ELECTRIC HOTPLATES
To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control
knob to the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered 0 – 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 Hotplate (Front right)
The rapid hotplate indicated by a red spot, will
heat up more quickly than a normal plate.
Over a period of time the red spot may
disappear, this will not affect the performance
of the hotplate.
It is important to note that the hotplate
may smoke and produce a slightly
unpleasant odour when used for the first
time. This is quite normal and will disappear
after some time.
Main pilot light
This light will illuminate when the oven function
control knob is set or the hotplate control knobs
are turned on and remains lit while these are in
use.
Do not put anything on the hob that is
liable to melt.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates
are given in the following table:
