Residual Heat Indicators
When the temperature of a cooking plate is above 65°C, the relevant
H
in the touch control display is
also lit-up (with the cooking plate switched off) to warn of heat on the surface of the hob.
This
H
symbol also stays on after the touch control panel has been switched off to shown that the hob
surface is still hot.
This residual heat lasts for a rather long time after the cooking plate has been switched off.
During this time you should avoid touching the hob surface over the cooking area.
Please pay special attention to ensure that children are not allowed near the hob.
The
H
symbol will switch off automatically as soon as the surface temperature of the cooking plate falls
below 65 °C.
Cooking Hints:
– To reduce the cooking time, you can set the fast cooking function (cf. section “ Fast Automatic Heating
of the Cooking Zones” at page 12).
– You should use pots and pans with flat bases (pans with the test mark for glass-ceramic hobs are available
from specialist shops).
– The diameter of the pan should match that of the cooking plate (or be slightly bigger) to make the most
of the energy.
– Since the cooking surface stays hot for a certain time after the plate has been switched off, you can
switch it off 5 or 10 minutes before the end of the cooking.
The residual heat of the hob will complete the cooking.
– To save electricity, use pan lids whenever possible.
Never cook the food
directly on the glass
ceramic cooktop, but
in special pans or
containers.
WARNING:
Hobs become very hot
with use, and retain
their heat for a long
time after cooking
has finished (about 30
minutes).
Children should be
supervised at all times
and be prevented
from touching the hot
surfaces, until such
time as the appliance
has cooled.
