•
After approx. 3 minutes, switch both hotplates (1, 3) off by twisting both thermostats (5, 8)
anticlockwise back to the “
MIN
” position. Allow the hotplates (1, 3) to cool.
•
The dual hotplate is now ready for use.
6.3 How the status indicators (6, 7) work
•
The status indicators (6, 7) indicate when the relevant hotplates (1, 3) are being heated.
•
As soon as the hotplate (1, 3) reaches the selected heating level (
1/2/3/4/5/MAX
), the
status indicator (6, 7) goes out.
•
The status indicator (6, 7) comes back on again as soon as the temperature below the selected
level (
1/2/3/4/5/MAX
) and the heating is switched back on. So it is possible for the status
indicators (6, 7) to switch on and off several times while you are cooking. This is not a
malfunction.
7. Getting started
7.1 Energy-efficient cooking
•
Use pans with the same diameter as the hotplate you are using (1, 3):
Hotplate (1, 3)
Diameter
Large hotplate (1)
18.5 cm
Small hotplate (3)
15.5 cm
If pans have a smaller diameter than that of the hotplate you are using (1, 3), energy is lost.
•
Use quality pans with a thick base that sit evenly on the hotplate (1, 3). On the one hand, this
allows the heat to be conducted well from the hotplate (1, 3) to the pan, on the other hand, the
heat is retained well in the base.
•
Do not use pans with warped or uneven bases.
•
A quality pan with a good base stores the heat well, meaning in many cases the hotplate (1, 3)
can be switched off before the end of the cooking time. The residual heat of the hotplate (1, 3)
and pan base is generally enough to finish cooking the dish.
7.2 Usage
•
Place the pan and its contents on the selected hotplate (1, 3).
•
Switch the hotplate (1, 3) on by twisting the thermostat (5, 8) and select a heat setting between
“
1
” and “
MAX
”. The higher the heat setting, the faster and hotter the food is heated.
