Environmental protection
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used
electrical and electronic appliances (waste
electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE). The
guideline determines the framework for the return
and recycling of used appliances as applicable
throughout the EU.
Tips for saving energy
▯ Always use a correctly fitting lid for the
pan.Cooking without the lid requires four times as
much energy. A glass lid allows you to observe
the cooking without having to lift the lid off.
▯ Use pots and pans with level bases. Using
cookware with unlevel bases increases energy
consumption.
▯ The diameter of the base of your pot or pan
should match the size of the hotplate. In
particular, if pots that are too small are placed on
a hotplate, energy is wasted. Please note:
Cookware manufacturers often specify the
diameter of the top of the pan. This is usually
bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan.
▯ Use a small pan for small quantities of food. A
large saucepan containing little food requires
more energy.
▯ Use only a little water when cooking. This will
save energy. It also preserves vitamins and
minerals in vegetables.
▯ Switch to a lower heat setting as soon as
possible.
▯ Use the residual heat of the hob. For longer
cooking times, you can switch the hotplate off as
early as 5 - 10 minutes before the end of the
cooking time.

Removing the magnetic knob
The magnetic knob is removable. This makes it easier
to clean the cooktop.
If you remove the magnetic knob while the cooktop is
in operation, all cooking zones are switched off after
3seconds.
ã Risk of fire!
If you place a metal object on the twistpad within
3 seconds, the cooktop may continue to heat up. For
this reason, always switch off the cooktop using the
main switch.
Storing the magnetic knob
The magnetic knob contains a strong magnet. Keep
the magnetic knob away from magnetic data carriers,
such as video cassettes, diskettes, credit cards or
cards with magnetic strips. The data these contain
could otherwise be wiped. They can also cause
interference in television sets and monitors.
ã Warning!
For wearers of electronic implants, e.g. pacemakers or
insulin pumps. Implants could be affected by magnetic
fields. You must therefore never carry the magnetic
knob in a pocket in your clothing. They must be kept at
least 10 cm from pacemakers.
Note: The magnetic knob has a magnet. Metal
particles which stick to the underside can scratch the
ceramic cooktop. Always wipe the magnetic knob
thoroughly.

Quick boil timer
Frying sensor function
All of the cooking zones have quick boil timer. By
activating the quick boil timer, the heat setting that is
set increases to the maximum setting for a few
minutes. This means that the simmering temperature
for the food is reached sooner.
Once the boiling time has elapsed, the appliance
automatically switches to the heat setting that was set.
You can set the duration of the boiling time.
You cannot activate the quick boil timer in heat setting
9.
Switching on the quick boil timer

5 Within 5 seconds, you can change the boiling
time. The default setting is 3 minutes. You can use
the magnetic knob to set a time of between 1 and
20 minutes.
You can set different boiling times for each individual
cooking position. If you reactivate the quick boil timer,
the last boiling time that you set remains as the
presetting.
After the food has been brought to the boil, only the
ongoing cooking setting remains lit on the display.
Switching off the quick boil timer
The triple circuit cooking zone has a frying sensor
function. If you operate the hotplate using the frying
sensor function, the sensor regulates the temperature
of the pan. The hotplate only heats up when
necessary. This will save energy. Oil and fat do not
overheat.
The frying sensor function can only be operated with
the centre area. When the frying sensor function is
set, the centre area is switched on automatically.
Notes
‒ Never leave fat unattended while you are heating
it.
‒ Place the pan in the centre of the cooking zone.
Make sure that the base of the pan has the
correct diameter.
‒ Do not place a lid on the pan, otherwise the
regulator will not work. You can use a spatter
guard.
‒ Select the min frying setting if you are using olive
oil?. If you are using an oil or fat that? can be
heated to high temperatures, e.g. refined? plant
oils or clarified butter,? you can use all the frying
settings.
