Residual heat
Models equipped with a ceramic hob are dual circuit
hobs and therefore include two hotplates, a central 700
W hotplate and another complete 1800 W hotplate, if
your appliance operates on 230 V.
The small hotplate (central hotplate), is switched on by
turning the control clockwise to setting 0 to unlock it, after
which the control can be positioned to any of the settings
marked from 1 to 9. Fig. 5:
Setting 1: low power.
Setting 9: full power.
If you also want to use the extendable hotplate, the
control must be turned beyond setting 9 (Fig. 5a) and
then positioned to setting 9 (maximum heat setting) or set
to any other intermediate setting for lower heat levels. To
use the small hotplate again, turn the control
anticlockwise to setting 0, andswitch on again.
The residual heat/operating indicator light will go out
once the surface of the hob has cooled down.
It is recommended to start cooking on full powerand then
to use the intermediate settings after a few minutes.
Do not allow liquids to be spilt on the surface of the
electric hob.
Do not cook with wet pans.
The electric hob can be switched off slightly before the
end of the cooking time. The residual heat will enable you
to continue cooking for several minutes, thus saving
energy.
