Operation
Operating time limit
The hob has an automatic time limit function. The duration of
continuous use of each cooking zone depends on the cooking
level selected (see chart), provided that the setting of a
respective cooking zone is not adjusted during use. If the
operation time limit has been activated, the cooking zone will
switch off, a short signal will sound and an H will appear in the
display.
Other functions
If two or more sensor keys are pressed at the same time (e.g.
when a pan is mistakenly put onto a sensor key) no function will
be activated.
A buzzer will sound briefly. After a few seconds the appliance will
switch off. Please remove the item located in front of the sensor
keys.
How to cut power consumption
The following are a few useful hints to help you cut your
consumption of energy and use your new hob and the cookware
efficiently.
• The base of your cooking pots should be the same size as the
cooking zone.
• When buying cooking pots, note that it is frequently the
diameter of the top of the pot that it indicated. This is usually
larger than the base of a pot.
• Pressure cookers are particularly low on energy and time
required thanks to the pressure and the fact that they are
tightly closed. Short cooking times mean that vitamins are
preserved.
• Always make sure that there is sufficient fluid in your pressure
cooker since the cooking zone and the cooker may be
damaged as a result of overheating if the pressure cooker
boils dry.
• Always close cooking pots with a suitable lid.
• Use the right pot for the quantity of food you are cooking. A
large pot which is hardly filled will use up a lot of energy.
Power settings
The heating power of the cooking zones can be set at various
power levels. In the chart you will find examples of how to use
each setting.
Using the wok pan
• Never cut or scrape anything in the wok pan with knives or any
other sharp gadgets. This could damage the coating.
• No foreign bodies or dirt must be allowed to get between the
wok pan and the hob. since they may damage the surface.
• Do not overheat the wok pan when it is empty.
Only use the wok pan made of high-quality, coated cast
aluminium which is supplied. It fits exactly into the wok cavity,
enabling heat to be optimally utilized.
Should you require a replacement wok pan or its glass lid or wish
to have two pans and lids, please contact the Küppersbusch
Customer Service.
Residual heat display
The glass ceramic hob is equipped with an H as a
residual heat display.
As long as the H lights up after the cooking zone has
been switched off, the residual heat can be used for melting food
or for keeping food warm.
The cooking zone may still be hot when the letter H no longer
lights up. Risk of burns!
