Notes
¡ Dark areas in the glow pattern of the hotplate are
part of the technical design. They do not affect the
functionality of the hotplate.
¡ The hotplate regulates the temperature by switching
the heat on and off. The heat may also switch on
and off when at the highest setting.
– This protects easily damaged components from
overheating.
– The appliance is protected against electrical
overload.
