knob to the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered 0 – 6

The hob has one type of hotplate:
Normal Hotplates
We recommend the plates are switched to
maximum (6) for a short while to boost the plate,
and then adjusted to the required setting.
It is important to note that the hotplate
may smoke and produce a slightly
unpleasant odour when used for the first
time. This is quite normal and will
disappear after some time.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are
given in the following table:
