ELECTRIC COOKING HOBS
Fig. 3.1
NORMAL HOTPLATE
To turn on the electric hotplate, rotate
the knob (fig. 3.1) 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.
Remember that the hotplate will continue
to produce heat for about five minutes
after it has been turned off.
RAPID HOTPLATE (red dot)
The rapid hotplate control knob is similar
to that of the normal hotplate, with 6
selectable heating positions (fig. 3.1).
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.
