introduction
The ceramic glass hob is resistant to all temperature shocks.
Neither the heat or the cold will damage the hob. On the
glass work surface the 4 cooking zones are indicated by a
circle. The base of the pan should correspond with this circle.
You may turn the switch either to the left or the right. The
switch has 12 settings, you can also select any setting in
between. The ceramic hob is fitted with a residual-heat
indicator.

2 Turn the control knobs to the required setting.
The various cooking settings can be found in the table on the
following page.
residual-heat indicator
The indicator shows that the cooking zone is still hot, and
goes out as soon as the glass top reaches a safe
temperature.
Residual heat is indicated with a light on the glass top.
The cooking zone can be switched off 5-10 minutes before
the food is cooked. If the food is in a covered pan, it will
continue to simmer on the residual heat.
