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.
Simmering Function
After bringing the food to the boil, select the simmering function: a power level designed to maintain a gentle simmer is automatically set.To deactivate the function
simply press OFF on the slide touchscreen.
Melting function
The melting function maintains a low and even 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.
Multizone
This function can be used to combine two zones and manage them as one single cooking zone. It is perfect for oval, rectangular and elongated pans (with maximum
base dimensions of 40x18 cm). After switching on the hob, press the key : level “5“ is shown on the displays of the two cooking zones; both luminous dots
next to the level number are lit, indicating selection of a single zone. To change the power level, move your finger along the slide touchscreen: the number inside the
circle increases/decreases as your finger slides up/down the touchscreen, ranging from a min. setting of 1 to a max. of 9. To deactivate the Multizone function, press
the key : the zones revert to functioning singly. To switch the cooking zone off, press OFF.
The booster power level and Auto-boiling function cannot be used on the same zones when the Multizone function is in use. If the timer is set, it will be displayed
alongside the hotplate display at the top.
IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive sponges or scouring pads. Their use could eventually ruin the glass.
•
After each use, clean the hob (when it is cool) to remove any deposits and stains due to food residuals.
• Sugar or foods with a high sugar content damage the hob and must be immediately removed.
• Salt, sugar and sand could scratch the glass surface.
• Use a soft cloth, absorbent kitchen paper or a specific hob cleaner (follow the Manufacturer’s instructions).
• Read and follow the instructions given in the section “Instructions for use“.
• Connect the hob to the electricity supply and check that the supply has not been shut off.
• Dry the hob thoroughly after cleaning it.
• If the hob cannot be switched off after using it, disconnect it from the power supply.
• If, when the hob is switched on, alphanumeric codes appear on the display, consult the following table for instructions.
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.
CLEANING
WARNING
- Do not use steam cleaners.
- Before cleaning, make sure the cooking zones are switched off and that the residual heat indicator (“H“) is
not displayed.
