Bridge
With the bridge function two separate cooking zones with the
same diameter
and
equal
power
can be turned on at the same time and controlled with only one operation.
Activation
Whether the two zones are working at a different level, whether they are at level 0:
Simultaneously press anywhere on the slider control of the zones:
1 and 2
3 and 4
Now the two areas work together, the LEDs to the right of the corresponding displays
turn on. The level is shown on the display of the control zone, in the meanwhile the
controlled zone’s display turns off.
When this function is active, you can set the timer, the LED lights on near both displays
of the zones, moreover it’s not possible setting a particularly powerful cooking function.
If in 10 uninterrupted minutes no cookware is detected on one of the two elements, the
bridge function is automatically deactivated.
Deactivation
The end of the Function can be done by repeating the simultaneous selection of both
cooking elements (the same as activation).
If the function is deactivated while in operation, than both cooking elements go to level
and can then be set again.
Warming
The warming function is used to keep cooked food warm. Hence this function can also be
used as melting or simmer function.

is pressed a second time “warming” is activated
;
If
is pressed a third time “simmering” is activated

Protection from
overheating
Induction hotplate is also fitted with safety device against overheating which protects
electronic parts from damages. This device operates on several levels. When temperature
of the hotplate excessively rises, it switches on two-stage fan. If this is not enough, extra
powerful heating is deactivated, and finally the safety device either reduces the heating
power of certain hotplates or turns them off completely. When the hotplate cools off, the
full power of hotplate is again available.
Timer
Use of timer facilitates cooking by setting the time of hotplate operation.
Activation
The cooktop must be turned on and the zone where you want to set the timer must be
working.
