Residual heat indicator
The hob also features 4 warning lamps which are wired to the corresponding plate.
When the temperature of a cooking plate is over 60°C, the relevant warning lamp lights up to
warn of heat on the surface of the hob.
This lamp also stays on after the cooking plate has been switched off to shown that the hob
surface is still hot.
This residual heat lasts for a rather long time after the cooking plate has been switched off.
During this spell of time you should avoid touching the hob surface over the cooking
plate.
The lamp will switch off automatically as soon as the surface temperature of the cooking
plate falls below 60°C.
Cooking hints
– To reduce the cooking time, you can turn the control knob to the max when you switch
the plate on.
After a short time you set the control knob to the required position for the cooking.
– You should use pots and pans with flat bases.
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 stays hot for a certain time after the plate has been switched off,
you can switch it off minutes before the end of the cooking.
The residual heat of the hob will terminate the cooking.
– To save electricity, use lids whenever possible.
WARNING: The hotplates
become very hot with use, and
retain their heat for a long time after use. Children should be
supervised at all times and be prevented from touching the
hot surfaces, until such time as the appliance has cooled.
