Setting the cooktop

This section familiarises you with how to make 
settings on your cooktop. The table contains cooking 
methods and examples for the different heat settings.

Switching the cooktop on and off

The main switch is used to switch the cooktop on and 
off.

To switch on: touch the 

#

 symbol. A signal sounds. 

The lamp above the main switch and the 

 displays 

lights up. The cooktop is ready for use.

To switch off: touch the 

#

 symbol until the light above 

the main switch goes out. All cooking zones are 
switched off. The residual heat indicator remains on 
until the cooking zones have cooled down sufficiently.

Notes

The cooktop switches off automatically if all 
cooking zones have been switched off for more 
than 20 seconds.

The settings remain stored for 5 seconds after the 
cooktop has been switched off. If you switch it on 
again during this time, the cooktop will operate 
using the previously stored settings.

Setting the heat setting

The hob must be switched on with the main switch. 
Each cooking zone has 9 heat settings with 
intermediate settings in between. A dot appears next 
to the heat setting display to indicate an intermediate 
setting.

Heat setting 1 = lowest output

Heat setting 9 = highest output

1

Select the cooking zone. Do this by pushing the 
magnetic knob towards the required cooking zone 
symbol.

2

Centre the magnetic knob on the twistpad again.

3

Within the next 5 seconds, turn the magnetic 
knob until the desired heat setting appears in the 
heat setting display.

A signal sounds to confirm the setting after a few 
seconds.

Changing the heat setting

Select the cooking zone. Use the magnetic knob to set 
the required heat setting.

Switching off the cooking zone

Select the cooking zone. Use the magnetic knob to set 
it to 0. The cooking zone switches off. After approx. 5 
seconds, the residual heat indicator appears.
