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.
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.
Hotplate and residual heat indicators
The hotplate and residual heat indicators light up when
a hotplate is warm:
Hotplate indicator - during operation, shortly after
■
you have switched on a hotplate.
Residual heat indicator - after cooking, when the
■
hotplate is still warm.
You can use the residual heat to save energy, e.g. to
keep a small dish warm or to melt chocolate.

Cooking times and heat settings may vary depending
on the type of food, its weight and quality. Deviations
are therefore possible.
For bringing liquids to the boil, use heat setting 9.
Stir thick liquids occasionally.
Food that needs to be seared quickly or food which
loses a lot of liquid during initial frying is best seared in
several small portions.
