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 at the highest setting.
– This protects easily damaged components from
overheating.
– The appliance is protected against electrical
overload.
– Better cooking results are achieved.
¡ With multi-circuit hotplates, the heating of the inner
filament circuits and the heating of the connections
may switch on and off at different times.
5.3 Recommended cooking settings
You can find an overview of different foods with appro-
priate power levels here.
The cooking time varies depending on the type, weight,
thickness and quality of the food. The ongoing power
level depends on the cookware used.
