Operating the appliance
In this section, you can find out how to set the hotplates.
The table shows heat settings and cooking times for
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. An audible signal
sounds. The indicator light above the main switch and
the ‹ displays light up. The hob is ready for use.
To switch off: Touch the # symbol until the display light
above the main switch and the displays go out. All
hotplates are switched off. The residual heat indicator
remains on until the hotplates have cooled down
sufficiently.
Notes
■ The hob switches off automatically if all hotplates
have been switched off for more than 20 seconds.
■ The settings remain stored for 4 seconds after the
hob has been switched off. If you switch it on again
during this time, the hob will operate using the
previously stored settings.
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.

residual heat indicator appears.

can set the hotplate without selecting it again.
Table of cooking times
The following table provides some examples.
Cooking times and heat settings may vary depending
on the type of food, its weight and quality. Deviations
are therefore possible.
For bringing liquids to the boil, use heat setting 9.
Stir thick liquids occasionally.
Food that needs to be seared quickly or food which
loses a lot of liquid during initial frying is best seared in
several small portions.
Tips for energy-saving cooking can be found in the
