Start Using Your Appliance
Before first use, switch on one hotplate at a time for 5 minutes at the maximum setting. This will help to
eliminate any new smell that exists and evaporate any humidity that has formed on the heating elements during
transit.
Control Knobs
All operations are performed by means of the 4 control knobs that are located on the right hand side of the
cooktop.
The control knobs can be turned either clockwise or anti-clockwise to select a heating level. The numbers
around the outside of each control knob indicates the power level that you have set the hotplate to.
A marking to the bottom of each control knob, indicates which hotplate it controls.
Turn the control knob of the hotplate that you wish to cook on, clockwise or anti-clockwise until it reaches the
power level that you desire.
Each hotplate can be adjusted between 1 and 6. 1 being the lowest temperature setting and 6 being the
highest temperature setting.
When you have finished cooking, make sure that you turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the 0 position.
Cooktop Guidelines
The first few times the cooktop is used, it may give off an acrid, burning smell. This smell will disappear
completely with repeated use.
The hotplates are fitted with cooking areas of different diameter and power. The positions where the heat will
radiate from are clearly marked on the cooktop. The saucepans must be positioned exactly on these
hotplates for efficient heating to occur. Pans should have the same diameter as the hotplate that they are
being used on.
