OPERATION
Important!
When there is no power, the residual
heat indicator does not light up.
The residual heat indicator
The hob is also equipped with a residual heat
indicator “H” Even if a cooking zone is not
directly heated, it takes in heat from the base
of a pot or pan. As long as the “H” symbol is
lit, any residual heat can be used for heating a
pot or pan or melting fat. When the indication
goes out, you can touch the cooking zone,
bearing in mind that it still does not have the
ambient temperature.
Automatic parboiling function
All four cooking zones are fitted with a spe-
cial function which allows each of them to
start on full heating power regardless of the
power currently set. After a certain time the
heating power returns to that which is set
(from 1 to 8) To use this function, choose the
level which is to be used to heat the dish, or
to which the power is to return.
The auto parboiling function is useful
when...
dishes are cold at the start of cooking and
need intensive heating, so that they can
then be cooked on low power so that they
do not need to be constantly watched
(e.g. beef ragout).
The auto parboiling function is not useful
when...
baking or steaming a dish which needs to
be stirred, mixed or have water added;
you are boiling pasta or dumplings in a
large amount of water;
you are preparing dishes which require
long cooking in a pressure cooker.
Important!
After disconnecting from the mains,
the child lock function is activated.
You can disable any of the cooking zones by
activating the child lock function. This protects
your children.
