Setti ng the cooki ng time
This chapter explains how to set a hotplate. The table
shows heat settings and cooking times for various
meals.
Setting procedure
Adjust the heat setting of the individual hotplates using
the hotplate controls.
Position 0 = off
Position 1 = lowest heat setting
Position 9 = highest heat setting
When you switch on a hotplate, the indicator lamp lights
up.
Large dual-circuit hotplate
You can change the size of this hotplate.
Switching on the large area
Turn the hotplate control to position 9 - where you will
feel a slight resistance - then continue turning to the
ð symbol = large dual-circuit hotplate
Then immediately turn it back to the desired heat
setting.
Switching back to the small area
Turn the hotplate control to 0 and make new settings.
The small dual-circuit hotplate is particularly good for
heating small amounts.
Caution!
Never turn the hotplate control beyond the ð symbol to
0.
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.
When heating thick liquids, stir regularly.
For bringing liquids to the boil, use heat setting 9.
