Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the hot plate from its packaging and ensure all components are present and undamaged.

- Heating Cycle: The "HEATING" light will cycle on and off as the hot plate maintains the selected temperature. This is normal operation and indicates the thermostat is regulating the heat.
- Cooking: Cook your food as desired. Monitor the cooking process and adjust the temperature as needed.
- Finish Cooking: Once cooking is complete, turn the temperature control knob counter-clockwise to the "OFF" position.
