THE HOT PLATE
THE SPEED PROTECTED HOT PLATE fitted to the mixed hob is located at the
rear left.
This is a cast-iron hot plate, controlled by a 7 position switch.
An internal thermostat cuts off part of the power supply if there is any abnormal heating.
(if, for example, a hot plate is working without a pan on it).
BEFORE USING THE ELECTRICAL HOT PLATE :
• Before using the electric hot plate for the first time, let it heat up for a few minutes,
without a pan, at maximum temperature to let the protective coating harden.
HOW TO USE :
• For best results, it is advisable to start on the maximum heat and then turn back
to an intermediate temperature taking into account the type and volume of the food.
• An indicator light comes on to show that the hot plate is operating.
• To switch off, turn the knob back to the starting point " ".
THE DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE SETTINGS :
Below are a few examples which are given as guidelines. When you become more
familiar with the appliance, you will be able to choose settings to suit your own
personal tastes and requirements.
