Switch on the electric hotplates by turning the knob to
the position required.
Once the food is boiling turn down the power
accordingtotheheatingintensityrequired.
The hotplate will continue to give out heat for 5
minutes after it has been switched off.
The features of these electric hotplates, which are fitted
with a heating limiter, allow:
− rapid reaching of the temperature
− maximum use of the power with flat-bottomed pans
− limitation of the power if the pan is unsuitable.
AKR 024 – AKR 010
The hotplate temperature is adjusted by a 7-position
changeover switch.
The numbers from 1 to 6 indicate the operating
positions with temperature increasing with the number.
AKR 012
A power regulator allows continuous adjustment of the
temperature of the electric hotplates from position 1
(minimum temperature) to 12 (maximum temperature.

GLASS CERAMIC COOKTOP
The cooktop’s glass ceramic surface allows rapid
vertical heat transmission from the heating elements
under the cooktop to the pans on it.
The heat does not propagate horizontally and thus the
cooktop remains “cold” just a few centimetres away
from the cooking zone.
The two cooking zones are indicated by two circles
drawn on the glass ceramic surface.
Before switching on the cooktop make sure that it is
clean.
ATTENTION
During and after use of the electric hotplates
the coo top becomes hot.
Keep children away.
