Using the hotplates
Please note the safety instructions on page 19!
The cooking zones
Each cooking zone has its own control. Nine cooking settings are marked
on the hotplate controls. As far as possible, start cooking at the highest set-
ting and continue at a smaller setting.
The controls are of the pop-out type and can be countersunk in every set-
ting. They pop out at a slight press of the finger. No settings can be made
while the controls are countersunk. If the oven selection switch is counter-
sunk the oven lighting will switch off.
