[. . . ] ­ Use of aluminium kitchenware or stainless steel kitchenware with aluminium bases may produce mother of pearl-coloured stains on your cooker. These will not have a detrimental effect on functioning of the cooking surface, though. ­ The appliance is not suitable for warming up foodstuffs in aluminium foil or in plastic vessels. ­ The glass-ceramic cooker additionally features an individual residual heat display. The residual heat display indicates that, after switching off, a cooking zone has still not cooled down to such an extent that it can be safely touched. It lights up in the residual heat display panel as a red dot for each cooking zone. 4 2.

When it is combined with the EE 214/215 or control consoles, the supply of power is controlled by automatic, brief switching on and off. When the control knobs are set to the highest power stage, an overheating protection facility makes sure that the glass-ceramic disk is not destroyed by excessive temperatures. The SuperQuick cooking zones regulate themselves automatically by switching briefly to the maximum safe final temperature. Fig. 3 2. 3 Energy saving tips ­ Always cook with the lid on. This considerably shortens the time needed for cooking. ­ Pay attention to the right size when choosing pots and pans. The diameters of pots and pans should correspond to that of the hotplate. ­ Kitchenware should consist of suitable material. Remember that high-quality ktchenware will help to minimise energy consumption. ­ Depending on the experience you have gathered, you can switch off the cooking surface at an earlier time. You can make use of residual heat in this way. 5 3. Operation 3. 1 Switching on / off Switching on 0 Switching on: Turn the corresponding control knob to the left or right to the required cooking level (1-9). Note: A few seconds after switching on, the individual residual heat display indicating the chosen cooking zone lights up in the residual heat display panel.

[. . . ] The cooking zone no longer lights up bright red although you have not changed any switch settings. The food you are cooking needs a relatively long time to become hot. Possible cause Mains plug removed or domestic fuse has tripped. This mechanism protects the cooking surface against overheating and serves to keep the supply of heat even. The kitchenware contains a very large amount of food. [. . . ]
