Limitations on griddle use
A few precautions are necessary if you wish
to use a griddle:
• Griddles should be placed inside the
perimeter of the hob and should not
overlap this.
• leave a gap of at least 160 mm
between the edge of the griddle and the
side wall;
• if one of the burners close to the wooden
rear wall is an ultra-rapid burner, leave a
gap of at least 160 mm between this
wall and the edge of the griddle;
• do not allow the burner flames to extend
beyond the edge of the griddle;
• Never use the griddle for more than
40 minutes.
• When using aluminium griddles with
Teflon non-stick coating, these should be
pre-heated empty for a maximum of
5 minutes in order to avoid damage to
the appliance and the coating. After
pre-heating, place the foodstuffs on the
griddle to cook them; do not exceed
40 minutes of total use for the griddle.
Use
Using the electric hot plate
Improper use
Risk of damage to the appliance
• Unless using for the first time, or in order
to get rid of accumulated moisture after a
prolonged period of inactivity, the plate
should not be switched on without
placing a pan on the surface.
• Use pans with a smooth, thick base.
• Never use pans that are smaller than the
plate.
• Dry the bottom of the pan before putting
it down on the plate.
• Do not place sheets of aluminium foil
directly on the surface of the plate
Improper use
Risk of injury
• When cooking foods with oil and fat,
which are highly inflammable, do not
move away from the plate at any point
during the cooking period.
• Even after use, the plates will remain hot
for a long time: to avoid burns do not
place your hands or other objects on
top of them.
• As soon as you notice a crack on the
surface of the plates, immediately
disconnect the appliance from the mains
supply and contact the nearest
authorised technical assistance centre.
