Description of automatic functions
Auto-boiling Function
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.
The hob automatically switches off if no function is selected within 10 seconds of switching on. If you are using a pot that is not suitable, not correctly
positioned or not of the correct dimensions for your induction hob, the message “no pot“ will appear in the display (see figure on the left). If no pot is
detected within 60 seconds, the hob switches off.
If more than one cooking zone is on, the slide touchscreen allows you to change the power level of the selected zone, indicated by the presence of a
luminous dot at the bottom right of the power level indicator. To select a zone, simply press the relative round key.
The cooking zone switches off and, if the zone is still hot, the letter “H“ appears in the circle.
“H“ is the residual heat indicator. The hob has such an indicator for each cooking zone; it signals which zones are still hot. When the cooking zone cools
down, the display goes off.
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.
