Prior to initial use
Plug in the mains plug. Heat each heating plate without pot for approx. 10 minutes at maximum setting. Thereby, the plate
coating gets its optimal protection effect. Please do not be bothered by the slight formation of harmless smoke occurring for a
short time.
Operating the appliance
•
Each heating plate is equipped with a thermostat, which offers an infinitely variable regulation and overheating protection
at the same time.
•
Turn the rotary button to the desired power level. The corresponding pilot lamp goes out as soon as the set temperature is
reached.
•
The alternating lighting-up and going-out during operation shows the thermostatic regulation.
•
Only use pots and pans with appropriate diameter. If the pot bottom is uneven or too small, energy will be wasted.
•
Turn off your appliance in time and use the energy stored in the heating plate for keeping your food warm.
