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.
