1) SWITCHING ON THE ELECTRIC
PLATES
The hobs may be equipped with three types of
electric plates: normal, thermostat and rapid plates
indicated by a red mark. The normal plates and the
rapid plates are controlled by a 7 - position switch
(see fig. 1). The thermostat plates are controlled by
12 - position switch (see fig. 2).
Switch on the plates by turning the knob to the
required position.
A diagram is screen-printed on the front panel. This
diagram indicates to which electric plate the knob in
question corresponds (see fig. 1 - 2).
A red warning light will come on to indicate that the
plate has been ignited.
