FAQs
Can I use this hob outdoors?
This unit is designed for indoor use only. Using it in wet or outdoor conditions can lead to electrical hazards.
What is the maximum weight the plates can support?
The plates are designed to support standard cooking pots and pans. Avoid using excessively heavy cast-iron dutch ovens that may exceed 5kg.
How do I know when the plates are ready to use?
The indicator lights show when the power is active, but the plate itself will require a few minutes of pre-heating before it reaches the maximum selected temperature.
Is it safe to leave the hob unattended?
No, you should always supervise the appliance while it is in operation to prevent fire hazards or accidents.
Can I clean the plates with water?
Do not submerge the unit in water. Use a damp cloth to clean the surface after it has completely cooled down.
Troubleshooting
The hob does not turn on even with the dial turned up.
Ensure the power plug is pushed fully into the wall outlet and the outlet is switched on. Check your home circuit breaker if other appliances in the kitchen are also off.
Food is taking too long to heat up.
Verify that your cookware has a completely flat bottom. If the base is warped, the heat transfer efficiency is significantly reduced. Also, ensure you are using the correct sized pot for the plate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is simple: place the unit on a flat, heat-resistant, and stable surface with at least 10cm of clearance on all sides for ventilation. Ensure the voltage matches the standard output of your wall socket.
Compatibility: Use pans with a flat base to avoid wobbling and inefficient heating. Avoid cast iron or heavy stones that exceed the weight capacity of the plates.
Care: Always unplug the device and allow the plates to cool completely before cleaning. Use a damp, soft cloth to wipe the surface. For stubborn spills, use a mild non-abrasive cleaner. Never submerge the unit in water or use metal scouring pads, as these can damage the finish of the hotplates.
