USING THE HOB
Before you begin, it is important to know:
All functions of this hob are designed in order to comply with
the most stringent safety regulations.
For this reason:
• Some functions will not be activated, or will be
automatically deactivated, in the absence of pots on the
burners or when they are poorly positioned.
• In other cases the activated functions will be automatically
deactivated after a few seconds when the specific function
requires a further setting that has not been selected (e.g.:
“Turn the hob on” without “Selecting the cooking zone”
and the “Operating temperature”, or the “Lock Function”
or the “Timer” function).
Warning! In the case (for example) of prolonged use,
the cooking zone may not immediately shut down because it
is in the cooling phase; the “ ” symbol will appear on the
cooking zone display, to indicate the execution of this phase.
Wait for the display to turn off before approaching the cooking
zone.
