Electrical Connection

Connected load/wattage

The hob can take up an overall load of 1500 W. Because of this high connected load it is recommended to use a separate connection protected over a 16 A safety switch.

CAUTION: Overload!

Do not use extension cables or multiple sockets as the power consumption of this device is too high for these.

Connection

• Before inserting the mains plug into the socket check whether the voltage which you intend to use corresponds to that of the machine. Please see the label on the machine for details.
• Only connect the machine to a correctly installed safety socket.

Initial Operation of the Unit

Before first use, operate the unit for 5 minutes to remove the protective coating of the hotplate. Set the thermostatic controller to MAX.

NOTE:

Occurrence of light smoke and odours is normal with this procedure. Take care of suitable ventilation.

Using the Hotplate

Switching on/off

The unit is switched on with the thermostatic controller. The unit is switched off when the thermostatic controller is set to MIN.

Notes for cooking utensils

- For optimum use of energy, use only pots/pans with a flat bottom (see Fig.).

- The cooking utensil never should be smaller than the hot-plate. This wastes energy. In extreme cases, the hotplate can become distorted.

Use the thermostatic controller to select the temperature of the hotplate according to the purpose:

Notch 1: Warming up
Notch 2: Warming up/simmering
Notch 3: Simmering
Notch 4: Frying
Notch 5: Parboiling, browning
Notch MAX: Browning, quick heating

NOTE:

The pilot lamp indicates the heating up of the hotplate. It is switched on and off during operation. This is normal and indicates that the temperature is controlled and maintained by the thermostatic controller.

Switching Off

• Set the thermostatic controller to MIN.
• Remove the mains plug from the socket.
• Let the unit cool down before storing it.

WARNING: Hazard of burns!

Because of the heat radiated during cooking, dangerously high temperatures may occur at the cooking zone after the cooking cycle.
