Cannon ICON 1000 Use And Installation Instructions

The hotplate has one high speed wok burner, one large high speed burner, fournormal simmering burners and two small simmering burners which willaccommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and 200mm (8”) diameter. All pans shouldbe positioned centrally over the burners. The pan supports should be fitted on thehotplate such that the indents along one side of each pan support are inner-most.If using a griddle plate, this must be used in conjunction with the far right hand burn-ers as they are set to give the same maximum heat output as each other and thus pro-vide an even heat distribution across the plate. See the section on the griddle plate toget the best results.TO USE THE HOTPLATE1. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob of thechosen burner anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to pressthe ignition button until the spark lights the gas.2. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting.Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the smallflame symbol for adjusting the setting.3. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the position.DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable.DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.Each burner is fitted with a spark ignition electrode for lighting the gas.To ensure rapid lighting of the burners every time they are used, the electrodes must bekept clean and dry. Remove any food spillage or cleaning materials from the electrodesusing a small nylon brush such as a tooth brush.Access to the ignitor can be achieved by lifting off the loose burner parts carefully whenthe burners are cool.If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the top edge of thepan support fingers. See ‘Care and Cleaning’ section for further information.HOTPLATE8SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING1. Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil or fat.2.
