17HOTPLATEThe Traditional 60 has a hotplate lid that is fitted with a safety device which cuts off thegas supply to the hotplate burners unless the lid is fully open. Do not use the safetydevice as a means of controlling the hotplate burners.The Traditional 60 hotplate has two high speed burners and two simmering burners.The Professional 60 hotplate has one very high speed wok burner, one high speedburner and two simmering burners.Burners will accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and 240mm (9 1/2”) diameter.All pans should be positioned centrally over the burners.TO USE THE HOTPLATE1. (Traditional 60 only): Remove any items or spillage from the top of the lidand then raise it to its fully open position.2. Push in and turn the control knob of the chosen burner anti-clockwise to thelarge flame symbol. Continue to push in the knob until the sparks light the gas.3. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to reduce the heat input.Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the smallflame symbol when adjusting the setting.4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol O.DO NOT use the hotplate unless all pan supports are in position.DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable.DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.DO NOT use the glass lid as a working surface (Traditional 60 only).Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting the gas. To ensure rapid lighting ofthe burners every time they are used, the ignitors must be kept clean and dry.Remove any food spillage or cleaning materials from the ignitor using a small nylonbrush such as a tooth brush. Access to the ignitor can be achieved by lifting off theloose burner parts carefully when the burners are cool.When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are removed for cleaning, be careful not todrop any food particles or cleaning materials into the burner bases, to avoid thepossibility of blocking the gas jets.If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the top edge of thepan support fingers.
