Notes

¡

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.
Reasons:

Easily damaged components are protected
against overheating.

The appliance is protected from electrical over-
load.

This achieves a better cooking result.

With multi-circuit hotplates, the heating of the hot-
plate and the activated areas may switch on or off
at different times.

4.5 Residual heat indicator

The hob has a two-stage residual heat indicator for
each hotplate. Do not touch the hotplate while the re-
sidual heat indicator is lit up.

Display

Meaning

The hotplate is so hot that you can
keep small dishes warm or melt cook-
ing chocolate.
The hotplate is hot.
