Description of automatic functions
Simmering
The simmering function automatically sets the selected cooking zone to a minimum boiling temperature. After positioning the pot, switch on the hob and select the
chosen cooking zone. Press the
key: “A” appears on the display and the indicator light turns on. To deactivate the function, simply press OFF on the slide
touchscreen.
Melting
This function maintains a permanently low temperature in the cooking zone. After positioning the pot/accessory on the chosen cooking zone, switch on the hob and
select the cooking zone. Press the
key: “A” appears on the display and the indicator light turns on. To deactivate the function, simply press OFF on the slide
touchscreen.
Auto-boiling
The Auto-boiling function automatically selects the ideal power level to bring water to the boil and signals boiling point.
After positioning the pot of water, switch on the hob and select the desired cooking zone. Press the
key: “A” appears on the display and the indicator light turns
on. During heating, an animation is displayed in the space next to the cooking zone.
When the water comes to the boil, the hob emits an acoustic signal. This signal is sounded three times at regular intervals. After the second signal, a minute minder is
automatically activated to keep track of boiling time. After the third signal, the hob automatically selects a lower power setting to keep the water simmering. From this
moment on, you can add any ingredients you like, set the timer and change the power setting. Changing the power setting or selecting the “hold” function overrides
the Auto-boiling function.
The hob features automatic functions for each cooking zone. The symbols of the available functions are shown next to the selection key of each cooking
zone. Every time an automatic function is selected, an indicator light turns on next to the symbol and the letter “A” appears in the cooking zone display.
To ensure correct operation of the Auto-boiling function, we recommend that you:
-
use water only (at room temperature);
-
do not add salt, other ingredients or condiments until the water reaches boiling
point;
-
do not change the power setting of the cooking zone or remove or move the pot;
-
do not use pressure cookers;
-
fill the pot to at least 1/3 full (min. 1 litre) and never to the brim (see table on
the right).
For optimum results, observe the following advice:
-
do not put the lid on the pot that is being used with the Auto-boiling function;
-
do not activate the Auto-boiling function if the zone is already hot (letter “H” on
the display).

-
The hob manages the Auto-boiling function and booster levels autonomously, therefore, in some cases, it may not be possible to activate the booster
with the Auto-boiling function already in use
-
The quality of the cookware may affect the performance of the Auto-boiling function.
