Start up
Before using the appliance for the first time,
let it heat up for approximately 3 minutes at
maximum power, while ensuring sufficient
ventilation. This will help to ‘burn in’ the
protective coating which safeguards the hot-
plate against corrosion. During this process,
a slight smell and a little smoke may be

emitted. This is normal and will only last for
a very short time.
Clean the appliance afterwards as described
in section General care and cleaning below.
Operation
- Always place a pot / saucepan on the hot-
plate before the appliance is switched on.
- Ensure that the pot is clean and dry on
the outside. Do not use stain cov-ered
pots / saucepans.
-
To prevent damage to the hot-plate, only
use pots / saucepans with flat bottoms.
Most suitable are pots specifically
designed for use on electric plates (see
picture I).
- Always make sure that the pot /
saucepan used is of at least the same di-
ameter as the plate; this minimises the
loss of heat and prevents the plate from
being damaged as a result of uneven heat
distribution.
Thermostat setting
6: Pre-cooking and quick frying
4-5: Regular cooking, frying
3-4: Simmering
Set the thermostat knob to the ‘●’ position
after use. To ensure that the appliance is
completely switched off, always remove the

General care and cleaning
●Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
●To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the appliance with water and do
not immerse it in water.
