Dark areas in the glow pattern of the hotplate are
part of the technical design. They do not affect the
functionality of the hotplate.
¡
The hotplate regulates the temperature by switching
the heat on and off. The heat may also switch on
and off when on the highest setting.

This protects easily damaged components from
overheating.

The appliance is protected from electrical over-
load.

With multi-circuit hotplates, the heating of the inner
filament circuits and the heating of the activations
may switch on and off at different times.
