RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
The hob also features 5 warning lights which are connected to the correspond- ing plate.
When the temperature of a cooking plate is above 60°C, the relevant warning lights will also light up to warn of heat on the surface of the hob.
This light also stays on after the cooking plate has been switched off to show that the hob surface is still hot.
This residual heat will lasts for a 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 light 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.

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 will 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.
DEEP FAT FRYING
For safety purposes when deep fat fry- ing, do not fill the pan more than one third full of oil.

In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave the pan where it is and turn off the con- trol knobs.
Place a damp cloth or lid over the pan to smother the flames. Leave the pan to cool for at least 30minutes before mov- ing the pan.
DO NOT USE WATER ON THE FIRE.
