WARNING:
•
When operating the hotplate for the first
time, or after it has not been used for a
prolonged period of time, it is necessary
to eliminate any humidity which may
have accumulated around the electrical
elements of the plate. To do this,
operate the hotplate on its lowest setting
for about 20 minutes.
• Never operate a hotplate without pans
on. Otherwise, form defects may occur
on the cooktop.
• Only use flat-bottomed pans with thick
bases.
• Make sure the bottom of the pan is dry
before placing it on a hotplate.
• When a hotplate is in operation, make
sure that the pan is centred correctly
on it.
• Never use a pan with a smaller or larger
diameter than that of the hotplate as this
will waste energy.
