SOLID PLATES Red dot plates • Plates featuring a red dot in the centre are high speed, high wattage plates for increased performance • For your safety these plates are fitted with thermal limiters. Should a plate be accidentally switched on and left unattended, the limiter will reduce the power output of the plate and minimise the risk of overheating and the possibility of fire. Caring for Solid Plates • Before using the plates for the first time, switch them on for about 4 minutes at the highest setting.
CERAN SMOOTH TOP WARNING In the unlikely event of sustaining accidental damage and cracking, switch off the appliance at the mains to avoid electric shock and have the panel replaced before further use. Plate controls—variable • Select the heat level by turning the plate control knob to the required setting. You may select any setting, even between numbers. 1= low, 4 = medium and 8 = high. • The illuminated display will glow and shortly thereafter the hot surface indicator light on the hob will glow.
