a red dot, and will heat up more quickly than a normal plate. As the red dots are painted on the plate, they may deteriorate during use and even disappear completely after a period of time. This will not affect the performance of the hob. It is important to note that the plate may smoke and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used for the first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after a short while.
For the correct use of the hotplates For better efficiency of the electric hotplates and lower electricity consumption: • switch on the hotplates only after placing the pots on them. • For cooking on the electric hotplates it is advisable to use triple-bottom pots of the same width as the cooking zone, or slightly larger (Figure). • Do not use wet pots on the electric hot-plates, and do not place wet lids on the switched off hot-plates, because the moisture and condensate could damage them.
• • • Do not leave a hotplate switched on without a pot or with an empty pot. Do not place a pot on a cold hotplate or leave it to cool on a switched-off hotplate. This could cause damaging condensation to form. For faster cooking and to avoid heat dispersion, it is advisable to use flatbottomed pots, to ensure maximum contact of the bottoms with the cooking zone. • Take care never to lean or reach over a hot electric plate.
Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the electricity supply. This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with a steam cleaning machine. The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool.
