RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR

The hob also features 4 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 stays 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 spell of time you should avoid touching the hob surface over the cooking plate; please pay special attention to children.

The lamp will switch off automatically as soon as the surface temperature of the cook- ing plate falls below 60°C.

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.
