Notes
Any dark areas in the glow pattern of the hotplate
■
are due to technical reasons. The function of the
hotplate is not affected.
Hotplate temperature is regulated by the heat
■
switching on and off.The heat may also switch on
and off at the highest setting.
This ensures e.g.:
– sensitive components are protected from
overheating
– the appliance is protected from electrical
overload
– better cooking results are achieved
With multi-circuit hotplates the heater elements of the
■
inner filament circuits and the heater element of the
activations may switch on and off at different times.

Residual heat indicator

The hob has a two-stage residual heat indicator for
each hotplate.
If • appears in the display the hob is still hot. It may be
used, for example, to keep a small meal warm or to
melt cooking chocolate. As the hotplate cools down
further, the display changes to
until the hotplate has cooled sufficiently.
