Safety advices for using the appliance:

WARNING: Hazard of injury and burns!

Casing and heating plate are getting hot during use and firstly stay hot after switch-off!

Thus, work with caution:

• We recommend using pot cloths and appropriate cooking cutlery!
• Do not use the appliance's upper side as depositing rack or working top as it will get hot when operating the appliance! As protection against fire, do generally not put objects made of paper, plastic, fabric or other inflammable material on hot surfaces!
• Note: We recommend using only the original pot. It has a bottom especially designed to prevent it from sliding. This pot cannot be used with normal hot plates! For hygienic reasons cook out the pot with some water prior to first usage.
• Otherwise only use pots with an even, level bottom and the appropriate diameter. Always keep heating plate and pot bottom clean and dry.
• Do not use any cooking pots consisting of plastic, inferior china, enamel or aluminium foil

• Note: During heating, the pot should be covered with a fitting lid. This will save time and energy.

• Attention! Hazard of fire! Overheated fats and oils can inflame. Therefore, food containing fats and oils may only be prepared under supervision!

• Never splash cold water on the hot heating plate!
• Appliance and accessories must have cooled completely before cleaning or moving them!
• Observe the following when setting up the appliance:

o Place the appliance on a heat-resistant, stable and even surface (no varnished surfaces, no table cloths etc.).
o Place it beyond children's reach.
o Leave a sufficient ventilation distance around the appliance to avoid damage by heat or fat splatters and to grant an unobstructed work area.
o Unhindered air supply has to be ensured.

Plug in the power plug.

Heat up the appliance without a pot for approximately 5 minutes at maximum setting. This will give maximum protection to the coating of the plate. Please disregard the slight temporary formation of harmless smoke.

Operation
