I purchased the unit from a private party and the original owners manual was not available. Having the ability to download it was extremely helpful and clarified operating the equipment immensely. This is a complicated unit and without the manual I would not have been able to maximize it's potential. Thank you.
Being a user of older radios of many kinds, preferring them over more modern rigs, this manual was invaluable in the programming of my two. I now know for certain what the assorted buttons functions are, and am very grateful to have found this excellent site. Many thanks for your assistance, Tony.
Quick response and exactly what I was looking for and at a great fair price!

The sealed hotplates
1 2
Before using the hotplates for the first time
Turn the control knob to a high setting and allow the hotplate to heat, uncovered by a saucepan for 3-5 minutes. This hardens the protective coating on the hotplates and makes it more resistant to normal use. A harmless smoke will be given off from the hotplates

� Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the hob to help reduce scratches and maintain the efficiency of the hotplates. � Avoid the use of decorative covers as they can cause condensation to form on the hotplates which may lead to deterioration. � Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan manufacturer, particularly those relating to recommended heat settings. � Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not be used. � Never leave the hotplates ON when not covered with a saucepan. � Ensure that the hob and saucepans are clean and dry before the start of cooking to reduce cleaning.
Hints and tips
Using the hob
� Turn the control knob in either direction to vary the heat setting. � The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest number represents the coolest setting.

� Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to keep the hob looking like new.

Recommended saucepans
Only saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are recommended. The saucepan base should be approximately the same size as the cooking area. Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed to remove edges and take off any deposits left from manufacture. Traditional round bottomed Woks must not be used even with a stand. Woks with flatbottomed bases are available and do comply with the above recommendations. 8
