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
· Choose a position convenient to an
electrical socket but away from
sources of water.
· The work surface must be heat
resistant, dry and approximately 75
cm high.
· A gap of at least 5 cm must be left
around the sides of the appliance,
since the sides of the appliance may
become hot during use.

permitted to touch any part of the
appliance and must be kept out of
the reach of children.
