3. Only connect the appliance to a properly installed protec-
tive contact socket.
Switching the Appliance On / Off
The appliance is operated with the temperature control
knob. The appliance is switched off when the temperature
control knob is in the MIN position.
Before First Use
There is a protective layer on the hotplate that burns when
the appliance heats up. This may cause smoke and odours
to develop when using the appliance, but these will disap-
pear after a few uses. This is not a defect.
• You can minimise the development of smoke by wiping
the hotplate with a slightly damp cloth before using it for
the first time.
• Do not use any cleaning agents!
• Wipe with a dry cloth.
• Only switch on the appliance when it is completely dry.
• Always ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Operate the appliance separately for several minutes
before using it for the first time to allow the protective
layers to remove.
• Use the hotplate without cookware. To do this, set the
temperature control knob to MAX.
WARNING:
• Always disconnect the mains plug from the socket before clean-
ing.
• Wait until the appliance has cooled down completely!
• Never immerse the appliance in water for cleaning. It could pass
an electric shock or fire.
CAUTION:
• Do not use a wire brush or other abrasive objects.
• Do not use any sharp or abrasive cleaning agents.

Notes on Cookware
• Only use cooking pots / pans with a flat bottom to make
optimum use of the energy (see fig.).
• The cookware should never be smaller than the hotplate.
This causes energy to be lost. In extreme cases, the
hotplate may warp.
With the temperature control knob, you select the tempera-
ture of the hotplate according to the intended use:
Level MIN:
Off
Level 1:
Warm up
Level 2: Keep warm / continue cooking
Level 3: Continue cooking
Level 4: Roast
Level 5: Parboil, browning
Level MAX: Browning, rapid heating
The control lamp displays when the hotplate is heating up.
During operation it switches off and on. This is normal and
displays that the temperature is thermostatically controlled
and maintained.
End Operation
1. Set the temperature control knob to MIN.
2. Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
