4. Operation instructions
4.1 Before use
There is a slight smell of metal and thermal insulation when the range is heated for the
first time. This is completely normal and disappears by heating the range. Before using
the range for the first time, heat it at maximum temperature until the smell disappears.
4.2 Operation
4.2.1 Selecting cookware
You can use the same cookware on the flat-top range as on the conventional range.
To get the best benefit from the range as well as from the cookware observe the following:
• Always lift pans, do not drag.
• Use good quality flat-based cookware.
• Wait for pans to cool before putting them in cold water.
• Always ensure that pans have clean, dry bases before use.
• Ensure that pan handles are positioned safely and away from heat sources.
• Always use pan lids except when frying.
Remember that good quality pans retain heat well, so generally only low or medium heat
is necessary.
4.2.2 Using the range
Ranges intended for use aboard ships are equipped with a kettle support. Using a range
without the kettle support is prohibited.
During installation a mains switch may have been fitted near the range, often on a wall
nearby. Check that the mains switch is in the ON position.
The range is controlled with power regulators and pilot lights (see Figure “Operating pan-
el”). Start cooking on maximum power (turn the knob 3/4 rounds clockwise). When boil-
ing starts decrease the power as needed.
Do not leave the cooking zone on without any load because it then overheats, which con-
siderably decreases its operating life. By turning the cooking zone off when not needed
energy is also saved and a cooler working environment is achieved.
