Electric Hotplate
To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control
knob to the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered 0 – 6
0 – OFF
1 – Minimum
6 – Maximum.
We recommend the plate is 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.
Before closing the lid ensure the control
knobs are off.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates
are given in the following table:
