Environmental protection

This appliance is labelled in accordance with the European Directive 2002/96/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (WEEE - waste electrical and electronic equipment). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable.
Tips for saving energy
Always use the right lid for the pan in question. Cooking without the lid requires four times as much energy.
Use pots and pans with even bases. Using cookware with uneven bases increases energy consumption.
The diameter of the base of your pot or pan should match the size of the hotplate. In particular, if pots that are too small are
placed on the hotplate, energy is wasted. Please note: Cookware manufacturers often specify the diameter of the top of the pan. This is usually bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan.
Use a small pan for small quantities of food. A larger, less full saucepan requires more energy.
Use only a little water when cooking. This saves energy. It also preserves vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
- Switch to a lower heat setting as soon as possible.
Use the residual heat of the hob. For longer cooking times, you can switch the hotplate off 5 - 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
Getting to know your appliance
An overview of the models with their dimensions is given on page 2.

The control panel
Hotplate and residual heat indicators
The hotplate and residual heat indicators light up when a hotplate is warm:
Hotplate indicator - during operation, shortly after you have switched on a hotplate.
Residual heat indicator - after cooking, when the hotplate is still warm.
You can use the residual heat to save energy, e.g. to keep a small dish warm or to melt chocolate.
Setting the hob
This section informs you 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.
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.
Setting a hotplate
Adjust the heat setting of the hotplates using the hotplate controls.
Heat setting 1 = lowest setting
Heat setting 9 = highest setting
The symbol in the display panel indicates the hotplate to which the display relates: e.g. ± for the right rear hotplate.
Note: Hotplate temperature is regulated by the heat switching on and off. The heat may also switch on and off at the highest setting.
When heating thick liquids, stir regularly.
For bringing liquids to the boil, use heat setting 9.
