environmentally-responsible manner.

Environmental protection

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.

Sensor cooking system

The sensor cooking system is suitable for dishes heated in

liquid or lots of fat. When you extend the cooking sensors, you

can cook directly on the adjacent cooking zones with the

sensor cooking system.

Note: The sensor cooking system is not suitable for frying.

How the sensor cooking system works

Every pot containing hot food gives off heat. The cooking

sensor detects this heat and the hob uses this to automatically

regulate the temperature of the pot.

Advantages when cooking

■ The hotplate only heats up when necessary. This saves

energy.

■ Oil and fat do not overheat.

■ Boiling over is prevented and you do not have to keep

correcting the temperature.

Saucepans for the sensor cooking system

Sensor-compatible saucepans have a surface which dissipates

heat to the sensor particularly well. If saucepans are used that

are unsuitable, the adjustment function does not work. The food

could boil over or burn.

Suitable saucepans

You can use suitable enamelled saucepans. The base of the

pot must be large enough to completely cover the hotplate. Use

the supplied sensor strips with stainless steel and aluminium

saucepans.

Sensor strips

The sensor strips enclosed can also be obtained as a special

accessory from your specialist electrical store. Please specify

The temperature ranges

When cooking with the sensor cooking system, instead of

setting heat settings, you set temperature ranges. There are five

temperature ranges available:

Altitude calibration

The point at which water begins to boil depends on the height

of your kitchen above sea level. If your food is boiling too

vigourously or too weakly, you can set the boiling point:

Call up

™… in the basic settings. Select the hotplate. The default

setting is

„. Select the appropriate value for your altitude:

You can find out how to change the values in the Basic settings

section.

Notes

■ At altitudes of 0  400 m, the boiling point need not be set.

Initially, you should cook using the default setting. If you are

not satisfied with the boiling result, change the boiling point

setting.

■ The 90100 °C temperature range is adequate for boiling,

even if the water does not bubble as much as usual.

Cooking with the cooking sensor technology

The hotplate must be selected.

1.Place the food in the pot and fill with at least two fingers'

depth of liquid.

2.Place the pot in the centre of the hotplate and cover with the

lid.

3.Press the cooking sensor on the desired hotplate so that it

pops out. The

‘ in the display lights up. The possible

temperature ranges appear in the display menu.

4.Within the next 10 seconds, set the desired temperature on

the settings range. The temperature lights up in the display.

The sensor cooking system is activated.

The temperature symbol remains lit until the temperature is

reached. Then a signal sounds. The temperature symbol goes

out. The sensor cooking system maintains the temperature of

the saucepan within the set temperature range.

Switching off the sensor cooking system

Switch off the hotplate. Depress the cooking sensor, so that the

sensor window does not get dirty.

Notes

■ You can also place the food in hot water. Fill the pot with

liquid only. Adjust the settings as described in points 3 and 4.

When the temperature is reached and a signal sounds, add

the food to the liquid.

■ The top of the depressed cooking sensor gets hot if the

adjacent hotplate is switched on.

Table of cooking times for the sensor cooking system

The table shows which temperature range is suitable for which

dish. Cooking times may depend on the type, weight and

quality of the food.

Deep frying food

Never leave fat heating unattended - risk of fire.

Deep-frying fat

Only use a suitable oil or fat for deep frying, e.g. vegetable oil.

Break blocks of fat into small pieces. Make sure that there is

enough fat in the pot. The minimum level is the width of two

fingers.

Unsuitable fat

Mixtures of fat, e.g. oil and fat or various types of fat, are not

suitable. The hot fat may froth up.

Heating the fat

Heat the fat in a pot with a lid. When the signal sounds, the fat

is hot. You can then deep fry the food.

Deep-fat frying

Always deep fry without a lid on the pot.

1. Add the first portion and deep fry.

2. Take it out. If the temperature symbol does not light up, the

fat is hot enough for the next portion. If it does light up, do not

add the next portion until the signal sounds and the

temperature symbol goes out.

3. Deep fry the next portion.

Tips for cooking

Sensor frying system

If you operate the hotplate with the sensor frying system, a

sensor regulates the temperature of the pan.

Advantages when frying

The hotplate only heats up when necessary. This saves energy.

Oil and fat do not overheat.

Notes

■ Never leave fat unattended while you are heating it.

■ Put the pan in the centre of the hotplate. 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 splatter guard; it will not prevent the

regulator from working.

■ Only use fat that is suitable for frying. For butter, margarine,

olive oil or lard, select the min frying setting.
