indicator light on the push rotary temperature control knob is lit during the heating
up process. As soon as the set temperature is reached, the indicator light goes off.
Time Setting
The duration of appliance operation is set with the push rotary time control knob. By
rotating the push rotary time control knob you may set the required time in the
range of 0:01–59:90 minutes and in 6-second increments. With a short press of the
push rotary time control knob the set time is stored, the timer is activated, and the
remaining time is displayed on digital display (it is counted down in 6-second
increments).
The red indicator light in the push rotary time control knob blinks every second.
When the time elapses, the acoustic signal is generated. To switch off the signal,
press the push rotary time control knob shortly.
NOTE!
When the set time elapses, the appliance does not switch to standby mode
— the heating element is still active. The timer has no influence onto the
heating function.
The previously set time is displayed again on the digital display and another pasta
portion may be cooked. To this end, press the push rotary time control knob.
The appliance may also be used without the timer if the push rotary time control
knob is not activated through pushing it.
Food Preparation
NOTE!
Before putting the pasta basket with food into the basin., salt the water
heated in the basin.
1. Put the lid on.
2. Heat water to the set temperature.
The red indicator light on the push rotary temperature control knob is lit during the
