INSTALLATION

After removing the packing materials, check the integrity of the appliance; if you are unsure, do not use it and ask for qualified professional help. The packing materials (plastic bags, polystyrene foam, nails, etc.) must be kept out of the reach of children because they are potential sources of danger; but dispose of them according to current regulations, in dedicated containers for differentiated collection.
- Before connecting the appliance, check that the voltage shown on the data plate matches that of your electricity (230V 50Hz) and that the electric plug is grounded. In the event of incompatibility between the electric outlet and the plug of the heater, have the outlet replaced with another more suitable type by professionally qualified personnel, who will make sure that the section of the wires of the outlet is appropriate for the absorbed power of the heater. Check that the mains are not connected equipment; high absorption to prevent overloading and fire

risks. Check that the mains are not connected equipment; high absorption to prevent overloading and fire risks. In general, the use of adapters or extension cords is not recommended; if their use is indispensable, they must conform to existing safety standards and their current capacity (amperes) must not be less than the maximum of the heater.

Before each use, verify that the appliance is in good condition and that the electrical cord is not damaged: in the case of doubt, ask for professionally qualified help.
- Make sure that the cable is correctly positioned, that it is not touching hot elements or sharp edges, is not wound around the utensil, is not twisted up on itself or in the way to prevent the utensil from being pulled over.
- Locate the appliance far from sources of heat, inflammable materials (curtains, tapestrics, etc.), inflammable gas, explosive materials (gas cylinders, etc.) and from materials that could deform with the heat. Make sure that there is at least 40cm of free space around the appliance.
The power socket must be easy to reach so the plug can be removed quickly in case of emergency.
Use the appliance far from water or similar (like sinks and so on) or from places where it can be knocked over.
- Do not use the appliance with a timer or a programmer or with a system that can switch on the appliance automatically, to avoid risk of fire, since a fire risk exists if the heater is covered or positioned incorrectly.
- In the case of a breakdown or fault, switch off the appliance and have it checked by a professionally qualified technician; repairs made by unqualified persons can be dangerous and render void the warranty.

First use

Put a pot filled with water on the stove and let the appliance run for 10 min., in order to eliminate the protection varnish on the plate.

It is always necessary to put a pot or a saucepan on the stove: it must never run "empty".

Insert the plug into the current socket.

The thermostat knob regulates the temperature of the cooking plate; turn the knob according to the desired temperature: the cooking plate switches on (the pilot light comes on as well) and as soon as the temperature is reached, the pilot light goes out.

Always use flat-bottomed saucepans, which make good contact with the cooking plates. The saucepan bases should ideally be of the same size as the cooking plates.

When you are finished cooking, turn temperature dial to "MIN", unplug the appliance and let it cool down.

OPERATION (double cooking plate mod. TE.DKP11)

The cooking plates can be used separately (only small cooking plate or large cooking plate) or at the same time.

Insert the plug into the current socket.
