‹
lights up next to the hotplates. Position the twist
knob in the area in which it can be used. The hob is
ready for use.
To switch off: Touch the
#

goes out. All hotplates are switched off. The residual
heat indicator remains lit until the hotplates have cooled
down sufficiently.
Notes
■
The hob switches off automatically if all hotplates
have been switched off for more than 15 seconds.
■
The selected settings are stored for four seconds
after the hob has been switched off. If the hob is
switched on again within this time, the previous
settings are applied.
Setting a hotplate
Set the required heat setting using the twist knob.
Heat setting 1 = lowest setting.
Heat setting 9 = highest setting.
Every heat setting has an intermediate setting. This is
marked with a dot.
Selecting a hotplate and heat setting
The hob must be switched on.
1.
Select the hotplate. To do this, touch the twist knob
in the appropriate area for the required hotplate.
2.
Within the next 10 seconds, turn the twist knob until
the required heat setting appears in the heat setting
display.
The heat setting is set.
Changing the heat setting
Select the hotplate and change the heat setting using
the twist knob.
Switching off the hotplate
Select the hotplate and turn the twist knob until
‹
appears. The hotplate switches itself off and the
residual heat indicator lights up.
Notes
■
If no pan has been placed on the hotplate, the
selected power level flashes. After a certain time has
elapsed, the hotplate switches off.
■
If a pan has been placed on the hotplate before
switching on the hob, it will be detected within
20 seconds of pressing the main switch and the
hotplate will be selected automatically. Once
detected, select the power level within the next
20 seconds or the hotplate will switch off.
If more than one pan is placed on the hob, only one
will be detected when switching it on.
Chef's recommendations
Recommendations
■
When heating up puree, cream soups and thick
sauces, stir occasionally.
■
Set heat setting 8 to 9 for preheating.
■
When cooking with the lid on, turn the heat setting
down as soon as steam escapes between the lid
and the cookware. Steam does not need to escape
for a good cooking result.
■
After cooking, keep the lid on the cookware until you
serve the food.
■
To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the
manufacturer's instructions.
■
Do not cook food for too long, otherwise the
nutrients will be lost. The kitchen clock can be used
to set the optimum cooking time.
■
For a more healthy cooking result, smoking oil
should be avoided.
■
To brown food, fry small portions in succession.
■
Cookware may reach high temperatures while the
food is cooking. We recommend that you use oven
gloves.
