1) SWITCHING ON THE ELECTRIC PLATES

The hobs may be equipped with two types of electric plates: normal 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). 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).

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