Use
Unpack the appliance� Remove all the labels from the product� Please check that it is whole
and in good condition� If the appliance is damaged or malfunctions, do not use it and return
it to your dealer or service centre�
Keep all packaging out of the reach of children� Accidents can occur as a result of children
playing with the packaging materials�
• Place the appliance on a flat, dry, heat-resistant surface�
• The switch must be in the "Off" position� Plug in the appliance�
• Before first use, heat the appliance for 10 minutes to fix the protective varnish on the
plate and give it maximum resistance� Then turn it off and let it cool down� Your appliance
is now ready for use�
• Use only thick, flat-bottomed pots and pans designed for ceramic hobs� Use cooking
utensils that are slightly larger than or the same size as the hot plate� If the diameter
of the pot or pan is smaller than the diameter of the hob, there is a risk of heat loss�
Cooking utensils that are too large lead to inefficiency and uneven heating� It is also
advisable to use a lid whenever possible to save energy�
• Do not use round-bottomed woks, wok holders or similar curved-bottomed cooking
utensils, as this may cause the hob to overheat and damage the appliance�
• Always place cooking utensils in the centre of the hot plate to cook fast and efficiently�
• To heat the plate, turn the control knob to the right to the desired position (0 = Off, 1
to 3 = low heat/low intensity and from 4 to MAX� = high heat/high intensity)� Adjust the
temperature during cooking if necessary�
• The indicator lights come on when the plate starts to heat up� Once the temperature has
been reached, the indicator lights go out�
Note: During use, the indicator lights may come on and off intermittently� This is a normal
feature and not a malfunction�
• The two plates work independently� Each is controlled by its own temperature control knob�
• After use, turn the thermostat knob to the "0 (= OFF)" position and unplug the appliance�
• The plate continues to heat up when it is switched off� You can use this residual heat to
keep food warm for a short time or to finish cooking�
