RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
The hob also features 5 warning lights
which are connected to the correspond-
ing plates.
When the temperature of a cooking
plate is above 60°C, the relevant warn-
ing light will also light up to warn of
heat on the surface of the hob.
This light also stay on after the cooking
plate has been switched off to show
that the hob surface is still hot.
This residual heat will lasts for a long
time after the cooking plate has been
switched off.
During this time you should avoid
touching the hob surface over the
cooking area.
Please pay special attention to
ensure that children are not
allowed near the hob.
The light will switch off automatically as
soon as the surface temperature of the
cooking plate falls below 60°C.

COOKING HINTS:
– To reduce the cooking time, you can
turn the control knob to the max
when you switch the plate on.
After a short time you can set the
control knob to the position required
for cooking.
– You should only use pots and pans
with flat bases (pans with the test
mark for glass-ceramic hobs are
available from specialist shops).
The diameter of the pan should
match that of the cooking plate (or be
slightly bigger) to make the most of
the energy.
– Since the cooking surface will stays
hot for a certain time after the plate
has been switched off, you can
switch it off 5 or 10 minutes before
the end of the cooking.
The residual heat of the hob will com-
plete the cooking.
– To save electricity, use pan lids when-
ever possible.
– Never cook the food directly on the
glass ceramic cooktop.
DEEP FAT FRYING
For safety purposes when deep fat fry-
ing, do not fill the pan more than one
third full of oil.
DO NOT
cover the pan with a lid and
DO NOT
leave the pan unattended.
In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave
the pan where it is and turn off the con-
trol knobs.
Place a damp cloth or lid over the pan to
smother the flames. Leave the pan to
cool for at least 30minutes before mov-
ing the pan.
DO NOT
USE WATER ON THE FIRE.
Caution!
the cooking hob becomes very hot
during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
