If the hob is switched off while the hotplates are still warm, the
H
sign will stay on until the cooking zone has
cooled.
To use the special functions when the cooking zone is in use, press the relative key on the special functions
bar. To help understand how the appliance works, a deep beep sounds when you try to select an operation
that is not allowed. The special fast boiling and gentle heat functions can be enabled separately for each
cooking zone. The special gentle heat function is indicated with clockwise rotation movement on the display
of the cooking zones it has been enabled for.
The fast boiling function is indicated on the display with three horizontal bars that light up one after the other
from the bottom up.
To change the special function simply select the required cooking zone and press the relative key for the new
special function you want to set.
Using the special functions and advanced use of the hob
1. Hold function
With the hold function you can temporarily hold the cooking processes currently underway to prevent food
from burning or liquids overflowing from pots due to unwanted overboiling. When the hold function
is enabled, all cooking areas switched on are brought to the same keep-warm temperature as the special
keep-warm function.
Enabling and removing the hold function
Press the
key to enable the hold function. A dot lights up on the key to indicate it has been switched on.
Two flashing vertical bars appear on the displays of all cooking zones. If the gentle heat function is being used
in one of the cooking zones, the keep-warm temperature will be the same as the gentle heat temperature,
given that the latter is the cooler of the two. To switch off the hold function, press the hold key again.
All levels previous to the hold function being switched on are restored when the hold function is removed.
Any times set using the timer will continue to count down during the entire time the hold function is
enabled. The hold function switches off automatically after 2 hours. DO NOT LEAVE THE HOB
UNATTENDED FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER EVEN WHEN THE HOLD FUNCTION IS ON.
2. Child safety function
The child safety function blocks all use of the hob to prevent children from using it.
Enabling and removing the child safety function
To switch on the child safety function, press the
button. All hob commands are disactivated with the
exception of the child safety key and the on/off key.
Control of the hob is blocked at the settings active prior to the child safety function being enabled. Levels or
special functions set for cooking zones prior to activation of the child safety function are “frozen” and are not
modifiable.
If none of the cooking zones are being used, activating the child safety function will switch off the hob.
When it is switched back on again, the child safety function remains. Press and hold the
key for three
seconds to disable it. In the event the hob switches off during a power failure, the child safety function will
not be enabled when the hob is switched back on again.
