heat, uncovered by a saucepan for 3-5 minutes. This hardens the protective coating on the hotplates and makes it more resistant to normal use. A harmless smoke will be given off from the hotplates. · · To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in either direction to vary the heat setting. The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest number represents the coolest setting. Choose a setting appropriate to the quantity and type of food to be cooked. HINTS AND TIPS · Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the hob to help reduce scratches and maintain the efficiency of the hotplates. RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS For speed and economy only good quality saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are recommended. To check the flatness of the saucepan, place a ruler across the pan base, hold at eye level and look for light showing. There should be very little or no light visible between the ruler and the pan base. · · · Avoid the use of decorative covers as they can cause condensation to form on the hotplates which may lead to deterioration. Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan manufacturer, particularly those relating to recommended heat settings. Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted saucepans as they can lead to sticking and burning of food. The size of the base of the saucepan should be the same or up to 2. 5cm/1 inch larger than the hotplate. If the base is too small, energy will be wasted, boilovers will also be more difficult to deal with as spillage will fall directly onto the hotplate. Pressure cookers, preserving pans etc. , should comply with the recommendations given above. Traditional round bottomed Woks must not be used even with a stand. Woks with flat-bottomed bases are available and do comply with the above recommendations. · To prolong the life of the hotplates: · · · Never use utensils with a skirt, e. g. Never leave the hotplates ON when not covered with a saucepan. 14 DEEP FAT FRYING SPECIAL FRYING NOTE: For safety purposes when deep fat frying, fill the pan one third full of oil, DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended. In the unfortunate event of a fire, switch the appliance OFF at the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames. Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes before moving it. DO NOT leave the fat or oil in the frying pan on the hob to store it in case the hob is inadvertently switched ON. Seal the food by coating with flour, egg and breadcrumbs or batter. Do not use a basket with batter coated foods as they will stick. For safety purposes fill the pan only one-third full of oil. [. . . ] Be prepared to adjust the temperature up or down by 10°C to achieve the results you want.
