* The electric hotplates should be cleaned

using soapy water and a non-abrasive

scourer. If, after cooking, you notice that

the electric hotplate’s stainless steel rim
or the cooker’s surround are yellowing
slightly, you can counter this by using
lemon, vinegar, dilute amonia or any
product containing dilute ammonia.

* If liquids spill onto the hotplate, they

should be quickly removed using a
cloth. Never leave them to be burned on
the hotplate, for this will reduce heat
transmission considerably.

* If the hotplate is not going to be used for

some time, it should be oiled so that the

surface shines and rusting is avoided.

* Remember that the hotplate will have a

longer life if, where possible, moisture
and excessive temperatures are avoided.

* Steam-based appliances should not be

used to clean the hob.

Do not clean the hotplates while

they are still hot.

Operating the glass

ceramic hotplates

The glass ceramic hob’s hotplates are
controlled by a switch with seven posi-
tions. To get different levels of power, all
you need to do is to turn the appropriate
knob and set it to the position you want.

The pan should be placed on the hotplate
before ignition.

The power corresponding to each of the
switch’s positions is as follows:

Residual heat indicator

When a heating area reaches a tempera-
ture of more than 60±15ºC the correspon-
ding residual heat indicator comes on, and
stays on even if the control

is set to zero until the temperature drops.
However, care should always be taken
with the temperature of the cooking area
because there is a possibility, albeit remo-
te, that the indicator will fail and that the
temperature in that area will not be shown.

There is an indicator light on the same
control panel that shows whether one or
more hotplates are in operation.

Rectangles marked on the control panel
show which hotplate each control is linked to.

Model VM/30 2P T has a further control, a
timer, which limits the degree to which the
