OPERATING THE HOT PLATE
3.2.1
OPERATING HINTS
Keep the plate clean. Dirty plate does not transfer all power.
Except first use, turn on the plate only after putting a pot on it.
Never put wet vessels on the plate as moisture causes corrosion.
Never sprinkle a hot plate with cold water.
Switch the plate off a few minutes before finishing the cooking as the plate accumulates heat and
remains hot for some time after switching it off.
Do not use the plate to prepare food wrapped in aluminium foil or in plastic containers. Do not put
plastic plates or other objects on the plate.
