How to use the electric hotplate?
•
To heat it up
Turn the knob to the point that corres-
ponds to the cooking you want to do
(See cooking table at the end of the
instruction booklet). The electric
hotplate 'on' light comes on.
The first time you use the electric hot-
plate, leave it on for 3 minutes at
maximum temperature without using
a pan to harden the surface coating.

Which pans are to be used on the
electric hotplate?
Use pans with flat bottoms that are in
complete contact with the electric hot-
plate surface:
- Stainless steel with a thick trimetal or
"sandwich" base,
- Aluminium with a thick (smooth) ba-
se,
- Enamelled steel.
Always use a pan of suitable
size: the diameter of the pan
must be larger than the diameter
of the electric hotplate.

Finish off your cooking with the knob
turned to (o). This lets you take ad-
vantage of the heat that has accumu-
lated in the electric hotplate.

Whenever possible use a cover on
your pans to avoid losing any heat by
evaporation.
- Never leave a electric hotplate turned on without a pan or with an empty pan.
- The electric hotplate stays hot for a certain time after it has been switched off in
the “O” position.
E.g., position 3
