Changing the heat level
Choose the heating element and in the touch control
zone select the desired setting for continuous cooking.
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.

During cooking, stews or liquid meals such as
soups, sauces or drinks can heat up too quickly
unnoticed and overflow or spatter. For this reason
we recommend that you stir continuously, gradually
heating the food at a suitable power level.
