This section informs you how to set the hotplates. The table
shows heat settings and cooking times for various meals.
Switching the hob on and off

Setting a hotplate
Adjust the heat setting of the hotplates using the hotplate
controls.
Heat setting 1 = lowest setting

Note:
Hotplate temperature is regulated by the heat switching
on and off. The heat may also switch on and off at the highest
setting.
Table of cooking times

Cooking times and heat settings may vary depending on the
