b) the right hot-plate with a heating surface of 155mm dia. and a wattage of
1000W.
c) total power consumtion: 2500 watts.
• Each hot-plates is connected to a thermostat and an indicator lamp.
• The indicator lamp lights up when the appropriate hot-plate is switched on.
• The temperature of the hot-plate can be infinitely adjusted by the thermostat up
to max. 500°c.
in order to remove the invisible protective foil from the hot-plate, you must heat up
the hot-plate without a saucepan on it for about five minutes at max. heat. You need
not be worried about the slight development of fumes and smoke. While heating up
for the first time air the room thoroughly.
Cooking utensils: principally you should only use saucepans and frying-pans
designed for electric cookers with an appropriate diameter. if the surfaces of the
pans are uneven ot too small proper functioning cannot be guaranteed and energy
is wasted.
HOw TO USE THE AUTOMATIC CONTROL
the incorporated control regulates the temperature of the hot plate by switching it on
and off within short intervals.
adhere to the following approximate values for achieving the desired temperature:
• keeping warm and warming up: stages 1 and 2
• steaming, stewing, boiling:
stages 3 and 4
• frying, roasting:
stages 5 and 6
the automatic hot-plate has the following advantages over conventional hot-plates:
it can be heated up with maximum energy and keeps the desired temperature with
minimum energy without being readjusted. Furthermore, overheating of the hot-plate
can thus be prevented.
CLEANING
Wipe the surface of the hot-plate when cold with a damp cloth. do not use abrasives.
do not dip the appliance into water.
FOR THE SAKE OF CLEAN ENVIRONMENT
do not simply throw the packaging material or old appliances away, but hand them
in to recycling services. ask your local authorities or the appropriate local agency for
further details concerning recycling.

• The plaug should be pulled: after use, before cleaning and in the event of
malfunctioning.
• Never dip the appliance into water. Also protect cable against moisture.
• Children do not realize the dangers which can arise when working with electrical
appliances. therefore they should only be allowed to use electrical appliances only
under supervision. special care should be taken in the presence of children.
• do not pull at the mains cable for disconnecting appliance from the mains supply.
• If the appliance or the mains cable show any visible signs of damage they should
be examined by trained personnel or by customer service as special equipment
is required in this case.
• We are excluded of liability for all damages that may arise if the device is used for
purposes other than originally intended or if it is used inappropriately.
