Prior to first use
Before using the appliance for the first time, you should proceed as follows: carefully unpack the hob and remove all packaging material and any promotional stickers. Keep the packaging (plastic bags and cardboard) out of the reach of children. After unpacking the appliance, check it for external damage that may have occurred during transport. Place the hot plate on a sturdy, flat and heat-resistant surface. Clean the hot plate with a slightly damp cloth. The cook plate(s) is/are provided with a protective layer that must be removed prior to first use. This is done by turning on the cook plate at maximum level for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Light smoke may form due to the protective layer burning off the cook plate. After removing the protective layer you can switch off the cook plate or start using it.
Use
Make sure the thermostat button is on the «MIN» position before the appliance is switched on. Insert the plug in the socket. Turn the thermostat knob to the right, to the required position. The accompanying indicator led will light up. Position «MIN» of the cook plate is the lowest position and position «MAX» is the highest position.Use a low position [ MIN to 4 ] for simmering and a higher position [ 5 tot MAX ] for boiling and frying. The thermostat button is a stepless control.MIN = low 1-4 = keep warm-simmer5 = boiling and frying MAX = high It takes approximately 10 minutes for the cook plate to reach maximum temperature (on the maximum setting of the thermostat knob). When the temperature that belongs to the set position is reached, the indicator led switches off. After a drop in temperature, heat transfer to the pan, the thermostat switches on again. The indicator led will light up again. Due to the construction of the hot plate, it remains hot for some time after switching off. This residual heat can be used to keep the food warm for a short period of time.

Prior to cleaning, always switch off the appliance and remove the plug from the wall socket. Allow the hot plate to cool down before cleaning it with a damp cloth. The base unit can also be cleaned with a damp cloth or sponge. Do not use abrasives or other aggressive cleaning agents.
