There are two ways to use the hotplate:

as a conventional hotplate: use a suitable frying pan. The

dimensions of the frying pan should correspond to the size of

the hotplate.

■

as a grill: place the food to be grilled directly on the glass

ceramic.

Notes

■

Before grilling, lightly brush the grill with oil.

■

Dry marinated foods before grilling.

■

Do not use sugar or food with a high sugar content, e.g.

honey, syrup, ketchup, barbecue sauces, bananas or dried

fruits. They damage the glass ceramic.

■

Kitchen utensils made from plastic may melt and damage the

glass ceramic. Kitchen utensils made from metal can scratch

the glass ceramic. Only use kitchen utensils made from

wood.

Do not cover the grill with aluminium foil.
