• The temperature of the hot-plate can be infinitely adjusted by the thermostat up to
max. 400°C.
APPLIANCE DESCRIPTION – FA-5083-4
• The appliance features two regulatable hot-plates.
a) The left hot-plate with a heating surface of 185 mm dia. and a wattage of 1500 watts.
b) The right hot-plate with a heating surface of 150 mm dia. and a wattage of 1000 W.
c) Total power consumtion: 2500 watts.
• Each hot-plates is connected to a thermostat and an indicator lamp.
• The indicator lamp lights up when the appropriate hot-plate is switched on.
• The temperature of the hot-plate can be infinitely adjusted by the thermostat up to
max. 400°C.
In order to remove the invisible protective foil from the hot-plate, you must heat up the
hot-plate without a saucepan on it for about five minutes at max. heat. You need not be
worried about the slight development of fumes and smoke. While heating up for the first
time air the room thoroughly.
Cooking utensils:
principally you should only use saucepans and frying-pans designed for
electric cookers with an appropriate diameter. If the surfaces of the pans are uneven ot too
small proper functioning cannot be guaranteed and energy is wasted.
HOW TO USE THE AUTOMATIC CONTROL
The incorporated control regulates the temperature of the hot plate by switching it on and
off within short intervals.
Adhere to the following approximate values for achieving the desired temperature:
• keeping warm and warming up: stages 1 and 2
• steaming, stewing, boiling:
stages 3 and 4
• frying, roasting:
stages 5
The automatic hot-plate has the following advantages over conventional hot-plates: it can
be heated up with maximum energy and keeps the desired temperature with minimum
energy without being readjusted. Furthermore, overheating of the hot-plate can thus be
prevented.
CLEANING
Wipe the surface of the hot-plate when cold with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasives. Do
not dip the appliance into water.
FOR THE SAKE OF CLEAN ENVIRONMENT
Do not simply throw the packaging material or old appliances away, but hand them
in to recycling services. Ask your local authorities or the appropriate local agency for
further details concerning recycling.

allow an unobstructed air-circulation. Never place the appliance or supply cable on hot
surfaces. Nor should the appliance be placed or operated in the vicinity of exposed gas
flames.
• Make sure that there is no contact between the supply cable and hot parts of the
appliance.
• The appliance becomes hot during operation. Therefore be careful not to touch any of

• Over-heated fats and oils can ignite. Food prepared with oils and fats (e.g. french fries)
should therefore always be prepared under supervision.
• As long as the appliance is hot – even when not connected to the mains – it should be
under supervision. Nor should it be under supervision. Nor should it be transported
with a saucepan on the hot-plate – danger of burning oneself. Allow the appliance to
cool down fully before cleaning and storing away.
• The plug should be pulled: after use, before cleaning and in the event of malfunctioning.
• Never dip the appliance into water. Also protect cable against moisture.
• Children do not realize the dangers which can arise when working with electrical
appliances. Therefore they should only be allowed to use electrical appliances only
under supervision. Special care should be taken in the presence of children.
• Do not pull at the mains cable for disconnecting appliance from the mains supply.
• If the appliance or the mains cable show any visible signs of damage they should be
examined by trained personnel or by customer service as special equipment is required
in this case.
• We are excluded of liability for all damages that may arise if the device is used for
purposes other than originally intended or if it is used inappropriately.
• If there is crack on the heating plate, immediately cut off the power supply and stop
usage.
• Do not operate the appliance outdoors without adequate precautions.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when the appliance is operating.
• Metallic objects such as knifes, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the hob
surface since they can get hot.
