Before using for the first time
- Before using for the first time, clean the
appliance with a damp cloth. Then rub dry.
How to use
- As soon as the mains plug has been inserted in
the wall socket, the green pilot light "Stand by"
(B) will go on (fig. 2 on page 46).
- Select the required level of heating by pressing
. (E.g. if level 4 is selected, LEDs 1, 2, 3 and
4 will be on.) (Fig. 3.)
- Start cooking by pressing I (fig. 4).
When the appliance is not started within
30 seconds after selecting the required level,
the appliance will automatically switch back to
"Stand by" position.
• During operation the appliance can be switched
to another heating level by pressing
temperature) or
(lower temperature).
• The cooling fan (H) will automatically switch on
or off depending on the selected heating level
and the operation.
The appliance will automatically switch back
from level 6 or 5 to level 4 before it gets too hot.
When it has cooled down sufficiently, it will
automatically switch back to the selected
heating level.
• When the cooking zone becomes hot, warning
light "Hot" (F) will go on at the front right-hand
side of the glass ceramic plate (fig. 5).
- The appliance can be switched back to "Stand
by" position by pressing I again (fig. 6).
• After switching off, warning light "Hot" (F) will
continue to blink to indicate that the cooking
zone is still hot (fig. 7).
CAUTION: When the appliance is disconnected
from the mains while warning light "Hot" (F) was
blinking and then plugged in again (even if
immediately afterwards), the warning light will
not come on again.
Tips:
• As the appliance largely works by means of
heat radiation, virtually any type of pan can be
used!
• When using glass pans, avoid thermal shock
conditions: do not place a cold pan on a hot
cooker or a hot pan on a cold cooker.
Do not let glass pans boil dry.
• A pan with a too small diameter or a too bright
(reflecting) and/or not flat bottom will, however,
reduce the heat transmission, leading to a lower
energy utilization and a longer cooking time.

reheated. This makes cleaning more difficult and
the glass hot plate may be damaged.
