heat setting.
If a timer was associated with the heater,
“ 00 ” will be shown on the timer display for
10 sec. After this, the timer display turns off.
After a heater has been automatically
turned off, as described above, the heater
can be used and the maximum operating
time for this heat setting is applied.
Residual Heat Functions
After all cooking processes there is some
heat stored in the vitroceramic glass
called residual heat. The appliance can
calculate roughly how hot the glass is. If
the calculated temperature is higher than
+ 60 °C, then this will be indicated in the
corresponding heater display. After the
heater or the hob control has been turned
off, the residual heat display is shown as
long as the calculated heater temperature is
> + 60 °C.
The residual heat indicator has the lowest
priority and is overwritten by every other
display value and during safety switch offs
and the displaying of error codes. When
voltage is supplied to the hob after a power
interruption, the residual heat display
indicator flashes. If a heater had a residual
heat of g 60 °C before the power
interruption occurred, the display will flash
while the residual heat remains or until
the heater is selected for another cooking
operation.
Hints and Tips
Important: When ceramic heaters are
operated in higher heat settings, the
heated areas may be seen switching
on and off. This is due to a safety device,
which prevents the glass from overheating.
Some switching on and off when cooking at
high temperatures is quite normal, causes
no damage to the hob and little delay in
cooking times.
WARNING:
• Never operate the hob without pans on
the cooking zone.
• Use only flat saucepans and with a
sufficiently thick base.
• Make sure the bottom of the pan is dry
before placing it on the hob.
• While the cooking zone is in operation,
it is important to ensure that the pan is
centred correctly above the zone.
• In order to conserve energy, never use a
pan with a different diamater to hotplate
being used.

• Do not use saucepans with rough
bottoms since these can scratch the
glass ceramic surface.
• If possible, always place lids on the
pans.
• The temperature of accessible parts
maybe high when the appliance is
operating. Keep children and animals
well away from the hob during operation
and until it has fully cooled after
operation.
• If you notice a crack on the cook top
it must be switched off immediately
and replaced by authorised service
personnel.

The Vitroceramic Glass Spatula
Always use the glass spatula to remove
spillages or deposits from the hob before
trying chemical cleaning agents. This is
the ideal method for removing even the
smallest deposits from the hob, and for
removing spillages from hot cooking zones
before they burn onto the hob.
Important: Always push the safety
cover back over the razor blade after use.
Take care when using the spatula and keep
it out of the reach of children.
