Operation
The markings on the control knobs show the position of
the corresponding cooking zone and the heat setting.
Switching on
Turn the corresponding control knob to the left or right
to the required cooking level. The indicator light goes
on, when a cooking zone is switched on.

knob can only be turned to the left to switch on the
cooking zone.

The cooking zones are regulated by switching the
heating elements on and off. This is normal. The
heating elements remain at full power and are
switched on and off in longer or shorter intervals,
depending on the setting.
Switching off
Turn the control knob to 0 to switch off the cooking
zone. The residual heat display remains on as long as
the cooking zone is too hot to be touched safely.

‒
Cooking zones featuring combination: the control
knob cannot be turned directly from the
combination position to 0.
‒
The residual heat display indicates that, after
switching off, a cooking zone has still not cooled
down to such an extent that it can be safely
touched
Cooking zone combination

zone combination.

zone. When switching the cooking zone on again, the

the combination position to 0.
Residual heat indicator
For your safety the hob features individual residual heat
indicators. A red signal lights up for each cooking zone.

extent that it can be safely touched.
Tips on saving energy
Please observe the following tips on saving energy:
▯
Saucepans and pots should always be covered
with a suitable lid to shorten cooking times.
▯
Use good quality saucepans and pots with thick,
even bases. Using cookware with uneven bases
increases energy consumption.
▯
The size of the cookware should correspond to the
amount of the food to be prepared. Large pots
which are only half full waste enery.
▯
The diameter of the bases of the saucepans and
pots should match the size of the cooking zone.
Note: ovenware manufacturers often give the
diameter of the top of the saucepan. It is usually
larger than the diameter of the base of the
saucepan.
▯
Use only a little water when cooking. This saves
energy. It also preserves vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
▯
Use the residual heat of the cooktop to keep food
warm.
