power.

Selecting a heat setting

Push in the control knob and turn it to the heat setting 
you require.

The selected heat setting will be lit on the hotplate 
display. The illuminated ring around the control knob 
will be lit.

Switching off a hotplate

Turn the control knob to position 0. 

The residual heat indicator will be lit and the illuminated 
ring around the control knob will flash until the hotplate 
has cooled down.

If there is no cookware on the hotplate or if the 

cookware is not detected, the selected heat setting will 
flash and the illuminated ring around the control knob 
will be lit orange. After approximately 9

minutes, the 

hotplate will switch off.
In this case, the illuminated ring around the control 
knob will flash. Turn the control knob back to position 0; 
the illuminated ring will stop flashing.
