When using the electric plate, bear in mind that:
The plate must never be operated with no pan in place.
Operating the plate without a pan,
especially for lengthy periods, may cause fires.
Try to avoid spilling liquids on the plates when hot.
Use only flat-bottomed pans of a diameter which covers the entire surface of the plate.
Plate type
The hob may be fitted with a normal or rapid plate.
The normal plate is completely black, while the rapid plate has a red dot in the centre.
For the technical specifications, see table in page
72.
The main differences between the rapid plate and the normal equivalent are:
Higher power.
The set temperature is reached more quickly.
There is a safety device which limits the power if the pan is unsuitable.
