Changing the heat level
Select the element and touch the number key for the
desired heat level. To select an intermediate
level, touch
the o symbol located between the heat level numbers.
Turning off the element
Select the element and set the heat level to 0. The
element is turned off and the residual heat indicator is
displayed.
Note:
The heat is turned on and off to regulate the
temperature
of the element; this means that the red glow
below the element is not always visible. When you select
a low heat setting, the element turns off for longer
intervals, while at a higher setting these intervals are very
short. Even at the highest level, the element turns on and
off.
