Electric hotplates
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 right)
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 a slightly 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.
Before closing the lid ensure the
control knobs are off.
Do not close the lid if the hob is hot, the
lid could be damaged.
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:
