Energy saving tips
. The diameter of the saucepan must be
the same or slightly larger than that of the
electric hotplate. Never use a pan which
is smaller than the electric hotplate.
. Use flat-bottomed pans only.
. Preferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower heat.
. Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water to reduce cooking times.
When using an electric hotplate for the first time or after a long period of disuse, turn
the knob to 1 and let it heat for about 20 minutes to eliminate any possible moisture
absorbed by the internal insulating material.
USE OF PLATES WITH DOUBLE CIRCUIT ENERGY REGULATOR
The plate is controlled by an energy regulator.
1) To activate the first circuit, rotate the knob from 1 to 11.
2) To activate the second circuit, rotate the knob past the
number 11, then repositioning on the required number.
To return to single-circuit operation, reset the knob to zero
then to the number required.
A warning light on the control panel will inform you if the
cooking area is on or off.
Attention
Although the hob surface is very tough, it is certainly not unbreakable and it can be
damaged, especially if pointed or hard objects fall on it with a certain force.
Do not use the hob if the surface is broken or cracked; contact the assistance
service immediately.
