When first used, it is normal for the burner to give off
odours. This does not pose any risk and does not
indicate a malfunction. They will disappear in time.
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by
the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally
extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not
attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.

The dual-circuit hotplate has two usable hotplates: A
small 700 W hotplate and a slightly larger 1800 W
hotplate (provided your appliance operates at a voltage
of 230 V).
Operation
Switching on
To switch on the small hotplate:
Turn the control knob clockwise to the required
position. The power on/off indicator lights up.
To switch on the larger hotplate:
Turn the control knob clockwise to
õ
and then turn it
anticlockwise to the required heat setting.
To use the small hotplate again, turn the control knob
anticlockwise to position 0 and then switch the hotplate
on again.
Note:
It is recommended to start cooking on full power
and then to use intermediate power levels after a few
minutes.
Switching off
Turn the control knob anticlockwise to the "off" position.
The residual heat indicator switches off once the hob
has cooled down.
Residual heat
The electric hob can be switched off slightly before the
end of the cooking time. The residual heat will enable
you to continue cooking for several minutes, thus
saving energy.
Warnings
Do not allow liquids to be spilt on the surface of the
electric hob.
Do not cook with wet pans.

Use pans which are the
right size for each burner.
Do not use small pans on
large burners. The flame
must not touch the sides of
the pan.
Do not use damaged pans,
which do not sit evenly on
the hob. Pans may tip over.
Only use pans with a thick,
flat base.
Do not cook without using a
lid and make sure the lid is
properly fitted. This wastes
energy.
Always centre the pan over
the burner, not to one side.
Otherwise it could tip over.
Do not place large pans on
the burners near the control
knobs. These may be
damaged by the very high
temperatures.
Place the pans on the pan
supports, never directly on
the burner.
Make sure that the pan
supports and burner caps
are correctly positioned
before using the appliance.
Pans should be placed on
the hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob and
do not place excessive
weight on it.
