Operation

ELECTRIC HOTPLATES

To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise 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

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

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.

i

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.
