Cooktop controls
By using the individual burner control
knobs, temperatures can be freely se-
lected.
The controls can be turned either clock-
wise or counter clockwise.
The indicator lamp for each burner
lights as soon as the respective control
knob is turned to a setting.
It will go out when the contol knob is
turned to the ”0“ position.
A resistance can be felt between set-
tings 7 and 8 to indicate that the high
temperature range is being entered.
Correct procedure:
Place the pot of food on the burner.
Select a high setting for boiling or
searing meat.
Once steam appears on the edge of
the lid, turn to a lower setting for con-
tinued cooking.
Reducing the temperature at the cor-
rect time . . .
. . . prevents food from overcooking.
. . . prevents food from burning.
. . . saves energy.
