ELECTRIC HOTPLATES

Never cook food directly on the
electric hotplates! Always use a
saucepan or special container.
NORMAL HOTPLATE
To turn on the electric hotplate, rotate
the knob (fig. 2.8) o the desired setting.
The numbers from 1 to 6 indicate the
operating positions with increasing num-
ber corresponding to higher temperature
settings.
When the pan comes to the boil, turn the
heat down to the level desired.
RAPID HOTPLATE (red dot)
The rapid hotplate control knob is similar
to that of the normal hotplate, with 6
selectable heating positions (fig. 2.9).
The characteristics of this hotplate,
which is also equipped with a thermosta-
tic 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.
