Non-slip feet add stability, and the appliance is compatible with standard wall sockets.

How to use

Place the hot plate on a stable, heat-resistant surface and ensure the non-slip feet sit firmly. Connect the appliance to a suitable mains socket. Use the large rotary dials to set the desired temperature for each cooking zone independently; the red indicator light will illuminate when a zone is heating. Use appropriately sized pots or pans for each plate and monitor cooking; turn the dials to the off position and unplug the unit after use. Allow the plates and housing to cool before cleaning.

Recommendations

Use cookware with flat, stable bases that match the plate diameter for best heat transfer. Do not immerse the unit in water; clean with a damp cloth after it has cooled. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid placing flammable items near the appliance while in use.
