turn the knob to the required setting for cooking.

Automatic start radiant plate
This function is on the front lh radiant plate. The
automatic thermostat on this radiant plate is activated
when the knob is se t anywhe re b etwee n 1 and 7. To
avoid the risk of fat fires at higher temperatures the
thermostat function is not active on between positions 8
and 12. The thermostat automatically switches from high
starting temperature to lower holding temperatures as
cooking proceeds so there is no need to turn the knob
from t he starting position to a lower heat position. If you
wish t o use t his functio n, positio n the knob between 1
and 7 and pull it gently outwards. If the knob is
inadvertently pulled outwards or if you have set the
function and want to cancel it, reset the knob to 0. If you
select the wrong setting, just correct it by repositioning
the knob on the required setting. Starting temperature
will be automatically adapted to the new setting.
