3. Operation

3.1 Operation time limit

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).
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.

3.3 How to cut power consumption

The following are a few useful hints to help you cut your
consumption of energy and use your new induction hob
and the cookware effi ciently.
• 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
10
pressure cooker since the cooking zone and the cooker
5
may be damaged as a result of overheating if the pres-
5
sure cooker boils dry.
4
• Always close cooking pots with a suitable lid.
3
• Use the right pot for the quantity of food you are cook-
2
ing. A large pot which is hardly fi lled will use up a lot of
2
energy.

3.4 Power settings

The heating power of the cooking zones can be set at
various power levels. In the chart you will fi nd examples of
how to use each setting.

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!
