Operation
Operating time limit
The hob has an automatic time limit function. The duration of
continuous use of each cooking zone depends on the cooking
level selected (see chart), provided that the setting of a
respective cooking zone is not adjusted during use. If the
operation time limit has been activated, the cooking zone will
switch off, a short signal will sound and an H will appear in the
display.
Other functions
If two or more sensor buttons are pressed at the same time (e.g.
when a pan is mistakenly put onto a sensor button) no function
will be activated.
The symbol F will blink and a time-limited continuous signal will
sound. After a few seconds the appliance will switch off. Please
remove the item located in front of the sensor buttons.
How to cut power consumption
The following are a few useful hints to help you cut your
consumption of energy and use your new hob and the cookware
efficiently.
• The base of your cooking pots should be the same size as the
cooking zone.
• When buying cooking pots, note that it is frequently the
diameter of the top of the pot that it indicated. This is usually
larger than the base of a pot.
• Pressure cookers are particularly low on energy and time
required thanks to the pressure and the fact that they are
tightly closed. Short cooking times mean that vitamins are
preserved.
• Always make sure that there is sufficient fluid in your pressure
cooker since the cooking zone and the cooker may be
damaged as a result of overheating if the pressure cooker
boils dry.
• Always close cooking pots with a suitable lid.
• Use the right pot for the quantity of food you are cooking. A
large pot which is hardly filled will use up a lot of energy.
Power settings
The heating power of the cooking zones can be set at various
