WARNING
Failure to operate knobs properly may result in 
personal injury and damage to the appliance.
Turning off
Turn the control knob to OFF. When all control knobs are 
in the OFF position, the cooktop is turned off.
Note:  The heat is turned on and off to regulate the 
temperature of the element; this means that the red glow 
below the element is not always visible. When you select 
a low heat setting, the element turns off for longer 
intervals, while at a higher setting these intervals are very 
short. Even at the highest level, the element turns on and 
off.
Settings table
The following table provides some examples. Cooking 
times may vary depending on the type of food, its weight 
and quality. Deviations are therefore possible.

CAUTION
During cooking, stews or liquid meals such as 
soups, sauces or drinks can heat up too quickly 
unnoticed and overflow or spatter. For this reason 
we recommend that you stir continuously, gradually 
heating the food at a suitable power level.
