Operation of the electric plates
The electric plates can be standard or rapid type. The rapid type plates are
distinguished by a red mark at the centre. According to your needs, the heat of the
plates can be adjusted by turning the knobs either clockwise or anti-clockwise.

controlled and contains built in thermal cut out protection.

to other elements or for use with cooking applications that require short term high
heat.
