Notes
¡
Dark areas in the glow pattern of the hotplate are
part of the technical design. They do not affect the
functionality of the hotplate.
¡
The hotplate regulates the temperature by switching
the heat on and off. The heat may also switch on
and off when on the highest setting.
Reasons:
–
Easily damaged components are protected
against overheating.
–
The appliance is protected from electrical over-
load.
–
This achieves a better cooking result.
With multi-circuit hotplates, the heating of the hot-
plate and the activated areas may switch on or off
at different times.
4.5 Residual heat indicator
The hob has a two-stage residual heat indicator for
each hotplate. Do not touch the hotplate while the re-
sidual heat indicator is lit up.
