[. . . ] Never turn the hotplate control beyond the m symbol to 0. 7 Operating and residual heat indicator Using residual heat The i operating and residual heat indicator lights up when you switch on a hotplate. The hotplate temperature is controlled by switching the heat on and off, this means that it is not always possible to see the red, glowing heat. If you select a low heat setting, the heat will switch off more often than at higher heat settings. Depending on the angle of vision, the heat may appear to spread beyond the marked boundary of the hotplate. These are technical features and do not influence quality or function. Depending on the surface area of the plate, a small, uneven gap may form between the plate and the hob. Glass ceramic may display surface area irregularities inherent to the material. The glassy surface area of the hob means that tiny blisters with a diameter of less than 1 mm appear with varying intensity. They do not affect the function or the durability of the glass ceramic hob. Notes from the after sales service 8 Cooking This section describes how to adjust the hotplates.
