Setting the hob
This section informs you 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

is identified by a dot.

Switching off the hotplate

and off. The heat may also switch on and off at the highest
setting.
