We recommend the plates are switched to
maximum (6) for a short while to boost the plate,
and rhen adjusted to the required setting.

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

It is important to note that the plate may
smoke and
unpleasant odour when used for the first
time. This is quite normal and will
disappear after a few minutes.

This light will illuminate when one of the
hotplates knobs is turned on and remains lit
