[. . . ] Overheated oil and fat Overheated oil or fat can ignite very quickly. Never leave heating oil or fat unsupervised. Should the oil ignite, do not try to put it out by pouring water on it. Cover the pan with a lid or plate immediately. [. . . ] Never turn the hotplate control beyond the m symbol to 0. 7 Operating and residual heat indicator Using residual heat The i operating and residual heat indicator lights up when you switch on a hotplate. After you have finished cooking, it indicates residual heat. It goes out when the hotplate has cooled down sufficiently. You can use this residual heat economically, e. g. to keep a small meal warm or to melt chocolate. The hotplate temperature is controlled by switching the heat on and off, this means that it is not always possible to see the red, glowing heat. If you select a low heat setting, the heat will switch off more often than at higher heat settings. The heat also switches on and off at the highest setting. There may be a gentle buzzing as the hotplates heat up. The heat may show differently on the individual hotplates. Depending on the angle of vision, the heat may appear to spread beyond the marked boundary of the hotplate. These are technical features and do not influence quality or function. Depending on the surface area of the plate, a small, uneven gap may form between the plate and the hob. For this reason, the hob has an elastic seal all the way round. Glass ceramic may display surface area irregularities inherent to the material. The glassy surface area of the hob means that tiny blisters with a diameter of less than 1 mm appear with varying intensity. They do not affect the function or the durability of the glass ceramic hob. Notes from the after sales service 8 Cooking This section describes how to adjust the hotplates. The table shows the heat settings and cooking times for various food dishes. The following tips help to save energy. Setting procedure Adjust the heat setting of the hotplate using the hotplate control. 0 = hotplate off hotplate 1 = lowest setting hotplate 9 = highest setting Table The following table provides a few examples. The cooking time may vary depending on the type of food, its weight, and quality. Examples: Heat setting 1 1 12 34 78 2 56 3 3 4 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 Melting chocolate, chocolate coating gelatine butter vegetables (tin) stock stew, e. g. [. . . ] Only deep fat fry for a short time (until the food is golden brown). Be aware of the fried product to fat ratio. It should be 1:10 to a maximum of 1:15, e. g. Soak fresh potato pieces for one hour before deep fat frying. Shallow frying Make fried potatoes using cooked potatoes. [. . . ]
