Hotplate and residual heat indicators

The hotplate and residual heat indicators " light up when a
hotplate is warm:
Hotplate indicator - during operation, shortly after you have
■
switched on a hotplate.
Residual heat indicator - after cooking, when the hotplate is
■
still warm.
You can use the residual heat to save energy, e.g. to keep a
small dish warm or to melt chocolate.

Setting a hotplate

Adjust the heat setting of the hotplates using the hotplate
controls.
Heat setting 1 = lowest setting
Heat setting 9 = highest setting
Note: Hotplate temperature is regulated by the heat switching
on and off. The heat may also switch on and off at the highest
setting.
For bringing liquids to the boil, use heat setting 9.
Stir thick liquids occasionally.
