Start up

Before using the appliance for the first time, let it heat up for approximately 3 minutes at maximum power (but without using a pot or saucepan), while ensuring sufficient ventilation.

Operation

• Always place a pot / saucepan on the hot-plate before the appliance is switched

on.

• Ensure that the pot is clean and dry on the outside. Do not use stain covered pots / saucepans.
