5.4 Information on the hotplates
Dark areas in the glow pattern of the hotplate are part
of the technical design. They do not affect the function-
ality of the hotplate.
The hotplate regulates the temperature by switching the
heat on and off. The heat may also switch on and off
when at the highest setting.
Reasons:
¡ Easily damaged components are protected against
overheating.
¡ The appliance is protected against electrical over-
load.
