Remaining heat indicator
Glass ceramic hob also features remaining heat
indicator “H”. Hotplates are not heated directly, but
through return heat radiating from the dish. As long as
the symbol “H” is on after the hotplate was switched o
ff
,
the remaining heat may be used for warming up food or
for melting.
Even when the symbol “H” disappears, the hotplate may
still be hot. Be careful of burns!
Extra powerful setting (hotplates marked “P”)
Extra powerful setting may be additionally switched
on for fast cooking on all hotplates. This extra hotplate
power is used for heating large quantities of food.
After switching on, the extra power is activated for ten
minutes, then automatically switches back on to the
maximum normal level 9.
During the time extra power is activated, the power of
other hotplates is limited. This is indicated on the power
display by intermittently showing the selected cooking
level and limited power.
Activating extra powerful setting
• First select the hotplate by touching its relevant
sensor, and immediately after press the sensor “P”.
Extra powerful setting is on, and power indicator
displays symbol “P”.
• After ten minute lapse the hotplate automatically
switches to level 9.
Premature turning extra powerful setting o
ff
• Touch the desired hotplate sensor, and immediately
after press the sensor “P”. Letter “P” disappears and
the hotplate automatically switches to level 9.
Automatic fast heating
The entire hob is
fi
tted with special mechanism which
makes the hotplates operate at full power at the
beginning of cooking, regardless of the selected setting.
After certain time the power of the hotplate returns to the
originally set value (1 to 9).
In using this mechanism it is only necessary to select the
appropriate power level for the intended preparation of
food, which is to be used during that particular cooking
session.
Automatic fast heating is appropriate for...
• food which is cold at the beginning of preparation and
needs to be heated at elevated power of the hotplate,
followed by extensive cooking at normal heating
power without the need to monitor it at all times (for
example, stewed beef).
