manual abstract
When cooking without a lid, considerably more energy is required. A glass lid means that you can see inside without having to lift the lid. ¦ Use pots and pans with even bases. Uneven bases increase energy consumption. ¦ The diameter of pot and pan bases should be the same size as the hotplate. In particular, small saucepans on the hotplate cause energy losses. Please note: cookware manufacturers often indicate the upper diameter of the saucepan. This is usually bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan. ¦ Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger, less full saucepan requires a lot of energy. ¦ Cook with only a little water. This will save energy. Vitamins and minerals in vegetables are preserved. ¦ Always cover as large an area of the hotplate as possible with your saucepan. ¦ Switch to a lower heat setting in good time. ¦ Select a suitable ongoing cooking setting. You will waste energy by using an ongoing cooking setting which is too high. ¦ Use the residual heat of the hob. For longer cooking times, you can switch the hotplate off 5- 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Getting to know your appliance An overview of the models with their dimensions is given on page 2. The control panel Displays ‚ - S Heat settings • / oe Residual heat ‰ ‰ Duration S Kitchen timer x Timer Controls # Main switch @ Childproof lock A @ Adjustment fields V Using cookware 0 Timer Notes ¦ When you touch a symbol, the respective function is activated. ¦ Always keep the controls dry. Moisture reduces their effectiveness. ¦ Do not pull pans close to the displays and sensors. The electronics could overheat. Residual heat indicator The hob has a two-stage residual heat indicator for each hotplate. If • appears in the display the hob is still hot. It may be used, for example, to keep a small meal warm or to melt cooking chocolate. As the hotplate cools down further, the display changes to oe. The display remains lit until the hotplate has cooled sufficiently. Setting the hob This section informs you how to set the hotplate. The tables show examples for cooking and grilling various meals. Switching the hob on and off The main switch is used to switch the hob on and off. To switch on: touch the # symbol. A signal sounds. The indicator above the main switch lights up. The hob is ready for use. To switch off: touch the # symbol until the indicator above the main switch goes out. The hotplate is switched off. The residual heat indicator remains on until the hotplate has cooled down sufficiently. The hob switches off automatically if the hotplate has been switched off for more than 15 seconds. Setting a hotplate Use the + and - symbols to set the desired heat setting. Heat setting 1 = lowest setting Heat setting 9 = highest setting There is an intermediate setting between each heat setting. This is identified by a dot. There are two ways to use the hotplate: ¦ as a conventional hotplate: use a suitable frying pan. The dimensions of the frying pan should correspond to the size of the hotplate. ¦ as a grill: place the food to be grilled directly on the glass ceramic. Notes ¦ The grill is only suitable for low-fat frying. ¦ Before grilling, lightly brush the grill with oil. ¦ Dry marinated foods before grilling. ¦ Do not use sugar or food with a high sugar content, e. g. honey, syrup, ketchup, barbecue sauces, bananas or dried fruits. They damage the glass ceramic. ¦ Kitchen utensils made from plastic may melt and damage the glass ceramic. Kitchen utensils made from metal can scratch the glass ceramic. Only use kitchen utensils made from wood. ¦ Do not cover the grill with aluminium foil. Setting the heat setting The hob must be switched on. 1. Touch the + or - symbol. The basic setting appears. + symbol: heat setting 1 - symbol: heat setting 9 2. If you want to use a frying pan: touch the V symbol. 3. To change the heat setting: press the + or - symbol until the desired heat setting appears. Switching off the hotplate Set the hotplate to 0.
