Tips for the electronic boil start control
Electronic boil start control is designed to conserve food's
nutritional value while using little water for cooking.
■ Add only approximately 3 cups of water to the food for large
hotplates and approximately 2 cups of water for small
hotplates.
■ Place a lid on the saucepan.
■ Electronic boil start control is not suitable for food that is
cooked in a large volume of water (e.g. pasta).
Childproof lock and pause function
■ You can use the childproof lock to prevent children from
switching on the hotplates.
■ The pause function allows you to interrupt the heating
process.
Caution!
Water used for cleaning, spilt food and objects placed on the
@ symbol can cause the childproof lock/pause function to be
unintentionally activated or deactivated.

Locking the hob
All hotplates must be switched off. Touch the
@ symbol until
the indicator lamp above the symbol lights up. This takes about
4 seconds. The indicator lamp goes out after about
10 seconds.
Releasing the lock
Touch the
@ symbol until the indicator lamp goes out. This
takes about 4 seconds. The hob is unlocked.
Locked hob
If you set a hotplate on a locked hob, the following occurs:
■ ‹ flashes in the hotplate indicator, or the residual heat
indicator alternates with
‹.
■ The indicator lamp above the @ symbol lights up.
Switch the hotplate off. Release the lock.
Note: The residual heat is displayed, even when the hob is
locked.
Shortening the switch-on time
You can shorten the switch-on time of the childproof lock from
4 seconds to 1 second:
The hotplates must be switched off.
1.Set all 4 hotplates to heat setting 2.
2.Switch off the hotplates one after the other from right to left.
3.Select a heat setting for any hotplate and press the hotplate
control.
4.Switch off the hotplate control.
All displays light up briefly. The switch-on time is shortened.
You can also increase the switch-on time to 4 seconds again.
Proceed in exactly the same way as for shortening it.
