ELECTRIC HOTPLATES
To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control knob to the required heat setting. The control knob is numbered 0 � 6 0 � OFF 1 � Minimum 6 � Maximum. The hob has two types of hotplates: Normal Hotplates We recommend the plates are switched to maximum (6) for a short while to boost the plate, and then adjusted to the required setting. Rapid Hotplate (Front left) The rapid hotplates indicated by a red spot, will heat up more quickly than a normal plate. Over a period of time the red spot may disappear, this will not affect the performance of the hotplate. It is important to note that the hotplate may smoke and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used for the first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after some time. Main pilot light This light will illuminate when any of the hotplate knobs are turned on and remains lit while the hotplates are in use. Do not put anything on the hob that is liable to melt. Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are given in the following table: OFF Very Gentle Gentle Slow Medium High Fast 0 1 To keep food warm To melt butter and chocolate 2 To prepare cream-sauces, stews and milk puddings or to fry eggs 3 Dried vegetables, frozen food, fruit, boiling water or milk 4 Boiled potatoes, fresh vegetables, pâtés, soups, broths, pancakes or fish 5 Larger stews, meat roll, fish, omelettes, steaks 6 Steaks, escalopes and frying
