COOKING PLATE
Dear Buyer! We congratulate you on
having bought the device under
trade name “Saturn”. We are sure
that our devices will become faithful
and reliable assistance in your
housekeeping.
Avoid extreme temperature
changes. Rapid temperature change
(e.g. when the unit is moved from
freezing temperature to a warm
room) may cause condensation
inside the unit and a malfunction
when it is switched on. In this case
leave the unit at room temperature
for at least 1.5 hours before
switching it on.
If the unit has been in transit, leave
it indoors for at least 1.5 hours
before starting operation.
PREPARATION FOR USE
Read these instructions attentively
before using your cooking plate. First
check that the voltage marked on the
product corresponds with your supply
voltage. And the wall outlet is properly
grounded.
HOW TO USE
 Select a suitable position close to an
electric socket (refer to section “Safety
in Use”).
 Having suitably positioned the
appliance, ensure the controls are in the
"0" position.
 When using the cooking plate for the
first time, the invisible protective
coating may still not be removed. It
may or may not have some smoke, but
it is normal reaction.
 Ensure there are no foreign articles
such as water or food on the heating
element before switch on.
 The cooking plates are now ready for
use.
HINTS & TIPS
 Always use flat-bottomed
saucepans/containers which make good
contact with the cooking plates. The
saucepan/containers bases should
ideally be of a similar size to the
cooking plates.
 The cooking plates have a range of
temperatures. Use the lower heat
settings ("0" to "3") for simmering and
gentle beating and the high settings
("4" to MAX) for boiling.
 Due to the cooking plates
construction, a certain amount of
residual heat will remain after switching
off. This may be used to keep some
foods warm for a short period (e.g. to
dry off rice or potatoes).
SAFETY IN USE

electrical socket but away from sources
of water.
