Melting function
If the knob is turned clockwise from zero position the first "power level" reached is the melting function.
The according 7 segment display unit shows this "u" symbol. The melting function is used to heat up
the bottom of the pot (40°C / 105°F inside the pot). This function is used to melt food. The maximum
time for using the melting function is limited to 2 hours.
Warming function
The warming function is the second "power level" which will be selected when turning the knob
clockwise. The according 7 segment display unit shows this "U" symbol. The warming function is used
to heat up the bottom of the pot to 70°C / 160°F (65°C / 150°F inside the pot). Using this function
the food can be kept warm or it can be used to warm up food gently.
The maximum time for using the warming function is limited to 2 hours.
Simmer function - only available on Bridge or Griddle (leftmost zones) of 48" range
The simmering function is the third "power level" which can be selected when turning the knob
clockwise. The segmented display will indicate this setpoint as "Π". The simmering function is used
to heat up the bottom of the pot to 95°C / 205°F (90°C / 195°F inside the pot).
Use this function for cooking that requires a moderate heat to gently soften foods while slowly combining
seasonings and ingredients.
This is often used for soups, stews and slow cooking meat. The definition of simmer is to cook a liquid
just below the boiling point of 212 °F (100°C).
The maximum time for using the warming function is limited to 2 hours.
Booster function
To activate the boost function press and turn the knob clockwise in overwind position "P" until a beep
sounds. The symbol is as shown "P" and will be displayed. After 10 minutes the boost function will be
automatically switched off and the "P" is not shown on the display anymore and the induction control
will be set automatically at level 9.
Bridge function
On 48'' ranges, the two left zones can be bridged (joined) to function as a single elongated cooking
zone.
Of the two cooking zones, the rear-left is the "passive cooking zone" and the front-left is the "master
cooking zone". To bridge the two zones together: simultaneously turn both zones' knobs clockwise all
the way to position "P" (Power Boost) and hold them there for at least 3s. Release both knobs which
will spring back to the setting of 9. The knob for the rear zone must remain in this position to maintain
the bridge. The display for that zone will show three dashes indicating it is bridged.
Now the knob for the front zone can be used to adjust the power level which will affect both zones
equally effectively operating as a single zone.
If the master control knob is turned to the off position or if the passive (rear) zone knob is adjusted at
all the bridge mode will be canceled and each zone will once again operate independently.
Cookware recognition function
The cooking level of cooking zone can be selected by turning the knob to the according position even
if no pot is in place. The output of power starts automatically as soon as an appropriate pot is put on
the cooking zone. If no pot is being detected the display changes to the shown "pot missing" symbol
after a short time. This symbol will be shown until a appropriate pot is put on the cooking zone or the
maximum time of 10 minutes expired. The same applies if the pot is removed during normal cooking.
After 10 minutes without detected pot the cooking zone switches off automatically and can only be
activated again after returning the knob into the OFF position.
