Important:
Before using the hob for the first time, it is necessary to burn off
the appliance to dry off the plates and remove any protective coatings that may
still be on the plates. To do this, boil a saucepan of water on each plate for
about 10 minutes. There may be a strong odour and a light smoke visible dur-
ing this process. This will cease when the process is complete.
1. Make sure that all the controls are turned to zero.
2. Switch on the electricity.
3. Turn the knob for the ring you require. The element will become hotter as you
select a higher number. A little practice will help you to estimate the setting
required for different purposes.
4. Always use a flat bottomed saucepan which has a base as similar to the
diameter of the hotplate as possible. Ensure that the bottom of the pan you are
using is dry.
5. Never switch the hotplate on without any saucepans on top. This will cause
heat to travel along the spillage tray causing the control panel to heat up and
may also cause subsequent damage to adjacent worktops.

Never cook food directly on the hotplate: always use a pan or suitable
container.
