Use and Maintenance
The Ø 145 mm to 1500 W hotplate (with the red
dot) and the Ø 180 mm to 1500 W hotplate both
heat up rapidly to their maximum power during
about the first five minutes, after which their power
decreases to 750 and 800 W respectively, at
which point the temperature becomes constant.
When first connecting, or if the hotplate has not
been used for some time, the moisture absorbed
by the insulation needs to be eliminated. To carry
out this drying process, turn the hotplate on - with
no pan on it - for five minutes at switch position 2.
The smell and smoke that are emitted, while
unpleasant, present no risk, and you should assist
ventilation by opening doors and windows to let
the outside air in.
Advice on using the electric hotplates
effectively
To ensure maximum performance from your hob,
follow these guidelines:
• Use pans with a flat base, as the greater the
surface contact between the pan and the
hotplate, the
transmission. We recommend the use of heavy
pans so that the base is more difficult to dent.
The picture shows how pans with battered or
dented bases have less surface contact.
• Do not use pans with a diameter that is smaller
than that of the hotplate, in order to avoid
boiling foods spilling over onto the hotplates.
• Dry the bottom of your pans before putting
them on the hotplates.
• When you are almost finished cooking, it is a
good idea to set the hotplate to the minimum or
to turn it off just before removing the pan, in
order to make use of the energy that has been
stored and to avoid the hotplate operating
while it is empty.

Cleaning and looking after the hotplates

• Disconnect the appliance from the electric
mains before cleaning it
• Do not use cleaning products that can harm
aluminium, such as soda, acids, etc.
• The electric hotplates should be cleaned using
soapy water and a non-abrasive scourer. If,
after cooking, you notice that the hotplate's or
hob's stainless steel rim are yellowing slightly,
you can counter this by using lemon, vinegar,
dilute ammoniac or any product containing
the heat
dilute ammoniac.
• If liquids spill onto the hotplate, they should be
quickly removed using a cloth. Never leave
them to be burned on the hotplate, for this will
reduce heat transmission considerably.
• If the hotplate is not going to be used for some
time, it should be oiled so that the surface
shines and rusting is avoided.
• Steam-based appliances should not be used to
clean the hob.
Do not clean the hotplates while they are
still hot.
