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.
