Table shows the correspondence between the position indicated on the knobs and the use for which the plates advised. Before using the hot plates for the first time, you should heat them at maximum temperature for approximately 4 minutes, without any pans. During this initial stage, their protective coating hardens and reaches its maximum resistance. The green pilot lamp (H) This lights up when an electric plate is turned on.
