USING THE NORMAL AND HIGH-SPEED HOTPLATES
ACM 342 – ACM 342 G – ACM 343
Tip:
The yellow pilot light remains on as long as a hotplate is switched on.
Turn the control knob to the performance level required:
1. Boiling and browning: setting “5” or “6”.
2. Frying: setting “4”.
3. Simmering: setting “2” or “3”.
4. Simmering and warming up: setting “1”.
5. To switch OFF: setting “0”.
x
When necessary select a higher or lower setting.
x
With sensitive foods turn down earlier.
HIGH-SPEED HOTPLATES (RED DOT)
These are used for particularly quick boiling and browning.
TIP FOR ENERGY SAVING
Use the residual heat. For nearly all boiling or frying the hotplates can be switched to “0” 5 – 10 minutes before finishing.
TIPS FOR PANS
x
Use special pans for electric cookers with flat and solid bottoms. Pans with turned bottoms are particularly suitable.
x
Uneven pans require longer cooking times and consume more energy.
x
The pan diameter should be the same as that of the hotplate or slightly larger.
x
To save energy, always use lids.
x
Do not leave any wet or damp lids on the hotplate.
x
Put the pan on the hotplate first, then switch on.
x
Never cook the food directly on the hotplates, but in special pans or containers.
