Heat-up function
(Automatic start of cooking)
This function will help you when cooking,
since it is not necessary to be there at the
same time. The touch control panel pre-pro-
grammes the chosen hotplate to the maxi-
mum power level and then lowers it to the
desired power level, chosen by you, after a
certain amount of time. (See table 1).
ACTIVATING THE HEAT-UP FUNCTION
1
Choose power level
9
and then touch
sensor button
(5). The decimal point
of the power indicator will blink for 10
seconds.
2
Before 10 seconds have passed, choose
the power level (between
1
and
8
). After
10 seconds, you will hear a sound and
the decimal point ( 8) will stay on,
which indicates that the automatic boost
fuction is activated . If the chosen level is
0 or 9, the heat up function will not be
activated.
Next, use sensor button
to lower the
power level to
6
. The system will keep the
heating element at power level
9
(maxi-
mum) for 150 seconds; after that time, the
system will automatically lower the power
level to
6
.
MODIFYING THE POWER LEVEL
DURING THE HEAT-UP
With the heat-up function activated, press
sensor button
(5) and the system will
change the power level to the new value
chosen; however, if the new power level
chosen is 9, the function will be deactiva-
ted.
When increasing the power level using
sensor button
(5) the system takes into
account the time passed up until that point.
