THE HOT PLATE
A 7 positions commutator controls the standard hot plate. Each
position corresponds to a permanent and progressive temperature
according to the marks 1,2,3,4,5 and 6.
The self-protecting hot plate, with a red dot in the centre, is also
controlled by a 7 positions commutator. An internal thermostat
cuts off of the power supply if there is any abnormal heating, if
for example, a hot plate is working without a pan on it.
Before using the electrical hot plate for the first time, let it
heat up for a few minutes, without a pan, at maximum temperature
to allow the protective coating to harden.
HOW TO USE :
• For best results, it is advisable to start on the maximum heat
"6" and then turn back to an intermediate temperature taking
into account the type and volume of the food.
• An indicator light comes on to show that the hot
plate is operating.
Different temperature settings : below are a few examples
which are given as guidelines.
When you become more familiar with the appliance, you will be
able to choose settings to suit your own personal tastes and
requirements.

To obtain the best results from your appliance it is important to
observe the following :
• Use thick, flat-based cooking vessel: a completely flat base
prevents overheating to certain parts which causes food to stick.
Thick metal allows for good heat distribution.
• Make sure that the base of the pan is dry: this will prevent sticking
to the hot plate caused by moisture.
• Use pans with a diameter large enough to completely cover the
hot plate, otherwise energy will be wasted and any spillages will
cause the hot plate to become stained and will become difficult
to maintain (rust, etc...)
• Never leave a hot plate switched on without a pan on it as it can
be damaged, which would reduce its efficiency.
• When the hot plate is hot, avoid any contact with materials made
of plastic or aluminium foil.
Caution: the heating surfaces clearly get hot while operating,
so make sure that small children are kept well away from the
hob.
