2.4 Twin circuit cooking zone
With a two-circuit cooking zone you can switch on the small heating circuit separately or add the large heating
circuit. Thus you can adapt the size of the heated cooking zone to your pot.
Please note the separate information for built-in ranges, switch boxes or electronic controls in the
separate operating instructions.
2.5 Residual heat display
As long as optical signalling appears after switching off the unit, the corresponding cooking zone is still hot and
can be used economically.
Caution!
The signalling devices may fail – e.g. in the case of a lamp. Please note that there
is no warning against high temperatures in such a case.
2.6 Choice of pots
Special-purpose electrical pots with flat-polished bottoms are required. In order to work directly on the cooking
zones, you can use cooking utensils made from fireproof glass or porcelain if their bottoms are flat-polished.
Please note the manufacturer's instructions.
The size of the pots should be selected in accordance with the size of the cooking zone. In any case, the pot
diameter should not be smaller than the cooking zone diameter.
Cooking and roasting in slightly deformed cookware that fails to make complete contact with the cooking zones,
takes much longer, is uneconomical and can result in damage.
With unsuitable cookware, the inserted overheating protection switches the cooking zones off prematurely so that
the cooking temperature is not reached and/or the cooking time is extended.
You save energy if you use the right pots with covers and remove the covers as infrequently as possible during
cooking.
The following chart shows how the wrong choice of pots results in unnecessary energy losses.
