Operating Instructions
Operating Time Limitations
The hob control unit has a limitation on the operating time. If the heat setting for a heater has not been
changed for a certain time, the heater will switch off automatically. A “0” will be displayed for 10 seconds;
however there may be some residual heat present. The limit of the operating time depends on the selected
heat setting.
After a heater automatically switches off, as described above, the heater can be used and the maximum
operating time for this heat setting is applied.
Residual Heat Functions
After all cooking processes, some heat will be stored in the vitro-ceramic glass called residual heat. The
appliance can calculate roughly how hot this glass is. If the calculated temperature is higher than + 60°C,
then this will be indicated in the corresponding heater display for as long as the calculated temperature
remains above + 60°C, even after the appliance has been switched off.
The residual heat indicator has the lowest priority and is overwritten by every other display value, including
during safety switch-off and the displaying of an error code. When voltage is supplied to the hob after a
power interruption, the residual heat display indicator will flash. If a heater had a residual heat of greater
than + 60°C before the power interruption occurred, the display will flash while the residual heat remains or
until the heater is selected for another cooking operation.
Hints and Tips
Important : When ceramic heaters are operated in higher heat settings, the heated areas may
be seen switching on and off. This is due to a safety device, which prevents the glass from
overheating. This is normal at high temperatures, causing no damage to the hob and little
delay in cooking times.
Warning:
• Never operate the hob without pans on the cooking zone.
• Use only flat saucepans with a sufficiently thick base.
• Make sure the bottom of the pan is dry before placing it on the hob.
• While the cooking zone is in operation, it is important to ensure that the pan is centred correctly
above the zone.
• In order to conserve energy, never use a pan with a different diameter to the hotplate being
used.
• Do not use saucepans with rough bottoms since these can scratch the glass ceramic surface.
• If possible, always place lids on the pans to avoid heat loss.
• The temperature of accessible parts may become high while the appliance is operating. Keep
children and animals well away from the hob during operation and until it has fully cooled after
operation.
• If you notice a crack on the cooktop, it must be switched off immediately and replaced by
authorised service personnel.
