Notes
Any dark areas in the glow pattern of the hotplate

hotplate is not affected.
Hotplate temperature is regulated by the heat
■
switching on and off.The heat may also switch on
and off at the highest setting.
This ensures e.g.:
– sensitive components are protected from
overheating
– the appliance is protected from electrical
overload
– better cooking results are achieved
With multi-circuit hotplates the heater elements of the
■
inner filament circuits and the heater element of the
activations may switch on and off at different times.
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.
