USING THE APPLIANCE
When connected to the mains, a beep will sound and all four on/off indicators (f) will
light for approx. 2 seconds. The indicators will go out and the appliance is ready for
use.
1. Place pan on the hotplate required (1, 2, 6 or 7/8). NB: Always use a hotplate
appropriate to the size of bottom of the pan.
2. Switch the appropriate hotplate on using the on/off button (a) on the control
panel (5). The on/off indicator for the hotplate selected will come on.
• Use the heat level down (b) and heat level up (c) buttons to set heat level (1-9)
on the hotplate.
• You will always be able to see which level a hotplate is set to on the heat
indicator (e) above the setting buttons.
• The front left hotplate is divided into two zones (7 and 8). You can switch
between using the inner zone only or both using the hotplate selector (h).
3. When finished, switch off the hotplate at its on/off button. The heat indicator will
change to symbol "H"(d), which means the plate is still hot. The plate will not be
cool before the "H" symbol disappears.
Child lock
You can activate the child lock at any tome. This locks all buttons except the on/off
buttons, which can always be used to switch off the hotplates.
• Activate the child lock by pressing the child lock button (g). The button will light
and the control panel will be locked.
• Deactivate by pressing the child lock button for 3-5 seconds. The light will go
