HOW TO OPERATE

Before first use, place the hot plate on a flat, sturdy and heat-resistant surface.
NOTE: It is also recommended to turn the hot plates on the highest heat
setting and heat up for several minutes. This will burn off any residue left
from manufacture. Some odor and smoke could develop during this process,
ensure good ventilation and it should disappear after few minutes of use.
1. Place the unit on a clean, dry and level surface near an electrical outlet. Allow
about eight inches of clear space all around the exterior of the unit.
2. Make sure temperature control knobs are set to the "OFF" position.
3. Plug into a grounded wall outlet.
4. Without placing anything on the hot plate, turn the temperature
control knob to "HIGH" for 3-5 minutes to preheat.
5. For most efficient operation, select a pot or pan that has a bottom diameter
that fits the heating plate. NOTE: The right heating plate is bigger.
6. Place a pot or pan onto the hot plate and use the temperature
guide below to cook the food as instructed by the recipe.
7. After cooking is finished, turn the temperature control knob to the "OFF" position.

Use the low settings for simmering, stewing, slow cooking, poaching,
braising and applying gentle heat to foods that can burn easily.
The medium settings are ideal for pan frying, deep frying
foods and it's perfect for cooking soups.
Use high settings when sauteing or stir frying, bringing water to a boil, in
preparation for soups or stock or for steaming foods such as vegetables.
