4 Operation

4.1 Operation time limit

The induction hob has an automatic time limit function. The
duration of continuous use of each cooking zone depends
on the cooking level selected (see chart).
This requires 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.
The automatic switch-off function overrules the operation
time limit, i.e. the cooking zone is only switched off when
the period of time of the automatic switch-off device has
expired (e.g. automatic switch-off after 99 minutes and
cooking level 9 is possible).

(e.g. when a pan is mistakenly put onto a sensor key) no
function will be activated.
An acoustic signal sounds and ER03 will appear. After a
few seconds the appliance will switch off . Please remove
the item located in front of the sensor keys.
To delete press the same key or switch the hob off and on.

3.5 Residual heat display

The glass ceramic hob is equipped with an H as a
residual heat indicator.
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!
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 suffi cient fl uid in your
pressure cooker since the cooking zone and the cooker
may be damaged as a result of overheating if the pres-
sure cooker boils dry.
Always close cooking pots with a suitable lid.
Use the right pot for the quantity of food you are cook-
ing. A large pot which is hardly fi lled will use up a lot of
energy.
