The purpose of the booster function is to give more power to a determined area in order
to reduce the necessary cooking time. This function is activated by turning the knob
clockwise from position 0 (off) to the final position (* fig. A). After short acoustic signal,
the symbol [P] appears on the display, meaning that the booster function is activated.
The Booster function has a maximum duration of 1 minute. The area concerned then
returns to level [9].The Booster function ends before this time when:
• a lower power level is set;
• the pan is removed;
• there is overheating of the appliance or of the heating area.
The Booster function has precedence over the “Heat-up” function. This means that, if
the heat-up function has been activated in an area at the time of activating the Booster
function, the heat-up function will be interrupted.
Each cooking area is designed to operate with specific pans for induction cooking, ha-
ving a diameter just smaller than the diameter of the chosen cooking area. If the pan is
not suitable, the display for the area shows the symbol indicating absence of the pan (U)
and the appliance does not start up. This prevents the appliance from being switched on
until a container is placed on the cooking area, or until a container suitable for induction
is used. If the container is removed during the operation, the area is switched off. The
duration of pan recognition is 10 minutes; if no suitable container is used on the cooking
area during this time, the area is switched off. The indication on the display changes
from the “pan absent” symbol to [-].
If the cooking area is still very hot, even though it is switched off, the symbol H appears
on the display.
The Heat-up function, or quick heating, is available on each cooking area. This means
that for a well-defined time the cooking area works at maximum power and at the end of
this time the power is automatically brought to the set level. In this case the duration de-
pends on the selected power level. The Heat-up function is activated by turning the knob
counterclockwise from position 0 to the final position (* fig. A) for 2 seconds. After short
acoustic signal, a letter [A] is shown on the display for the correspondent area. After it
has been activated you must set a power level to continue cooking within 10 seconds; if
this is not done, the Heat-up function is interrupted.
The Key-lock function is useful if there are children at home. However, it is always advi-
sable for an adult to be pre- sent when the appliance is in operation. When the Key-lock
function is activated all the cooking areas are switched off and they cannot be switched
on accidentally
