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.
–
This protects easily damaged components from
overheating.
–
The appliance is protected from electrical over-
load.
–
Better cooking results are achieved.

With multi-circuit hotplates, the heating of the inner
filament circuits and the heating of the activations
may switch on and off at different times.
