Radiant Hotplates 

The controls for the radiant hotplates may be set at any position between high and low to provide 

the desire level of heating.  An individual amber neon for each element, will glow when the element 

cycles on and extinguish when the element cycles off. 

Start cooking at the highest setting, and change to a lower setting when the desired temperature is 

reached. 

For maximum speed and economy, it is most important that cooking utensils should cover the 

hotplate completely, and have perfectly flat bases.  Any part of the hotplate which glows bright red is 

not making effective contact with the base of the utensil, and this decreases the life and efficiency of 

the hotplate. 

Utensils which are significantly larger than the hot plate may also reduce hotplate life and efficiency. 

Griddle Plate 

Turn the thermostat control knob to the desired temperature.  When the amber neon goes out, the 

correct temperature has been reached and the griddle is ready for use. 

Turning the control to a higher setting than required will not shorten the heat up time. 

Operation

For the Refrigeration Cabinet Description of Controls, refer to the Refrigeration Cabinet Installation 

and Operation Manual supplied with the appliance.
