Operation
The hob has an automatic time limit function. The duration of
continuous use of each cooking zone depends on the cooking
level selected (see chart),
provided that the setting of a respective cooking zone is not
adjusted during use. If the operation time limit has been
activated, the cooking zone will switch off, a short signal will
sound and an H will appear in the display.

How to cut power consumption
The following are a few useful hints to help you cut your
consumption of energy and use your new hob and the cookware
efficiently.
• The base of your cooking pots should be the same size as the
cooking zone.
• When buying cooking pots, note that it is frequently the
diameter of the top of the pot that it indicated. This is usually
larger than the base of a pot.
• Pressure cookers are particularly low on energy and time
required thanks to the pressure and the fact that they are
tightly closed. Short cooking times mean that vitamins are
preserved.
• Always make sure that there is sufficient fluid in your pressure
cooker since the cooking zone and the cooker may be
damaged as a result of overheating if the pressure cooker
boils dry.
• Always close cooking pots with a suitable lid.
• Use the right pot for the quantity of food you are cooking.
A large pot which is hardly filled will use up a lot of energy.
Power settings
The heating power of the cooking zones can be set at various
power levels. In the chart you will find examples of how to use
each setting.

Residual heat display
The glass ceramic hob is equipped with an H as a
residual heat display.
As long as the H lights up after the cooking zone has
been switched off, the residual heat can be used for
melting food or for keeping food warm.
The cooking zone may still be hot when the letter H no longer
lights up. Risk of burns!
