Notes

¡

Dark areas in the glow pattern of the hotplate are
part of the technical design. They do not affect the
functionality of the hotplate.

¡

The hotplate regulates the temperature by switching
the heat on and off. The heat may also switch on
and off when at the highest setting.

¡

With multi-circuit hotplates, the heating of the hot-
plate and the activated areas may switch on or off
at different times.
Reasons:

Easily damaged components are protected
against overheating.

The appliance is protected against electrical
overload.

This achieves a better cooking result.
