Residual Heat Indicators

When the temperature of a cooking plate is above 65°C, the relevant H in the touch control display is also lit-up (with the cooking plate switched off) to warn of heat on the surface of the hob.

This H symbol also stays on after the touch control panel 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 time you should avoid touching the hob surface over the cooking area.

Please pay special attention to ensure that children are not allowed near the hob.

The H symbol will switch off automatically as soon as the surface temperature of the cooking plate falls below 65 °C.

Cooking Hints:

–To reduce the cooking time, you can set the fast cooking function (cf. section “Fast Automatic Heating of the Cooking Zones” at page 12).

–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.

WARNING:

Hobs become very hot with use, and retain their heat for a long time after cooking has finished (about 30 minutes).

Children should be supervised at all times and be prevented from touching the hot surfaces, until such time as the appliance has cooled.
