Zanussi ZES 646 manual Electric Hotplates Control Light, Rapid Hotplates

Rapid Hotplates

The rapid hotplates are indicated by a red dot, and will heat up more quickly than a normal plate. As the red dots are painted on the plate, they may deteriorate during use and even disappear completely after a period of time. This will not affect the performance of the hob.

It is important to note that the plate may smoke and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used for the first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after a short while.

Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are given in the following table.
