To eliminate the new-appliance smell, leave the electric
hotplate switched on in position 4 without cookware for
15 minutes. During initial operation, smoke and odours
may be released but these will disappear over time.
:
Warning – Risk of harm to health!
When heating up the hotplate for the first time, vapour is
released which may lead to irritation of the mucous
membranes. During this process, ensure that the
kitchen is well ventilated. Keep children, pets and
particularly vulnerable people away from the room.
Caution!
Do not operate the hotplates without placing pans on
top, except during this initial heating phase.
Important information about your electric
hotplate
If the diameter of the pot or pan base is not the same
as that of the hotplate or if the pan base is not flat,
energy will be used unnecessarily. Any overflowing
liquid will burn on and leave stains that are difficult to
remove.
Make sure that the pot or pan base is dry.
The electric hotplate must not be switched on if there is
no pan on it.
Due to the effects of heat, the metallic hotplate ring will
discolour over time. You can remove this discolouration
by cleaning the hotplate ring using the rough side of a
sponge and a cleaning agent. When cleaning, make
sure that the sponge does not come into contact with
the hotplate.
Residual heat will still be present when the hotplate is
switched off. Keep children away from the appliance.

Make sure that the rotary knob for the hotplate is
switched off following a power cut.
When you begin cooking, we recommend turning the
control knob up to the maximum setting and then,
depending on the quantity and quality of the foods
being cooked, turn down the heat to a medium setting.
Taking advantage of the thermal inertia of the hob, the
hob can be switched off shortly before you finish
cooking. This will save energy as food will continue to
cook using the heat retained in it.
Use perfectly flat, thick bottom pans of a similar size to
the hotplate, never smaller.
Do not spill liquid on the hob's surface, or use wet pans
on it.
If prolonged use has worn away the surface of the
electric hobs, sprinkle them with a few drops of oil or
other maintenance products that are widely available.
Power control switch
The electric hob is controlled by a switch, which can be
used to choose the power required for the food you are
cooking.
To switch on the hob:
Bearing in mind the type of cooking and the quantity of
food, using the table below as a guide, turn the control
knob to the left, selecting the setting for the dish you
want to cook. The operating indicator will light up.
To switch off the hob:
Turn the control knob to the 0 setting. The operating
indicator will go out.
