AEG VITRAMIC 725K - Manual (Page 8)

Using the hotplates
Important
If the surface is cracked or fractured, the hob
must not be used. The hob should be
switched off at the mains supply and AEG
Service Department called immediately.
■ After switching on the hob you will hear a
faint hum. Do not be concerned. This noise
is simply a feature of the radiant heating
system and does not effect the operation of
the hob.
■ Your hob has four heat residual warning
lights - these remain “lit” even when the
cooking zone has been switched off, so
long as the temperature of the ceramic
surface is still dangerously high. The light
goes out only when the temperature has
.fallen to a safe level.
Do not leave articles standing on the hob.
Do not prepare dishes in aluminium foil or
plastic containers on heated cooking zones.
Keep the hotplates clean at all times - dirty
plates waste energy and could result in
permanent discolouration of the glass.
Take advantage of the residual heat: turn
the hotplates off 5-10 minutes before the
end of the cooking time.
Operation of the hotplates
General
The hotplate is OFF when the “0” is next to the
dot.
The output can be varied by turning the control
knobs clockwise or anticlockwise.
