- Malfunction: Always turn the control knob to the “Off” position when the appliance is not being used.
Environmental protection
The sections below list a number of energy-saving tips and provide information on disposing of your appliance. Saving energy
- Choose a burner of roughly the same size as your pan. Place the cookware in the middle.
- Use small saucepans for small quantities. Using a large saucepan with little in it consumes a lot of energy.
- Always place suitable lids on saucepans. Cooking without a lid consumes significantly more energy. Usea glass lid so that you can see into the pan without having to lift the lid.
- Cook with only a little water. This will save energy and preserve the vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
- Switch to a lower heat setting in good time. This will save energy.
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.

luminous disc behind the control knob flashes after switching off, to indicate
that the appliance has still not cooled down to such an extent that it can be
touched safely.
Safety shut-off
For your safety, the appliance has a safety shut-off function. The appliance
is automatically switched off if it has been in operation for an extended
period. How long the appliance waits before switching itself off depends on
the setting (setting 12 = 1 hour, setting 1 = 4 hours). The illuminated ring
behind the control knob will flash orange and white alternately. Turn the
control knob to 0. You will now be able to start the appliance again as usual.
Table of settings and tips
Tips for
cooking and roasting
The values given in the settings table must be looked upon as recommended
values. The heat required depends not only on the type and condition of the
food but also on the size and contents of the pot. Due to the high performance
of the cooktop, fat and oil will heat up quickly. Never leave the cooktop
unattended, fat can ignite, food can burn.
Tips for using a wok
Note: When you cook using a wok, place the wok ring onto the pan support
over the wok burner. Make sure that the wok is stable on the wok ring when you
are cooking. We recommend using woks with a domed base. You can order a high-
quality wok as an optional accessory (WP 400 001). When cooking with the wok,
use only cooking oil that is suitable for heating to high temperatures, such
as groundnut oil. Cook the ingredients at high heat, while stirring
constantly. Do not cook them for too long. The vegetables should be al dente.
For stirring the food and for taking it out of the pan, it is best to use a
shallow ladle with a long handle made from a heat-resistant material
.
Information and tips regarding cookware
The following information and tips have been provided tohelp you save energy and avoid damaging your cookware.
Suitable cooking vessels
Burner| Recommended pan
base diameter
| Minimum pan
