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.
Read these instructions attentively
before using your cooking plate.
Preparation for Use
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.
 The mains cable must not be
permitted to touch any part of the
appliance and must be kept out of
the reach of children.

work surfaces and out of the reach
of children and people in sensitive

 Do not attempt to move the
appliance until completely cooled
down nor whilst pans are stood on

 Care must be taken when using oil
or fat for cooking. Do ensure
overheating does not occur, by
maintaining close supervision at all
times.
