Check regularly that there are no objects (tea towel, paper, etc.) which might block the air
inlet located below your hob (see Building in).
•
“Overheat” safety feature
A sensor constantly monitors the temperature of your hob’s components. If their
temperature becomes too high the power supplied by the hob will be reduced.
•
“Empty pan” safety feature
Each heating zone is fitted with a sensor which constantly monitors its tempe-
rature, so no more danger of overheating caused by empty pans.
•
Detection of an object or a pan on a heating zone
A small object such as a fork, a spoon or even a ring left on the hob is not
detected as a saucepan. The display flashes and no heating power is produced.
The safety system acts in the same way when it detects a pan which is not sui-
table for cooking by induction.
IMPORTANT : If an oven is located under your hob (see installation options) the
thermal safety devices on the hob will prevent its simultaneous use when the
oven is in pyrolysis mode.
For the attention of wearers of pacemakers
and active implants:
The functioning of the hob is in conformity with current standards on electro-
magnetic interference.
Your induction hob also fully complies with the legal requirements (EC directives
89/336/EEC). It has been designed not to interfere with the operation of other
electrical appliances as long as these comply with the same legislation.
Your induction hob generates magnetic fields in its immediate area.
So that there is no interference between your hob and a pacemaker, the latter
must be designed in conformity with the relevant regulations.
In this respect, we can only guarantee the conformity of our own product.
Insofar as the conformity of the pacemaker or any incompatibility is concerned,
you should consult its manufacturer or your doctor.
Using the timers
Both rear cooking zones are equipped with a timer (maximum duration
99 minutes). However, they can operate without the timer.
• Select a cook setting (from 1 to 12)
• Press the
touch control for the timer
As soon as you press this touch control, the timer switches on and the cook
time selected (in minutes) appears on the display
. Keep your finger on the
touch control until the required cook time
appears.
NB
The illuminated display shows the cook time remaining.
When the time has run out, the cooking zone turns off, the power indicator goes
out and the timer flashes at “
0 ”. You will then hear some intermittent "beeps".
Press any touch control for the cooking zone to turn them off.
• Changing the cook time
You can alter the cook time at any point during cooking by pressing
the touch control.
• Switching off the timer during cooking
To switch off the timer press the minus (
-
) sign on the touch control until
0 appears.
The heating zone continues to function without the timer.
Using 2 cooking zones simultaneously
These two zones have a total of 2800 W of power available, distributed
automatically between the front and rear zones.
This means that when one zone is being used at maximum, the power of the other
is automatically reduced.
The most recent instruction always takes priority.
