The hob features a boost facility which enables pans to be brought up to temperature

appears.
The dot indicates that the boost function is activated.
2.
Touch pad to reduce energy level to desired cooking
energy level. It can be noted that the dot continues to be
illuminated.
If an energy level less than 6 is selected, the boost function assumes a saucepan of liquid
is to be simmered, so stays on full power for up to 7 minutes (dependant on setting) to bring
the fluid to the boil quickly. If an energy level above and including 6 is selected, the boost
function operates for less time, as if only a frying pan was being heated. As a guide, when
energy level 7 or 8 is selected the boost function will run for around 3 minutes.
If no lower energy level is selected, the hob will resume normal operation, indicated by the
dot switching off.
The table below should serve as an indication for suitable cooking energy levels.

Installing your hob
Before cutting the work top, make sure that there is enough space
underneath to accept the hob, and that there are no supports or projections
which might interfere with fitting the hob.
Cut the aperture in the work top to the dimensions shown in the relevant
diagram below, taking care that it refers to your hob. The cut edges of the
aperture should be sealed with paint or varnish to prevent any ingress of
moisture.
Note; A small radius is permissible in each corner.
