Frequently Asked Questions

1. What should I do if the hotplate does not heat evenly? The AHT860 comes with separate controls for the left and right side of the hotplate. If you notice uneven heating, it could be due to the controls set differently on either side. Please check the controls and adjust accordingly.

2. What's the correct way to clean the hotplate? Only soapy water should be used for cleaning the hotplate. Cleaning agents can strip back the seasoning layer and damage the plate.

3. What's the purpose of the Cook/Idle switch? The Cook/Idle switch allows you to switch quickly between two predetermined temperatures. This feature helps you maintain the right cooking temperature during busy times and conserve energy during quieter periods. 

4. What is the proper way to clean my AUSTHEAT HOTPLATE / GRILL?

   It is essential to clean the hotplate using only soapy water as cleaning agents can strip back the seasoning layer that has formed and damage the plate. Always ensure the hotplate is cool before you start cleaning.

5. Why is there an unpleasant smell and vapour coming from my new AUSTHEAT HOTPLATE / GRILL?

   The new units use insulation materials that, when heated for the first time, release small amounts of vapour in a process called "Off-Gassing." We recommend running the machine at its highest settings for at least an hour before operating. Note, the vapours produced are non-toxic but may sting the eyes if in very close proximity.

6. Can I set different temperatures for different zones on the hotplate?

   Yes, the AUSTHEAT HOTPLATE / GRILL features separate controls for the left side and right side of the hotplate. This allows you to set different temperatures for different zones, providing flexibility and efficiency when cooking different types of food at the same time.
