Using the hob
Before using your hob for the first time:
Read the operating and safety instructions thoroughly
If you have not already done so, follow the steps in the “Preparation” section on page 7 to burn off the
protective film covering the plates.
Before switching on a hotplate, make sure that the selector knob you are using corresponds to the hotplate
you wish to switch on (Figure 17).
The hotplates
The hotplate power is regulated with a 7 position temperature selector knob. The control allows for the
efficient transfer of heat to the cooking pan. (Figure 18).
The selector knob can be turned in both directions:
• Anti-clockwise to increase heat
• Clockwise to decrease heat
There are symbols
to 6 marked on the knobs (Figure 18). These correspond to the heat setting of the
hotplate.
• 6 is the highest setting
•
is OFF
WARNING: If any of the hotplates become cracked, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply
and do not use until repaired by a qualified technician.
