Electric Hotplates

To switch on a hotplate, turn the

relevant control knob anticlockwise or

clockwise to the required heat setting.

The control knob is numbered 1 - 6

0- OFF

1- Minimum

6- Maximum

Rapid Hotplates

The rapid hotplates are indicated by

Before the First Use of the Appliance

Before using the appliance

remove all packaging,

including the advertising

labels and any protective

film.

When using the hob for the first

time:

1) place on all the plates a pan filled

with some water;

2) switch the plates on for about 10

minutes at “maximum” position until

water inside the pans boils;

3) then, turn the control knob to

“minumum” and allow the plates to

run for approximately 20 minutes;

4) open a window for ventilation.

During this time, the plates may

smoke a little and an unpleasant

odour may be emitted. This is

absolutely normal and it is

caused by residues of

manufacturing.

Once this operation is carried out,

let the plates to cool down, then clean

them with a soft cloth soaked in warm

water.

Operation

)

a red dot, and will heat up more quickly

than a normal plate. As the red dots are

painted on the plate, they may

deteriorate during use and even

disappear completely after a period of

time. This will not affect the

performance of the hob.

It is important to note that the

plate may smoke and produce a

slightly unpleasant odour when

used for the first time. This is quite

normal and will disappear after a

short while.

Suggestions for the correct setting of the

plates are given in the following table.

For the correct use of the hot-

plates

For better efficiency of the electric

hotplates and lower electricity

consumption:

•switch on the hotplates only after

placing the pots on them.

•For cooking on the electric hotplates

it is advisable to use triple-bottom

pots of the same width as the cooking

zone, or slightly larger (Figure).

•Do not use wet pots on the electric

hot-plates, and do not place wet lids

on the switched off hot-plates,

because the moisture and condensate

could damage them.

•If possible, place lids on the pots.

Copper or aluminium pots and pans

are not very suitable for cooking on

the electric hotplates, because they

can leave residues, stains and marks.

Likewise, meat grills in cast iron or

other alloys are not suitable for cooking

on the electric hotplates, because

they cause dangerous accumulation

of heat.

Also, the rough bottom can scratch

the cooktop and the material can

stain it. Possibly choose a meat grill in

stainless steel with triple bottom.

The use of glass containers is also

inadvisable, because they usually

have very uneven bottoms. Never use

plastic containers.

•Do not place unstable or deformed

pots on the hotplates because they

could tip over or spill their contents

and thus cause accidents.

•Pots must not enter the control zone.

•Make sure boiling liquids do not spill

onto the hotplates.

•Do not leave a hotplate switched on

without a pot or with an empty pot.

•Do not place a pot on a cold hotplate

or leave it to cool on a switched-off

hotplate. This could cause damaging

condensation to form.

•For faster cooking and to avoid heat

dispersion, it is advisable to use flat-

bottomed pots, to ensure maximum

contact of the bottoms with the

cooking zone.

•Take care never to lean or reach over

a hot electric plate. Always point pan

handles inward or over the work

surface next to the hob to avoid

accidentally knocking over a pan as

you pass by.

•Do not use the hotplate to warm the

room.

Take care when frying food in

hot oil or fat, as the overheated

splashes could easily ignite.

The stainless steel can become

tarnished if excessively

heated. Therefore prolonged

cooking with potstones,

earthenware pans or cast-iron

plates is inadvisable. Also, do

not use aluminium foil to

protect the top during use.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or

cleaning can be carried out,

you must DISCONNECT the

hob from the electricity supply.

This appliance cannot be

cleaned with steam or with a

steam cleaning machine.

The hob is best cleaned whilst it is

still warm, as spillage can be removed

more easily than if it is left to cool.

The Hob Top

Regularly wipe over the hob top

using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm

water to which a little washing up liquid

has been added. Avoid the use of the

following:

- household detergent and bleaches;

- impregnated pads unsuitable for

non-stick saucepans;

- steel wool pads;

- bath/sink stain removers.

Should the hob top become heavily

soiled, the following products are

recommended:

- For stainless steal hobs use a

proprietary stainless steel cleaner.

- For other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar

Keepers Friend.

The control knobs may be removed

by carefully pulling them upward for

easier cleaning.

Do not leave acid or alkaline

substances (e.g. vinegar, salt,

lemon juice, etc.) on the

cooktop.

The Hotplates

Spills onto the actual plate should be

removed using warm water and a soft

brush, nylon or plastic scourer. To keep

the plates looking as new, hotplate

conditioner can be purchased from most

hardware stores, e.g. "4 Hob" by

HomeCare Products (follow the

manufacturer's instruction for use).

Alternatively, wipe the plates with a

drop of olive oil on a kitchen towel to

avoid rust. It is important to note that the

plate will smoke a little and produce a

slightly unpleasant odour when next

used.

Stainless steel parts: the stainless

steel spill rings may become straw

coloured with use. Use a proprietary

stainless steel cleaner to remove this

straw discolouration. This also applies to

the area around the hotplates on

stainless steel hobs.

Failure to clean and condition

hotplates may lead to rust and

corrosion forming on the surface.
