Instructions for use
operation of electric hot plates
Some versions have one or more electric hot plates. These hot plates
can be normal, quick or automatic. The last two types have a red dot
in the centre (quick) and a circular plate in the centre (automatic).
The hot plates can be adjusted depending on cooking requirements,
turning their knobs clockwise or anticlockwise to 6 positions as well
as 0. The positions marked with the highest number correspond to
the greatest supply of heat (see table). With the quick and automatic
hot plates, once the temperature selected has been reached, a
thermostat automatically reduces the power and the hot plate will
operate intermittently so that the temperature remains constant
throughout cooking.
The indicator lamp on the control panel signals that the electric hot
plates are switched on.
advice on use of the hot plates
So that the electric hot plates last longer and to save energy, only
use flatbottomed saucepans whose diameter is not smaller than that
of the hot plates. Avoid boiling liquids spilling out of the saucepan
on to the hot plates. Do not leave the hot plates on empty or with
empty saucepans and do not use them to heat the room.
Switch the hot plates on after you have put the saucepans on them.
Do not forget that when the hot plates are switched off they remain
hot for some time.
