The cook-top electric plate control knobs (P)
The cookers may be equipped with standard, fast and
automatic electric plates in various combinations (the fast
plates distinguished from the others by a red dot in the
centre, the automatic ones by a round aluminium disk at
the centre.
To avoid heat dispersion and damage to the plates,
recommend using cooking vessels with flat bottoms in
diameters which are not smaller than the plate diameter.
Table shows the correspondence between the position
indicated on the knobs and the use for which the plates
advised.
Before using the hot plates for the first time, you should
heat them at maximum temperature for approximately
4 minutes, without any pans. During this initial stage,
their protective coating hardens and reaches its
maximum resistance.
