1) SWITCHING ON THE ELECTRIC PLATES

The hobs may be equipped with three types of electric plates: normal, thermostat and rapid plates indicated by a red mark. The normal plates and the rapid plates are controlled by a 7 - position switch (see fig. 1). The thermostat plates are controlled by 12 - position switch (see fig. 2).

Switch on the plates by turning the knob to the required position.

A diagram is screen-printed on the front panel. This

diagram indicates to which electric plate the knob in question corresponds (see fig. 1 - 2).

A red warning light will come on to indicate that the plate has been ignited.

2) HOW TO USE THE ELECTRIC PLATES

A purely indicative plate regulation chart is given below.
