Operation of the electric plates
The electric plates can be standard or rapid type. The rapid type plates are
distinguished by a red mark at the centre. According to your needs, the heat of the
plates can be adjusted by turning the knobs either clockwise or anti-clockwise.
Rapid type elements (marked by a red dot)

controlled and contains built in thermal cut out protection.

to other elements or for use with cooking applications that require short term high
heat.

to half the rapid heat power once full heat has been achieved.

use the other elements.
