Operating the appliance
In this section, you can find out how to set the
hotplates. The table shows heat settings and cooking
times for various meals.
Switching the hob on and off
The main switch is used to switch the hob on and off.
To switch on: touch the
#
symbol. A signal sounds.
The display light above the main switch and the
‹
indicators light up. The hob is ready for use.
To switch off: Touch the
#
symbol until the display light
above the main switch and the displays go out. All
hotplates are switched off. The residual heat indicator
remains on until the hotplates have cooled down
sufficiently.
Notes
■
The hob will switch itself off automatically once all
hotplates have been switched off for a while (10-
60 seconds).
■
The settings remain stored for 4 seconds after the
hob has been switched off. If you switch it on again
during this time, the hob will operate using the
previously stored settings.
Setting a hotplate
Set the desired heat setting on the control panel.
Heat setting 1 = lowest setting
Heat setting 9 = highest setting
Every heat setting has an intermediate setting. This is
identified by a dot.

Changing the heat setting
Select the hotplate and set the desired heat setting in
the control panel.
Switching off the hotplate
Use the

panel to 0. After about 10 seconds, the residual heat
indicator appears.
Note:
The last selected hotplate remains activated. You
can set the hotplate without selecting it again.
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.
For bringing liquids to the boil, use heat setting 9.
Stir thick liquids occasionally.
Food that needs to be seared quickly or food which
loses a lot of liquid during initial frying is best seared in
several small portions.
Tips for energy-saving cooking can be found in the
Environmental protection section.
