Instruction for the User

Use of electric plates

To switch on the plates, turn the relevant knob to the
required position.

Pilot lamp

The pilot light signals the connection of the electric plate.

Electric plate with 7 position
knob

The plates are regulated by a 7 position switch:
Position 0: off
Position 1: minimum disbursement of heat
Position 6: maximum disbursement of heat

In the intermediate positions, 2-3-4-5, increasing power
values are obtained.

When cooking with fats or oils maximum
care must be taken as these can self-ignite
when over-heated.

Normal and rapid plates: For best results we
advise you to initially regulate the switch to “rapid”
to accelerate the heating of the plate and then turn
the switch to the position most suitable for the
food to be cooked.

Hints and tips

Before the first use

Once the hob has been installed, it is important to remove
any protective material, which were put on in the factory.
It is important to note that the plate may smoke a little
and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used for
the first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after
a few minutes.

Practical hints

When cooking by electric, saucepans should have a thick
base and be perfectly flat in order to ensure total contact
with the plate and, consequently, perfect conduction (Fig.

1).

Occasionally, saucepans have a thin bottom and these
loose their shape over a period of time. In this manner
two of the qualities of the electric plate are lost: the even
distribution of heat and the saving of energy. Cooking time
is also lengthier. We therefore recommend that you
acquire a battery of kitchenware specifically for use with
electric plates. Furthermore, these particular saucepans
are easy to use and clean.
Recipients in heat-resistent glass (pyrex) or in oven-proof
pottery can be placed directly on the plates if their
instructions for use are followed.
As regards the size of the saucepans: for best results,
the plate and the saucepan should have the same
diameter. The diameter of the saucepan may be slightly
larger; a smaller diameter is not advised.
Never leave the plates on without a saucepan! Switch off
the plate just before the end of cooking time. The heat
accumulated by the plate will finish cooking the food and
save energy.
