To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control
knob to the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered 0 – 6
0 – OFF
1 – Minimum
6 – Maximum.
The hob has two types of hotplates:
Normal Hotplates
We recommend the plates are switched to
maximum (6) for a short while to boost the plate,
and then adjusted to the required setting.
Rapid Hotplate (Front left)
The rapid hotplates indicated by a red spot, will
heat up more quickly than a normal plate.
Over a period of time the red spot may
disappear, this will not affect the performance
of the hotplate.
It is important to note that the hotplate
may
smoke
and
produce
unpleasant odour when used for the first
time. This is quite normal and will disappear
after some time.
Main pilot light
This light will illuminate when any of the hotplate
knobs are turned on and remains lit while the
hotplates are in use.
Do not put anything on the hob that is
liable to melt.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates
are given in the following table:
