times for various meals.
Switching the hob on and off
The main switch is used to switch the hob on and off.

indicator light above the main switch and the
‹
indicators light up. The cooktop is ready to use.
Switching off
Touch the symbol
#
until the indicator light above the
main switch and the indicators 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
cooktop has been switched off. If you switch it on
again during this time, the cooktop will operate using
the previously stored settings.

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.
