Electric hotplates
Before using for the first time
To remove the new smell, switch the hotplates on to full
power for five minutes, one by one, without placing any
pans on top. Do not switch more than one hotplate on at
a time. At this point it is normal to notice smoke and
odours, but these will disappear over time.
Caution! Do not operate the hotplates without placing
pans on top, except during this initial heating phase.
Operation
Switching on
Setting 1: low power.
Setting 6 or 9 (depending on the model): full power
Tip It is recommended to start cooking on full power and
then to use intermediate power levels after a few
minutes.
Switching off
Residual heat
The electric hotplates can be switched off slightly before
the end of the cooking time. The residual heat will enable
you to continue cooking for several minutes, thus saving
energy.
Suggestions
The following suggestions are intended as a guide only.

large quantities of liquid,
