RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
The hob also features 5 warning lamps
which are wired to the corresponding
plate.
When the temperature of a cooking plate
is over 60°C, the relevant warning lamp
is also lit-up to warn of heat on the sur-
face of the hob.
This lamp also stay on after the cooking
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.
During this period of time you
should avoid touching the hob
surface over the cooking area.
Please pay special attention to
ensuring children are not allowed
near the hob.
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.
Caution!
the cooking hob becomes very
hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
