Cleaning And Maintenance - Rommelsbacher RK 501 Mode D'emploi

Operation
• In case you use a model with tension selection switch (type RK 501/SU) you first have to
verify the correct setting (115 or 230 V) in accordance with the used power supply!
• The temperature of the heating plate can be regulated steplessly via the rotary selector.
Attention! The metal housing around the heating plate is getting
hot during use. Therefore, when activating the rotary selector, mind
to touch the plastic part of the housing alone.
• The integrated automatic cooking system provides for a quick heating up. The hot plate heats up with
maximum power until the selected temperature level has been reached. After that the thermostat
maintains the set temperature and also serves as a safe overheating protection.
• TIP: Switch off your appliance in time and make use of the residual heat to keep warm dishes.
