The control uses only the 15% of the available power,
divided in 0 to 9 steps with a better accuracy.
Keep in mind that power level 9 in this special mode
correspond exactly to level 4 in the standard range.
Select the zone and touch the [LOW TEMP] key again
in order to disable the Low Power Scale and restore the
standard one, without switching off the zone.
Pay attention: the level remains the same but the
power increases.
Switching off a cooking zone as described below
disables the Low Power mode. When the zone will be
selected again it will start to work in the standard power
mode.
Switching an element off
Touch the related [OFF] key (ref.1) in order to stop a
heating element.
You may turn off all active elements at the same time by
touching the main [ON/OFF] key.
Dual element activation (36” only)
Select a double heating area touching the related
[ON] key, the HOT SURFACE led (ref.3) begins to
flash.
The external element is automatically actuated only
if the diameter of the pan is a little bit larger than the
inner circle.
The dual element enabling indication (ref.5a) is on
when the element is enabled, is off when the element
is disabled.
Hot surface indicator light
Each element has a HOT SURFACE indicator light
(ref.3) to show when the cooking area is hot.
This indication turns on when the zone is activated and
remains ON until the cooking area has cooled down to
a “safe to touch” temperature (approximately 150°F).
If a hot surface light is ON use caution when working
around the cooktop as it is still hot.
Fast Boil (Booster) function
Once a heating element has been selected, touch the
[FAST BOIL] key to enable/disable this function, before
or after setting the power level.
A beep sounds and the heater display shows the
selected power level and a “P” alternatively. The
“Peacock Tail” shows the selected power level.
The heater works using some extra power available
only for some minutes then it gets back to the selected
power level.
This option is available for all the cooking zones, both
standard, both special ones (multiple zones).
Key Lock function
The key lock function is activated or deactivated holding
the [LOCK] key for 2 seconds. The lock indication turns
on, the keyboard is locked. Of course, the [LOCK] key
itself is always enabled.
The keys are automatically locked at start-up.
The locking function can be activated regardless of the
heaters condition (working or not). The key lock function
locks all the keys but the [OFF] ones. Also the general
[ON/OFF] key remains active for the off function.
Setting the timer
It works as a minute minder and it doesn’t stop any
heating element.
The timer is available in some models only. It can be set
independently from the heating element, even if there
aren’t any working zones. If the cooktop is not working,
touch first the main [ON/OFF] key to enter stand-by
mode, with all displays showing “0”.

Touch [T-] or [T+] keys to set the timer: the initial value
starts from “00” or “45” respectively on the timer display
(ref.1). Hold the key in order to fasten the increase/
decrease speed. The maximum value is “99”.
The timer led (ref.2) indicates whether the timer is
running.
The dot in the lower right corner of the display (ref.3) is
flashing when the timer has been selected in order to
change its value. After 5 seconds since the last touch
the new value is accepted and the dot disappears.
