up on the heat setting display.

After about 10 seconds, the residual heat indicator
appears.
■ Use the μ symbol to select the hotplate. Touch the
+ or - symbol until ‹ appears. After about
10 seconds, the residual heat indicator appears.
Notes
■ The last selected hotplate remains activated. You
can adjust the hotplate without selecting it again.
■ Hotplate temperature is regulated by the heat
switching on and off.The heat may also switch on
and off at the highest setting.
This ensures e.g.:
– sensitive components are protected from
overheating
– the appliance is protected from electrical
overload
– better cooking results are achieved
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.
