USE

WARNINGS:
When the plate is switched on for the first time, or if it has remained unused for a long period, it should

be dried for 30 minutes on switch position n° 1. This will eliminate any moisture that may have been
absorbed by the insulating material.

To correctly use the appliance, remember:

- To place a pan on the plate before switching this on.

- To always use pans with flat and very thick bottoms (see fig. 3).

- To never use pans that are smaller than the plate diameters.

- To dry the bottom of the pan before placing it on the plate.

- Correctly preserve the plate after use by treating it with special products, easily available on the market.
This will keep the surface of the plate clean and bright. The operation will also prevent the formation
of rust. Never allow children to play near the appliance when using the plates. Check that the pan handles
are positioned correctly. The user should never leave the appliance unattended when cooking with
easily inflammable oil and fat.

- The plates will remain hot for a long period of time even after use. Never touch them with the hands
or other objects in order to prevent scorching.

- If the appliance has a glass lid, this could shatter when the cooker becomes hot. Always disconnect
all the plates before closing the lid.

- Immediately disconnect the appliance from the electricity main as soon as cracks are noted on the
surfaces of the plates.
