Automatic Heat-up,
A
This function is available on all of the cooking zones. It
allows rapid heating up of the element to bring the selected
cooking zone up to temperature. Once the zone is at the
required cooking temperature the power level will reduce
automatically to the preset level.
The function is selected by turning the control knob to the
‘A’ position. Turn the control knob momentarily counter-
clockwise from the zero position until the symbol [
A
] is shown
on the hob control display.
Once the [
A
] is displayed, turn the control knob to the level
of your choice (1 to 9). The pan will heat up at 100% power
for a specified time before the power is reduced to the level
selected.
When the Automatic Heat-up function is activated, the hob
control display will flash alternately between the [
A
] setting
and the chosen power level.
Once the Automatic Heat-up time has ended the hob display
will stop flashing and will show the chosen power level.
The Automatic Heat-up function can be stopped by either
turning the control knob back to the “0” power setting or
turning the control knob to the “9” power setting.
For your guidance
Table 2.2
shows the time available at
100% power depending on the power level selected in the
Automatic Heat-up mode.
Child Lock,
IMPORTANT:
The child lock can only be activated when all
the cooking zones are switched off.
To prevent the unwanted use by children, the hob can be
locked.
To lock the hob, simultaneously turn the two left-hand
controls counter-clockwise
(Fig. 2.6)
and hold until the
symbol appears in the centre of the hob control display
(Fig.
2.7)
.
Note:
[
A
] will flash when locking the hob – this is normal.
Locking the hob will NOT affect the oven; it can still be used.
To unlock the hob, simultaneously turn the two left-hand
controls counter-clockwise and hold until the
symbol
disappears from the centre of the hob control display.
Low Temperature Setting,
L1
/
L2
Each cooking area is equipped with 2 low temperature
settings:
• L1
will maintain a temperature of about 40 °C – ideal for
gently melting butter or chocolate.
• L2
will maintain a temperature of about 90 °C – ideal for
simmering (bring the pan to the boil and then select
L2
to keep soups, sauces, stews, etc at an optimal simmer).
The maximum time this setting can be used is 2 hours. To
increase the heat, just turn the control knob to the required
level. The maximum times for all other power levels are
shown in
Table 2.3
