In this section, you can find out how to set the

hotplates. The table shows heat settings and cooking

times for various meals.

Switching the hob on and off

You can switch the hob on and off with the hotplate

controls.

When the hob is switched on, the heat setting display

lights up.

Setting a hotplate

Adjust the heat setting of the hotplates using the

hotplate controls.

0 = hotplate off

Heat setting 1 = lowest setting

Heat setting 9 = highest setting

There is an intermediate setting between each heat

setting. This is identified by a dot.

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.

Tips for energy-saving cooking can be found in the

Environmental protection section.~ Page 5
