Residual 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 surface
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 ensur-
ing 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.
Caution!
the cooking hob becomes very hot
during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.

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.
