While using the electric hotplate, you
must:
avoid keeping it on without something
on it;
avoid pouring liquids on it while it is
hot;
use flat-bottomed (electric hotplate
type) pots and pans only
use cooking receptacles which cover
as much of the surface of the hotplate
as possible.
to save electricity, use lids whenever
possible.
never cook food directly on the hotpla-
te: always use a pan or suitable contai-
ner.
An indicator light located on the control
panel signals that the hotplate is operat-
ing.
