Operation
Electric Hotplates
To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control knob to the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered 1 - 6
0- OFF
1- Minimum
6- Maximum.
The hob has two types of hotplates:
Normal Hotplates (Back right and left)
We recommend the plates are switched to maximum (6) for a short while to boost the plate, and then adjusted to the required setting.
Rapid Hotplates (Front right and left)
The rapid hotplates will heat up more quickly than a normal plate.
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.
