Connection

DANGER! Electric shock hazard!

The device can cause injuries due to improper installation!

Before installation and connecting the local power grid specification should be compared with that of the device (see rating plate). Connect the device only in case of compliance!

Connect the device only to properly installed single socket with protective terminal.

- The electrical circuit in the socket must be secured to at least 16A. Only connect the device directly to the wall socket; do not use any extension cords or power strips.

5.2 Operation

- Before the first use, clean the device according to the instructions included in section 6 „Cleaning“.

- Turn the ON/OFF knob to „OFF“ position.

- Connect the electric hot-plate to a single-phase socket.

- Place the food in a suitable cookware on the hot plate.

NOTE!

Do not use unstable dishes that may easily tip over.

Use dishes with a flat bottom only, in order to ensure total contact with the hot plate, to ensure maximum use of the generated heat.

- Turn the ON/OFF knob to the „ON“ position.

• Set the desired temperate for a selected hot plate.
• By turning the temperature regulator right you can regulate the temperature in an infinitely variable way within the range from „MIN“ to „MAX“.
• The orange control light comes on and goes off when the desired temperature is reached. When the temperature drops, the thermostat is activated and the hot plate starts heating again. The orange control light comes on again.

Do not touch the hot surface of the electric hot-plate nor any cookware with bare hands. Always use protective hands or pot holders!

- If the device is no longer used, set the temperature regulator and ON/OFF knob in „OFF“ position and disconnect it from the power supply (pull the plug from the socket!).

The device is equipped with protection against overheating. In the event of overheating, the protection mechanism comes on and the device is turned off. If this occurs, remove the device's plug from its socket and leave it to cool. The device can be reconnected after it has cooled, as described above.

6. Cleaning

CAUTION!

Disconnect the unit from the power supply (unplug!) before cleaning. The unit is not designed to be rinsed with running water. Do not use a pressure washer to clean the device! Be careful and do not let the water into the unit.
