Operation
Electric Hotplates
To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to the required heat
setting.
The control knob is numbered 1 - 3
0 - OFF
1 - Minimum
3 - Maximum.
The hob has four rapid hotplates. The rapid hotplates are indicated by a red dot, and will
heat up more quickly than a normal plate. As the red dots are painted on the plate, they may
deteriorate during use and even disappear completely after a period of time. This will not
affect the performance of the hob.
It is important to note that the plate may smoke and produce a slightly unpleasant odour
when used for the first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after a short while.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are given in the following table.
