.

The control panel

Your controls are equipped with piezo technology. You operate 

the symbol on the metal bar by pressing it lightly.

Note: 

Bending or striking the metal panel, e.g. by knocking a 

pot against it, may cause a malfunction.

Controls

The hotplates

Residual heat indicator

The hob has a two-stage residual heat indicator for each 

hotplate.
If 

 appears in the display the hob is still hot. It may be used, 

for example, to keep a small meal warm or to melt cooking 

chocolate. As the hotplate cools down further, the display 

changes to 

œ

. The display remains lit until the hotplate has 

cooled sufficiently.

Setting the hob

This section informs you how to set the hotplates. The table 

shows heat settings and cooking times for various meals. 

Switching the hob on and off

To switch on: touch the 

#

 symbol. The indicator above the 

main switch and the

 hotplate indicator light up. The hob is 

ready for use.
To switch off: touch the 

#

 symbol until the display above the 

main switch and the hotplate indicators 

$

 go out. All hotplates 

are switched off. The residual heat indicator remains on until 

the hotplates have cooled down sufficiently.

Note: 

The hob switches off automatically if all hotplates have 

been switched off for more than 15 seconds.

Setting a hotplate
