(hot plates, gas cookers, etc.).

• Open the appliance.
• Remove any packaging, stickers and
accessories from both inside and outside the
appliance.
• Lightly coat the plates with vegetable oil or
non-stick cooking spray.
Using the appliance

Check that your electrical installation is
compatible with the power and voltage
shown underneath the appliance.
Plug the appliance into an earthed socket
only.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a similarly qualified person
in order to avoid a hazard.
• Plug into outlet. Both of the indicator lights
(d) and (e) will illuminate (1).
