Electric hotplates Before using for the first time To remove the new smell, switch the hotplates on to full power for five minutes, one by one, without placing any pans on top. Do not switch more than one hotplate on at a time. At this point it is normal to notice smoke and odours, but these will disappear over time. Caution! Do not operate the hotplates without placing pans on top, except during this initial heating phase. Operation Switching on Setting 1: low power. Setting 6 or 9 (depending on the model): full power Tip It is recommended to start cooking on full power and then to use intermediate power levels after a few minutes.
