USE
• Put the appliance on a stable, dry and heat resistant surface,
near a power outlet.
• The thermostat knob must be on its minimum position (MIN), and
the switch must be in off position. Make sure the it.
• Plug in the appliance.
• Before the first use, preheat the appliance for 10 minutes in order
to fix the protective coating on the heating element. To do so,
press the on/off switch. Its pilot light will come on, indicating that
the appliance is switched on. Turn the thermostat knob to its
maximum position (MAX). After 10 minutes, turn the thermostat
knob to MIN and switch off the appliance to let it cool down.
Your appliance is now ready for use.
• Always use flat-bottomed saucepans especially conceived for
electric cooking plates. The saucepan base should ideally be of
the same size as the cooking plate to avoid a waste of heat and
energy.
• Press the on/off switch. Its pilot light will come on, indicating that
the appliance is switched on.
• Turn the thermostat knob to the right until you reach the desired
temperature setting. The heating element starts heating.
• Due to the cooking plates’ construction, residual heat will remain
after switching off. This may be used to keep food warm for a
short period.
• After use, turn the thermostat knob to "MIN" and unplug the
appliance from electrical outlet.
