RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
The hob also features a warning lamp
(on the control panel
fig. 23)
which is wired to the plates.
When the temperature of a cooking
plate is over 60°C, the warning lamp is
also lit-up to warn of heat on the sur-
face of the hob.
This lamp also stays on after the cook-
ing plate has been switched off to
shown that the hob surface is still hot.
This residual heat lasts for a rather long
time after the cooking plate has been
switched off.
D u r i n g t h i s s p e l l o f t i m e y o u
should avoid touching the hob sur-
face over the cooking plate; please
pay special attention to children.
The lamp will switch off automatically
as soon as the surface temperature of
the cooking plate falls below 60°C.
Cooking hints:
– To reduce the cooking time, you can turn the control knob to the max when you
switch the plate on.
After a short time you will set the control knob to the required position for the
cooking.
– You should use pots and pans with flat bases (pans with the test mark for glass-
ceramic hobs are available from specialist shops).
The diameter of the pan should match that of the cooking plate (or be slightly
bigger) to make the most of the energy.
– Since the cooking surface stays hot for a certain time after the plate has been
switched off, you can switch it off 5 or 10 minutes before the end of the cooking.
The residual heat of the hob will complete the cooking.
– To save electricity, use pan lids whenever possible.
–
Never cook the food directly on the glass ceramic cooktop, but in special
pans or containers.
–
Do not scratch the cooktop with cutting or sharp objects.
Do not use the glass ceramic surface as a work surface
