Practical advice on using the appliance
To obtain the best results from your hob:
• Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully
utilise the cooking zone.
• Always use pans with a diameter which is large
enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all
the available heat.
Control panel lock
When the hob is switched on, it is possible to lock the
oven controls in order to avoid accidental changes
being made to the settings (by children, during
cleaning, etc.). Press the button to lock the control
panel:
To use any of the controls (e.g. to stop cooking), you
must switch off this function. Press the button for a
few moments, the indicator light will switch off and the
lock function will be removed.
the "L" will appear on the cooking zone displays.
• Make sure that the base of the cookware is always
clean and dry, in order to fully utilise and extend the
life of both the cooking zones and the cookware.
• Avoid using the same cookware which has been
used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas
burners may distort the base of the pan, causing it
not to adhere correctly.
Safety devices
Pan sensor
Each cooking zone is equipped with a pan sensor
device. The hotplate only emits heat when a pan with
suitable measurements for the cooking zone is placed
on it. If the indicator light is flashing, it may indicate:
• An incompatible pan
• A pan whose diameter is too small
• The pan has been removed from the hotplate.
Residual heat indicators
Each cooking zone is equipped with a residual heat
indicator. This indicator signals which cooking zones
are still at a high temperature. If the power display
shows , the cooking zone is still hot. It is possible,
for example, to keep a dish warm or melt butter or
chocolate. As the cooking zone cools, the power
display will show . The display switches off when the
cooking zone has cooled sufficiently.
Overheating protection
If the electronic elements overheat, the hob switches
off automatically and
F
appears on the display,
followed by a flashing number. When the temperature
has reached a suitable level, this message disappears
and the hob may be used again.
