The glass-ceramic range features SuperQuick cooking zones. These cooking zones possess good heat distribution properties and light up red while heating up. The cooking zones are controlled electronically and are switched on and off during operation. This is done to protect the glass plate against overheating and to ensure a uniform supply of heat from the hotplate to the saucepan.

The range features an individual residual heat display. It lights up in the residual heat display panel 8 as a red dot for each cooking zone. When this red dot lights up, the cooking zone concerned cannot be touched, not even after switching off.

–Always cook with the lid on. This considerably shortens the time needed for cooking.

–Pay attention to the right size when choosing pots and pans. The diameters of pots and pans should correspond to that of the hotplate.

–Kitchenware should consist of suitable material. Remember that high-quality ktchenware will help to minimise energy consumption.

–Depending on the experience you have gathered, you can switch off the cooking surface at an earlier time. You can make use of residual heat in this way.
