Using the Hob
The Hotplates
To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control knob to the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered 1 – 3 with seven positions.
0 - OFF
∙- Minimum
3 - Maximum.
The hob has two types of hotplates:
Rapid Hotplate (Front left)
The rapid hotplates will heat up more quickly than a normal plate.
Normal Hotplates
We recommend the plates are switched to maximum (3) for a short while to boost the plate, and then adjusted to the required setting.
It is important to note that the plate may smoke a little and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used for the first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after a few minutes.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are given in the following table.
Do not put anything on the hob that is liable to melt.
