5.2.2 Booster function
The induction hob has a booster function for reaching the required temperature
quickly. This is especially useful for pans containing water. The booster
generates a temporary power output higher than the nominal power of the
cooking zone itself.
The booster is activated by rotating the knob clockwise to position P . The
symbol on the display for the selected zone lights up to indicate that the booster
function is active.
The booster remains active for a maximum of 10 minutes, after which it switches
itself off. The display indicates the maximum cooking power [9] . The symbol
will flash for 3 seconds prior to the booster function switching off.
The booster function will also automatically switch off when the temperature of
the hob exceeds the set point of the built-in power controller.
If the knob is returned to position
P while the booster function is still active, the
maximum power value [9] will appear on the display.
The function can also be switched off by rotating the knob anticlockwise to a
lower power level.
5.2.3 Automatic heating control
The automatic heating control is used to provide maximum power to a cooking
zone for the period of time applicable to the selected power. At the end of this
time period, the automatic control will switch off and the previously selected
power will appear on the display.
To activate this function, rotate the knob anticlockwise to position
A . The
symbol will appear on the display. Select the required cooking power within
the next 10 seconds. After this time, the automatic heating control will switch in
and the symbol will be displayed until the function switches off.
When the automatic heating control switches off, the display will indicate the
previously selected power value.
The automatic heating control can be switched off by rotating the knob to a
higher or lower power, or by activating the booster function.
