Using the ceramic hob
The hob can not be used if the oven is not switched on, see page 33.
The hob has four heating zones with:
•
MIN
./
MAX
.
SIZE
on the right rear zone.
•
A
SWIVEL
WINDOW
which provides
information about the zone.
•
AUTOMAX
, an automatic heater-
whereby the zone heats up rapidly to
the heating level you need (for
cooking/roasting) without it being
necessary to change the knob setting.
•
HEAT
WARNER
. When you have
switched off a zone, the swivel
window lights up
H
as long as the
zone is hotter than about 55°C.
•
AUTOMATIC
SWITCH
-
OFF
after a time.
The higher the heating level, the
earlier the zone is switched off.
The glass in the hob tolerates, heat, cold and
temperature shocks, but is sensitive to
impact. A spice jar or grinder falling onto the
plate could crack it. Never use the hob to
stand on, off-load materials onto or use as a
storage area.
