THE HOT PLATE
THE RAPID SELF-PROTECTING ELECTRIC HOT PLATE
This is a cast-iron hot plate, controlled by a 7 position switch.
As with the previous hot plate, each position corresponds to a
permanent and progressive temperature according to the marks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. An
internal thermostat cuts off of the power supply if there is any overheating. (If, for example,
a hot plate is working without a pan on it).

• Before using the electric hot plate for the first time, let it heat up for a few minutes,
without a pan, at maximum temperature to let the protective coating harden.
HOW TO USE :
• For best results, it is advisable to start on the maximum heat and then turn back to an
intermediate temperature taking into account the type and volume of the food.

• To stop it, turn back the knob until position "
