Start up
Before using the appliance for the fi rst time,
let it heat up for approximately 3 minutes
at maximum power (but without using a
pot or saucepan), while ensuring suffi cient
ventilation. Th is will help to 'burn in' the
protective coating which safeguards the hot-
plate against corrosion. During this process,
a slight smell and a little smoke may be
emitted. Th is is normal and will only last for a
very short time. Ensure suffi cient ventilation.
Clean the appliance aft erwards as described
in section General care and cleaning) below.
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 fl at bottoms.
Most suitable
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.
