Operating The Appliance; Cleaning And Maintenance - Rommelsbacher THS 2015 Bedienungsanleitung

o Place it beyond children's reach.
o Leave a sufficient ventilation distance to all sides of the appliance to
avoid damage by heat or fat splatters and to grant an unobstructed work
area. Unhindered air supply has to be ensured.
o Do not operate the appliance in the vicinity of sources of heat (oven,
gas flame etc.) or in explosive environments, where inflammable liquids
or gases are located.
Attention! Hazard of fire! This appliance is not qualified for
installation.
• Do not use the appliance as a space heater.
• For a safe switch-off pull the mains plug.

Operating the appliance

• Prior to initial use, heat each heating plate without pot for approx. 5 minutes at maximum setting.
Thereby, the plate coating gets its optimal protection effect. Please do not be bothered by the slight
formation of harmless smoke occurring for a short time.
• Only use pots and pans with appropriate diameter. If the pot bottom is uneven or too small, energy will
be wasted.
• The temperature is power-controlled through a 7-step switch. Depending on the chosen setting, the
plate heats up with the corresponding power and maintains this temperature.
• The pilot lamp glows as long as the heating plate is switched on.
• The models THS 815 and THS 2015 are equipped with a 15-minute timer and have a reduced power
of 800 / 1200 W respectively. This meets especially high safety requirements, e.g. in old people's homes.
When the pre-set time has passed, the timer turns off the appliance automatically. The time set before
can always be changed even during operation by moving the timer clockwise or anti-clockwise.
• Turn off your appliance in time and use the energy stored in the heating plate for keeping your food warm.

Cleaning and maintenance

Always unplug the appliance before cleaning and let it cool
down. Never immerse the unit, power cord or plug in water!
• Clean the appliance with a damp cloth and detergent, do not use abrasives and steel wool.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water and make sure no steam may infiltrate.
• Always keep heating plates dry since dampness and steam will result in rust formation.
• Do not use any abrasives and solvents or sharp objects!
• Never use a steam jet appliance for cleaning!
