The cast-iron hob
"Burning off" the solid plates
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
The solid plates should be used with-
■
out cookware only when 'burning off'
before the initial start-up.
• This process is part of the start-up. It is
needed to remove the preservative lay-
er on the solid plate. Switch on all solid
plates one after the other to the highest
position:
– Turbo solid plates approx. 3 minutes
– Normal solid plates approx. 5 minutes.

CAUTION
Risk of burns!
During its use, the device and its ex-
posed parts can become hot.
The solid plates get very hot during
■
operation and will remain hot after
they are switched off.
NOTICE
Immediately remove anything that
boils over.
The cast-iron hob has two Turbo and two 'nor-
mal' solid plates. The Turbo solid plates have
a red cross in the middle; this disappears with
increased use. The Turbo solid plates oper-
ate like normal solid plates, but they are more
powerful and heat up quicker.

Every solid plate has its own temperature
controller.
• Turn the temperature controller to the de-
sired level of heat as needed:
from gentle simmering to rapid bubbling.
The heat settings (0 - 3) can be seen on
the temperature controller.
• Turn the temperature controller to level
"0" to switch off.
