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.

Setting the hob

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

You can switch the hob on and off with the hotplate controls.
When the hob is switched on, the heat setting display lights up.

Setting a hotplate

Adjust the heat setting of the hotplates using the hotplate 

controls. 

0 = hotplate off
Heat setting 1 = lowest setting
Heat setting 9 = highest setting
There is an intermediate setting between each heat setting. This 

is identified by a dot.

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

The following table provides some examples. 
Cooking times and heat settings may vary depending on the 

type of food, its weight and quality. Deviations are therefore 

possible.

When heating thick liquids, stir regularly.
For bringing liquids to the boil, use heat setting 9.
