leads to them being destroyed.
The hotplates
Notes
■
Any dark areas in the glow pattern of the hotplate
are due to technical reasons. The function of the
hotplate is not affected.
■
Hotplate temperature is regulated by the heat
switching on and off. The heat may also switch on
and off at the highest setting.
■
With multi-circuit hotplates the heater elements of the
inner filament circuits and the heater element of the
activations may switch on and off at different times.
Hotplate and residual heat indicators
The hotplate and residual heat indicators light up when
a hotplate is warm:
■
Hotplate indicator - during operation, shortly after
you have switched on a hotplate.
■
Residual heat indicator - after cooking, when the
hotplate is still warm.
You can use the residual heat to save energy, e.g. to
keep a small dish warm or to melt chocolate.
