Operation
∙ Always place a pot / saucepan on
the hot-plate before the appliance is
switched on.
∙ Ensure that the pot is clean and dry on
the outside. Do not use stain covered
pots / saucepans.
∙ To prevent damage to the hot-plate, only
use pots / saucepans with flat bottoms.
Most suitable are pots specifically
designed for use on electric plates (see
picture I).
∙ Always make sure that the pot /
saucepan used is of at least the same
diameter as the plate; this minimises the
loss of heat and prevents the plate from
being damaged as a result of uneven
heat distribution.
