Residual heat indicator
The hob has a two-stage residual heat indicator for each
hotplate.
If
•
appears in the display the hob is still hot. It may be used,
for example, to keep a small meal warm or to melt cooking
chocolate. As the hotplate cools down further, the display
changes to
œ
. The display remains lit until the hotplate has
cooled sufficiently.
Twistpad with twist knob
The twistpad is the area in which you can select the hotplates
and set heat settings using the twist knob. The twist knob
automatically centres itself in the twistpad.
The twist knob is magnetic and is placed on the twistpad.
Tapping the twist knob where there is a marking activates the
relevant hotplate. Turning the twist knob sets the heat setting.
Removing the twist knob
You can remove the touch knob. This makes cleaning easier.
You can also remove the twist knob while the hotplate is in
operation. All the hotplates switch off after 3 seconds.

Risk of fire!
If you place a metal object on the twistpad within 3 seconds,
the hob may continue to heat up. For this reason, always switch
off the hob using the main switch.
Storing the twist knob
The twist knob contains a strong magnet. Keep the twist knob
away from magnetic data carriers, such as video cassettes,
diskettes, credit cards or cards with magnetic strips. The data
these contain could otherwise be wiped. They can also cause
interference in television sets and monitors.
ã=
Hazard due to magnetism!
For wearers of electronic implants, e.g. pacemakers or insulin
pumps. Implants could be affected by magnetic fields. You
must therefore never carry the twist knob in a pocket in your
clothing. They must be kept at least 10 cm from pacemakers.
Note:
The twist knob is magnetic. Metal particles which stick to
the underside can scratch the ceramic hob top. Always wipe
the twist knob thoroughly.
