R PID HOTPL TE (red dot)
The characteristics of this hotplate,
which is also equipped with a thermo-
static cut-off device, make it possible to:
– achieve the cooking temperature
rapidly
– make full use of its output power
using flat-bottomed pans
– limit the output power with unsuitable
saucepans.
To turn on the electric hotplate, rotate
the knob (fig. 3.1) on the desired setting.
The numbers from 1 to 6 indicate the
operating positions with increasing
value, corresponding to higher tempera-
tures.
When the pot contents come to the boil,
turn the heat down to the level desired.
Remember that the hotplate will contin-
ue to produce heat for about five min-
utes after it has been turned off.

PROPER USE OF THE ELEC-
TRIC HOTPL TE
While using the electric hotplate, you
must:
avoid using it without any vessel;
avoid pouring liquids on it while it is
hot;
use flat-bottomed (electric hotplate
type) pots and pans only;
use cookware which covers as much
as possible surface of the hotplate;
save electricity, by using lids whenev-
er possible;
never cook food directly on the hot-
plate: always use a pan or a suitable
container.
An indicator light located on the control
panel signals that the hotplate is operat-
ing.
