Safety shut-off
For your protection the appliance features safety shut-
off. The appliance switches off automatically if it has
been operating for an extended period of time. The
time until switching off depends on the setting
(level 12 = 1 hour, level 1 = 4 hours). The luminous
disc behind the control knob flashes.
Turn all control knobs to 0. Then you can operate the
appliance again normally.
Settings table and tips
Tips for cooking and roasting
The values given in the settings table must be looked
upon as recommended values. The heat required
depends not only on the type and condition of the
food, but also the size and contents of the pot.
Due to the high performance of the cooktop, fat and
oil will heat up quickly. Never leave the cooktop
unattended, fat can ignite, food can burn.
Preferably use the rear cooking zones to prepare
meals, that need longer to cook.
Preferably use the high output burners for brief
cooking, deep fat frying and searing of large
quantities.
