USING THE COOKTOP
Before you begin, it is important to know:
All functions of this cooktop are designed to
comply with the most stringent safety
regulations.
For this reason:
- Some functions will not be activated, or will
be automatically deactivated, in the absence
of pots on the burners or when they are
poorly positioned.
- In other cases the activated functions will
be automatically deactivated after a few
seconds, if the specific function requires a
further setting that has not been selected
(e.g.: “Turn the cooktop on” without
“Selecting the cooking zone” and the
“Operating temperature”, or the “Lock
Function” or the “Timer” function).
WARNING
: Please note! In the case
(for example) of prolonged use, the cooking
zone may not immediately shut down be-
cause it is in the cooling phase; the “ ” sym-
bol will appear on the cooking zone display,
to indicate the execution of this phase. Wait
for the display to turn off before approach-
ing the cooking zone.
