• • MOST SUITABLE COOKWARE TO
BE USED WITH THE ELECTRIC
PLATE (depending on model)

SWITCHING ON THE ELECTRIC
• •
PLATE (depending on the model)
Position the knob on the marking that
corresponds to the desired type of cooking
(Fig. 01) (see cooking guide at the end of this
guide). The cooking zone's power indicator
lights up.
Upon first use, allow the plate to heat up with
no cookware at maximum power for 3
minutes to harden the coating.
Tip
— Use cookware of an appropriate
size: the diameter of the bottom of the
cookware should be equal to or greater
than the diameter of the electric cooking
plate (Fig. 02).
— When cooking is nearly finished, turn the
knob to the "O" off position to take
advantage of the heat accumulated in the
plate.
— Use a lid on your cookware as often as
possible to reduce the loss of heat by
evaporation.
Warning
Do not operate an electric cooking
plate without cookware (except during
initial use) or with an empty pot.
Warning
The electric plate will remain hot for a
certain time after the knob has been turned
to the "O" position. Do not touch this zone
because there is a risk of burning.
