POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

Some appliances are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug
will fit into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
properly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit,
contact a competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify
the plug in any way.
For appliances equipped with a standard plug, simply insert the plug
into the outlet without paying attention to the way you plug it.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. The use
of an extension cord is not recommended.
However, if you make use of an extension cord, care is to be
exercised in their use:

• The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least

that of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension
cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.

• The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will

not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be

USE

• Put the appliance on a stable, dry and heat resistant surface,
near a power outlet.

• The thermostat knob must be on its minimum position (MIN), and
the switch must be in off position. Make sure the it.

• Plug in the appliance.

• Before the first use, preheat the appliance for 10 minutes in order

to fix the protective coating on the heating element. To do so,
press the on/off switch. Its pilot light will come on, indicating that
the appliance is switched on. Turn the thermostat knob to its
maximum position (MAX). After 10 minutes, turn the thermostat
knob to MIN and switch off the appliance to let it cool down.
Your appliance is now ready for use.

• Always use flat-bottomed saucepans especially conceived for
electric cooking plates. The saucepan base should ideally be of
the same size as the cooking plate to avoid a waste of heat and
energy.

• Press the on/off switch. Its pilot light will come on, indicating that
the appliance is switched on.

• Turn the thermostat knob to the right until you reach the desired
temperature setting. The heating element starts heating.

• Due to the cooking plates’ construction, residual heat will remain
after switching off. This may be used to keep food warm for a
short period.

• After use, turn the thermostat knob to "MIN" and unplug the
appliance from electrical outlet.

CLEANING AND CARE

• Before cleaning, unplug the appliance and wait for it to cool
down.

• Wipe the body with moistened cloth or paper towels.

• To clean under the heating element, wait until the heating

element has totally cooled down. It is possible to lift up the
heating element partly in order to clean the surface under it with
soft damp cloth. Caution, when you lift up the heating element,
never force, as this could damage it.

• After cleaning, make sure to put the heating element back in the
correct position before using the appliance again.

• Do not clean with any abrasive scouring pad or steel wool, as this
will damage the finish.

• Do not immerse in water or any other liquid.
