To operate the plates, turn the knob to the desired temperature setting (please refer to the cooktop instructions). Note: the yellow indicator light on the panel switches

on every time one of the hotplates is in operation. Important:

• When using the hotplate for the first time, operate it for 3 minutes approx., turning the control knob to the highest number (6).

• Never operate the hotplates without anything on them.

• We recommend the use of utensils with thick, flat bases, specially designed for electric cooking.

The red thermostat indicator light switches on.

• When the required temperature is reached, the red thermostat indicator light switches off.

End of cooking cycle:

• Return the knobs to the OFF position (0 - •).

• The diameter of the base of pots and pans must be the same or slightly greater than that of the hotplate.
