USING YOUR HOTPLATES HOTPLATE SAFETY WARNING WARNING • DO NOT leave the hotplate on with no pot or pan on top. • DO NOT use pots and pans which are unsteady, as these could overbalance. • DO NOT use asbestos mats or heat diffusers. These will cause a temperature build-up which can damage the cooktop. • DO NOT allow pots or pans to boil dry. This could damage the hotplate and/or the cooktop. • DO NOT let cooking utensils get too close to the hotplate control knobs.
CHOOSING UTENSILS GOOD BAD (recessed base) BAD (convex base) BAD (undersiz e) BAD (oversize) BAD (moisture on hotplate) BAD (no utensil) Look at this diagram above which shows you which utensils to use on the hotplates and which utensils should not be used. • ALWAYS use pots and pans with flat bottoms.
