OPERATION:
HOTPLATE: The 640 x 330mm hotplates are controlled by 3 heat switches.
Position 0: Off
Position 1: Low 1000 watts
Position 2: Medium 2000 watts
Position 3: High 4000 watts
The loading of these plates is evenly distributed i.e. - the heat is uniform over the
complete surface of the plate.
The 220mm diameter round hotplates are controlled by an energy regulator which gives
linear heating from low (1) to high (3).
All cooking utensils should have machined at bases to give maximum heat
transference.
CLEANING:
Please see page 4 of this manual for cleaning process.
