‹
light up. The hob is
ready for use.
Switching off the appliance
Touch the

symbol until the
A
display above the main
switch and the displays goes out. All hotplates are

Notes
■
The hob will switch itself off automatically once all
hotplates have been switched off for a while (10-
60 seconds).
■
The settings remain stored for 4 seconds after the
hob has been switched off. If you switch it on again
during this time, the hob will operate using the
previously stored settings.
Setting a hotplate
Use the twist knob to set the desired cooking time.
Heat setting 1 = lowest setting

Table of cooking times
The following table provides some examples.
Cooking times and heat settings may vary depending
on the type of food, its weight and quality. Deviations
are therefore possible.
For bringing liquids to the boil, use heat setting 9.
Stir thick liquids occasionally.
Food that needs to be seared quickly or food which
loses a lot of liquid during initial frying is best seared in
several small portions.
Tips for energy-saving cooking can be found in the
Environmental protection section.
