By pressing the + button you may increase the power up to level 10.
By pressing the – button you may reduce the power down to level 1.
When pressing either the + or the – button repeatedly, you increase/reduce the power stepwise.
Note: The temperature at the bottom of the cooking utensil is checked by a sensor in the centre
of the cooktop.
The maximum tolerable temperature for the power level operating mode is 200 °C.
Therefore, the power level operating mode is ideal to boil water or for steaming.
10 Temperature levels - from 60 °C to 240 °C
Activate the “TEMP” button to change over to the temperature level operating mode. This is
signalled by the value shown on the display and simultaneous glowing of the “TEMP” LED.
The initial value after setting the temperature operating mode for the fi rst time is 120 °C.
By pressing the + button you may increase the preset temperature up to 240 °C in steps of 20.
By pressing the – button you may reduce the present temperature down to 60 °C in steps of 20.
When pressing either the + or the – button repeatedly, you increase/reduce the temperature
stepwise.
When the required temperature is reached, the power supply is controlled in cycles ensuring the
desired temperature is maintained.
Note: The temperature at the bottom of the cooking utensil is read by a sensor in the centre of
the cooktop. The regulation will only function properly if this area is covered with the cooking
utensil. The cooking utensil should have a fl at and not too thick bottom to ensure a good heat
transfer.
The maximum tolerable temperature for the temperature level operating mode is 240 °C. There-
fore, the temperature level operating mode is ideal for roasting, grilling or frying.
Changing between power level and temperature level operating modes
You may change from the power level setting to the temperature level setting and vice versa at
any time.
To change over to the temperature level setting, activate the “TEMP” button during the power
level operating mode.
To change over to the power level setting, activate the “POWER” button during the temperature
level operating mode.
The value last set in the respective operating mode will be stored upon switch-over.
Setting the operating time (Timer) – from 1 up to 180 minutes
The operating time can be activated during both the power level and the temperature
level setting.
Press the “TIMER” button in order to activate the operating time setting. As long as you are
adjusting the timer, the “TIMER” LED is glowing.
By pressing the + button repeatedly, you can increase the preset operating time up to
180 minutes at 5-minute intervals at a time.
By pressing the – button repeatedly, you can reduce the preset operating time down to 1 minute
at 1-minute intervals.
Attention: If you reduce the operating time down to 0 minutes manually, the control will switch
over to stand-by mode!
