ONLY FOR MODELS WITH ELECTRIC HOTPLATE
PROPER USE OF THE ELECTRIC
HOTPLATE
(fig. 3.7)
When the pan comes to the boil, turn the
heat down to the level desired.
Remember that the hotplate will continue
to produce heat for about five minutes after
it has been turned off.
While using the electric hotplate, you must:
•
avoid keeping it on without something
on it;
•
avoid pouring liquids on it while it is
hot;
•
use flat-bottomed (electric hotplate
type) pots and pans only
•
use cooking receptacles which cover
as much of the surface of the hotplate
as possible.
•
to save electricity, use lids whenever
possible.
•
never cook food directly on the
hotplate: always use a pan or suitable
container.
An indicator light located close to the knob
signals that the hotplate is operating
RAPID HOTPLATE
To switch on the rapid hotplate, turn the
knob (fig. 3.6) onto the desired position;
the numbers “
1
” to “
6
” indicate the working
positions with the increase of temperature
according to the number.
Once boiling point has been reached,
reduce the input according to the heating
intensity desired, keeping in mind that the
plate will continue to heat for 5 minutes
after having been turned off.
The features of this plate, which is equipped
with a heat limiter, allow:
•
reaching the temperature rapidly
•
maximum exploitation of the input with
flat bottom pots
•
the limitation of input in the case of
unsuitable pots.
Caution! The cooking hob becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
Never cook food directly on the electric
hotplates! Always use a saucepan or
special container.
