Rapid type elements (marked by a red dot)
o
This hob has one rapid heat element that is of a higher w att age, thermosta ti cally controlled.

This element is designed speci fi cally to rapidly heat food/liquid before transferring to other elements or for use with
cooking applica ti ons that require short term high heat.

not lesser than the diameter of the hea ti ng plates. Make sure the base of your pan is smooth and sits fl at against the
surface.
o
Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
o
Always li ft t he pots o ff the electric cooktop to prevent scratching the surface.
o
Care must be taken that fl uids do not spill on the electric plates.

Never leave the elements on without pans on them or with empty pans, and never use the tops to heat the room.
Switch on the plates a
