Hotplates
Important warnings!
•
Never switch on empty hotplates, without dishes, and never
use hotplates for heating the ambience!
•
Keep the hotplates and the cookware clean, because dirt
may affect your cooking results.
•
Hot oil or grease is highly inflammable, so the
preparation of food with large quantities of oil (chips)
should be under constant surveillance at all times.
Special warning for glass ceramic hob
•
Glass ceramic hob is tough, but not unbreakable. Should
any sharp or heavy objects fall upon the surface, they may
cause damage.
•
If you discover any visible cracks upon the glass ceramic
surface, you may not use the hob anymore, because there is
an electric shock hazard. In such cases switch all the
hotplates off and unscrew the fuse or switch off the main
switch to disconnect the appliance completely from the
mains. Call the nearest service center.
•
Sand particles or rough wrought iron pot bottoms may also
produce scratches upon the glass ceramic surface.
•
In case the glass ceramic hob is used as a worktop it may
be damaged or scratched. Never heat up the food in
aluminum foil or plastic dishes, otherwise you may damage
the hob or cause melting of material and fire.
•
Red hotplate may sometimes glow over the marked rim,
depending upon the observing angle.

Symbols adjacent to the knobs indicate their location.
Heating power is regulated in steps.
It is recommended to switch the hotplate off 3-5 minutes before

Hi-Light hotplates
These hotplates differ from the regular ones by their extremely
fast heating, so that the cooking process is accelerated.
Remaining heat indicators
Each hotplate is equipped with the signal lamp which is lit up
when the hotplate reaches certain temperature and becomes
hot. Once it is cooled down again, the signal lamp goes off.
The indicator will lit up also if a hot dish is placed upon any of
the hotplates.
