PRIOR TO FIRST USE
Before using the appliance for the first time, you should proceed as follows: carefully unpack the hob and remove all
packaging material and any promotional stickers. Keep the packaging (plastic bags and cardboard) out of reach of children.
After unpacking the appliance, carefully check it for external damage that may have occurred during transport.
The hot plate becomes hot during use, and also after use, the hot plate remains hot for some time. Mount the supplied
handles, so you can pick up the hot plate safely if you want and move it without burning yourself. Screw the handles tight
on both sides of the hot plate using the provided screws.
Place the hot plate on a sturdy, flat and heat-resistant surface. Clean the hot plate with a slightly damp cloth. The hot plates
are provided with a protective layer that must be removed prior to first use. This is done by turning on the hot plate at maximum
level for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Do this in a properly ventilated room! Light smoke may form due to the protective layer
burning off the hot plate. After removing the protective layer you can switch off the hot plate or start using it.
USE
Switch both thermostat knobs to «MIN». Only then insert the plug in the socket. Turn the thermostat knob of the hot plate
to be used to the right, to the required position. The accompanying indicator light will light up.
Position «MIN» of the hot plate is the lowest position and position «MAX» is the highest position.
Use a low position [ MIN to 4 ] for simmering and a higher position [ 5 to MAX ] for boiling and frying.
The thermostat knob is a stepless control.
MIN = low
1-4 = keep warm-simmer
5 = boiling and frying
MAX = high
It takes approximately 10 minutes for the hot plate to reach maximum temperature (on the maximum setting of the thermostat
knob). When the set temperature has been reached, the indicator light switches off. After a drop in temperature, due to heat
transfer to the pan, the thermostat switches on again. The indicator light will light up again. Due to the construction of the hot
plate, it remains hot for some time after switching off. This residual heat can be used to keep the food warm for a short period
of time.
CAUTION: THE APPLIANCE CAN GET VERY HOT DURING USE, THEREFORE PLACE THE APPLIANCE DURING USE ON A HEAT-RESISTANT
PLATE AND NEVER, FOR EXAMPLE, ON A PLASTIC TABLE, PLASTIC TABLE CLOTH OR REFRIDGERATOR.
Only use pans with bottoms that have the same diameter as the hot plate itself. Smaller diameters lead to loss of energy.
Do not touch the hot plate when it is switched on. Please note that the hot plate does not cool down immediately after being
switched off. Turn the thermostat knob to the «MIN» position and remove the plug from the socket after each use.
