24COOKING HINTS■ To reduce the cooking time, you can turn the control knob to the max when you switchthe plate on.After a short time you will set the control knob to the required position for the cooking.■ You should use pots and pans with flat bases (pans with the test mark for glass ceramichobs are available from specialist shops).The diameter of the pan should match that of the cooking plate (or be slightly bigger)to make the most of the energy.■ Since the cooking surface stays hot for a certain time after the plate has been switchedoff, you can switch it off 5 or 10 minutes before the end of the cooking.The residual heat of the hob will complete the cooking.■ To save electricity, use pan lids whenever possible.■ Never cook the food directly on the glass ceramic cooktop, but in special pansor containers.■ Do not scratch the cooktop with cutting or sharp objects. Do not use the glassceramic surface as a work surface.RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATORSThe hob also features no.4 warning lampswhich are wired to the corresponding plate.When the temperature of a cooking plate isover 60°C, the warning lamp is also lit-upto warn of heat on the surface of the hob.This lamp also stays on after the cookingplate has been switched off to shown thatthe hob surface is still hot.This residual heat lasts for a rather longtime after the cooking plate has beenswitched off.During this spell of time you shouldavoid touching the hob surface overthe cooking plate; please pay specialattention to children.The lamp will switch off automatically assoon as the surface temperature of thecooking plate falls below 60°C.Caution!The cooking hob becomes very hotduring operation.Keep children well out of reach.Figure 244
