Before using the appliance, remove all the packaging and clean the
surface of the hob.
Insert the power plug into the socket.
When the appliance is being used for the first time, or if it has not been
used for an extended period of time, allow the cooking plate to operate
without containers for 5 minutes in order to dry up any residual moisture
(ventilate the room).
Each cooking zone is controlled by an adjustable thermostat (2) which
regulates the heating intensity by activating and deactivating the plate.
The warning light (3) comes on when the plate is warming up.
When it is set to 0, the plate is not powered; increase the position of the
knob to increase the heating intensity.
After using the appliance, switch it off and disconnect it from the power
supply.
Use metal pots with a flat bottom and a diameter similar to that of the
plate.
Using unsuitable cookware can cause overheating and waste of energy.
This appliance does not require any special maintenance.
Disconnect the plug from the socket and let the appliance cool down well
before cleaning it.
In order to clean the appliance, use a soft or slight damp cloth.
Never use abrasives or chemical solvents.
Clean the plate after each use; in case of residues that are difficult to
remove, use a scraper suitable for use with glass.
Do not use sharp objects to avoid damaging the plate.
NEVER IMMERSE THE APPLIANCE IN WATER.
Dry carefully the appliance before to put it back.
Periodically make sure the power cord is not cut or burnt since it is near
to the hot plate. If the cable should have been damaged, do not use the
appliance, remove the plug and contact an authorized after sales service
centre.
