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.
Setting a hotplate
Adjust the heat setting of the hotplates using the
hotplate controls.
Heat setting 1 = lowest setting
Heat setting 9 = highest setting
Note: 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
You can find a few examples in the following table.
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 4
