time will be modified accordingly. If the power is reduced by turning the knob anticlockwise, the heating
accelerator is automatically deactivated.
Powerboost Function
The power function allows the user to operate each heating zone continuously at the maximum power for a
time of no more than 10 minutes. This function can be used, for example, to bring a large amount of water to
the boil in a hurry, or to turn up the heat under meat.
Push and turn the knob clockwise and set heating level 9, then use the knob to set the "B" position and
release il. "B" appears on the corresponding zone display.
After 10 minutes, the power is reduced automatically, "B" led is switched off.
However, the power function can be turned ott at any time by reducing the heating level. .
When the power function is selected for one heating zone, the power absorbed by the second zone might
be reduced to supply the maximum available energy to the first zone.
If a pan is removed from the cooking zone while the power function is on, the function is switched off.
Child lock
The child lock function prevents switching on of the control unit, to avoid unwanted operation, for example by
children, While child lock is activated, no cooking zone can be used.
The child-lock mode is activated by overwinding the two knobs in anti-clockwise direction for mode than 1,5
secs-alternatively: one knob for more 5 secs; AND less than 30 secs to avoid failure detection.
The child-lock is disabled in the same way.
Aktivation/disabling is only possible if both knob input units are in zero position.
Type of pans
This type of appliance can only operate with pans of special kinds.
The bottom of the pan must be iron or steel/iron to generate the magnetic field necessary for the heating
process
Vessels made from the following materials are not suitable:
glass;
porcelain;
pottery;
steel, aluminium or copper without magnetic bottom;
To check that a pan is suitable, simply piece a magnet close to its bottom:
if the magnet is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction cooking.
The pans used for cooking must have certain minimum diameters to ensure satisfactory operation.
Pans larger than the cooking zones can also be used, but it is important to ensure that the bottom of the
pan does not touch other cooking zones, and that it is always centred over the perimeter of the cooking
zone.
Use only vessels specially designed for induction cooking, with thick, completely flat bottom; if these are not
available, the pans used must not have crowned (concave or convex) bottom. (fig.24)
Residual heat
Each cooking zone is equipped with a device which warns of residual heat. After any cooking zone is
switched off, a 'H' may appear on the display. This warns that the cooking zone concerned is still very hot.
Cooking can be restarted while the 'H' is on.
Attention:
Take care not to spill sugar or sweet mixtures onto the hob during cooking, or to place materials or
substances which might melt (plastic or aluminium foil) on it; if this should occur, to avoid damage to the
surface, turn the heating off immediately and clean with the scraper supplied while the cooking zone is still
warm. If the ceramic hob is not cleaned immediately, residues may form which cannot be removed once the
hob has cooled.
Important!
Keep a close eye on children because they are unlikely to see the residual heat warming lights. The cooking
zones are still very hot for some time after use, even if they are switched off. Make sure that children never
touch them.
WARNING: Under no circumstance use aluminium foil or plastic containers to hold the food while cooking on
a glass-ceramic hob.
WARNING: Do not touch the cooking area as long as the light indicating residual heat on the glass-ceramic
hob, is "on"; this indicates that the temperature in the relative area is still high.
