Miele H 814 - Hob Controls and Usage

Hob controls
Open out the inside cover page for on
illustration of the hob controls,
AH the hotplates/cooking areas are
controlled by heat regulators. With
these any temperature can be freely
selected or adjusted.
The controls for the front hotplates or
cooking areas also have an automatic
"heat-up" control which switches from a
higher to a lower heat once simmering.
To switch on the automatic heat-up con¬
trol for settings between 1 and 11 turn
to the setting and pull out the knob.
The indicator light above the control
knob comes on,
if you turn the control up to 12 or back to
Othis switches off the automatic
heat-up control function. The length of
time on automatic heat-up depends on
the setting chosen. There is a resistance
between 7 and 8. This indicates a
change of zone. The "simmer zone" is
up to 7 and the Trying zone' from 8
onwards. The automatic heat-up time
also depends on the zone, At the end of
the automatic heat-up period the control
switches automatically to continued
cooking and the indicator light goes out,
If the control knob is turned to a different
setting during the auto heat-up period
the length of time will change according
to the setting chosen. However if the
new setting chosen requires less time
than the heat-up time already elapsed,
the control passes immediately to conti
nucd cooking.
The controls can be turned either
clockwise or anti-clockwise to the
required setting. When switched on the
rmgs around the knobs are illuminated.
The colour of the illuminated ring will
deepen from a light shade for a lew set¬
ting to red for the highest setting,
• Cooking without automatic heat-up
control
Select a high setting for bringing to
the boil or sealing in the juices.
When steam starts being emitted
from under the lid, switch to a lower
setting to continue cooking.
Switching to a lower setting at the
right time not only avoids pans boil¬
ing over or food sticking, but also
saves electricity.
The indicator lights above the con¬
trols for the front hotplates or
cooking areas do not come on
when cooking without "automatic
heat-up",
* Cooking with automatic heat-up
control on the front two cooking
areas
For best results when using the
automatic heat-up function:
