Normal Hotplates
We recommend the plates are switched to maximum (6)
for a short while to boost the plate, and then adjusted to
the required setting.
It is important to note that the hotplate may
smoke and produce a slightly unpleasant odour
when used for the first time. This is quite normal
and will disappear after some time.
Do not put anything on the hob that is liable
to melt. Always remove any spillage from the
surface of the lid before opening, and the
appliance should be allowed to cool before
closing the lid. After using the cooker, the lid
MUST NOT be closed until the hob and oven are
completely cold.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are
given in the following table:

electing the Correct burner
Above every knob there is a symbol for the
corresponding burner.
For good cooking results, always choose pans, which
correctly fit to the diameter of the burner used (see
figs). Choose thick, flat bottom pots.
We recommend the flame is lowered as soon as the
liquid starts boiling.
For a correct ignition always keep the burner ring and
the spark plugs clean.
