Electric plates
Before using it for the first time, heat the electric plate
at maximum power with no receptacle for a period of
five minutes. Smoke and smells are normally given off
during this time. These will disappear with use. With the
exception of this first time, do not use your plates
without receptacles.
When you start the cooking process, you are
recommended to set the control knob to the maximum
position and then lower it to a mid position for the rest
of the process depending on the quantity and quality of
the food you are using.
You can turn the cooking plate off a little before the end
of the cooking process and make use of the heat inertia
created. This will help you save on energy bills and will
not affect the cooking process, which will continue thanks
to the heat accumulated on the plate.
Use receptacles with perfectly flat, thick bases similar
in size to the plate in use, never smaller.
