The minimum diameter of the pans to be used
is 140 mm. For pans of 120 mm diameter or
less, use the small burner with the pan sup-
port supplement.
The electric hotplates are controlled by a
seven step switch. To obtain diff e rent powers
the corresponding control must be turned to
the desired setting. (See drawing 23).
The pan should be placed on the electric hot-
plate before it is switched on.
The powers corresponding to each setting of
the control knob are shown in the following
table:
Hotplate Ø 145 – 1500 W.
Control at Power
0 Disconnected
1 135 W.
2 165 W.
3 250 W.
4 500 W.
5 750 W.
6 1500 W.
These hobs have zones which become hot
during and after their use and can cause
burns.
The red-point hotplate (1,500 W) heats up
especially quickly and at its maximum power
during approximately the first five minutes.
After this time its power drops to 500 W and it
conserves the same temperature.
The control panel features a square drawing
containing circles beside each control knob,
indicating to which hotplate the control corres-
ponds.
On the same panel there is a pilot light which
indicates the operation of one or more hotplates.

When connecting the hotplate for the first
time, or if the plate has not been used in a
long time, it is necessary to dry out any humi-
dity which may have been absorbed by the
insulation. To achieve this, switch the hotplate
on, without any pan, for five minutes at power
position 2.
