necessary.

Two cooking zones alongside each other have
no effect on each other. So you can set them
both to a high setting at the same time. You
will hear a ticking sound if two cooking zones
one in front of the other are switched on at the
same time. This is caused by the appliance
switching over from the rear cooking zone to
the front one and back again.
Zones alongside each other can both be set to
a high setting at the same time.
Getting use to it...
To start with, you will be surprised by the
speed of the appliance. In particular, bringing
things to the boil on the higher setting is very
fast. To prevent a dish boiling over or boiling
dry, the best thing is to always stay beside the
hob. In the case of induction cooking, it is only
the part of the zone on which the pan stands
that is used. If you use a small pan on a large
zone, the power will be adjusted to the
diameter of the pan.
The power will thus be lower and it will take
longer before the food in the pan comes to the
boil. You will achieve the best result by using
a pan that has the same dimensions as the
cooking zone. If you use a pan with a base
that is too small, the cooking zone will not
switch on.The minimum pan base diameter is
12 cm.
Setting 9
Only switch the hob on at setting 9 if you want
to boil water. This setting is too high for
heating butter or milk and much too high for
defrosting.
Consult the cooking tables on page 94 to help
you learn the techniques.
Setting 8
Setting 8 is the grill setting. This setting is
suitable for grilling meat. Setting 9 is far too
fast for this; the milk constituents in the
margarine burn before the margarine has
melted.
Residual heat indicator
The indicator shows that the cooking zone is
still hot and goes out as soon as the glass top
reaches a safe. The indicator becomes visible
after the zone has been switched off.
Residual heat is shown in the display with a
blinking H.
Timer function
The cooking timer swithces off the cooking
zone rear right only.
1. Put a pan on the cooking zone.
2. Switch the cooking zone rear right on.
3. Set a time (0-99 minutes) with the + and -
buttons of the timer.
The cooking timer only operates if the zone for
which you would like the set a time (rear right)
is switched on.
You can change the remaining time during the
cooking process always.
After the time you have set has been expired,
the cooking zone rear right is switched off and
you will hear a beep.
You can switch the beep off at the end of the
cooking time by the + or - button of the timer.
If you do not switch the beep off, it will stop
automatically after 2 minutes.
Cooking-time limiter
The cooking-time limiter is a safety function of
your hob. It switches the cooking zones off
after a certain time, depending on the setting:
Setting Automatic switch-off after:
1 up to 4 8 hours
5 up to 7 2 hours
8 up to 9 1 hours
