PROPER USE OF THE
ELECTRIC HOTPLATE
When the pan comes 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.
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 hot-
plate: always use a pan or suitable
container.
An indicator light located on the control
panel signals that the hotplate is operat-
ing.
Caution! the cooking hob becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
