Timer selection
The timer can be used to set a max. cooking time of 99 minutes.
Select the cooking zone to be used with the timer (a dot lights up at the bottom right of the power level indicator), then set the required cooking time using the + and -
keys of the timer function: the time in minutes is shown next to the cooking zone display.
A few seconds after the key is pressed, the timer begins the countdown (the luminous dot of the selected cooking zone starts flashing).
Once the set time has elapsed, an acoustic signal sounds and the cooking zone switches off automatically.
For use if the timer in conjunction with the sixth sense function, see the description of the function in subsequent pages.
Control panel lock
This function locks the hob controls to prevent accidental switching on (e.g. during cleaning).

with the exception of the OFF function. To unlock the controls, repeat the child safety activation procedure. The illuminated dot switches off and the hob is active again.
IMPORTANT: The presence of water, liquid spilled from pots or objects of any nature resting on the key below the symbol can accidentally activate or deactivate the

Flexible Zone
This function can be used to combine two zones and manage them as one single cooking zone. It is ideal for using large oval, rectangular and elongated pots or pans,
(with bottom measuring max. 40x18 cm). After switching the hob on, press the key
: the displays of the two cooking zones show the level “5”; both luminous dots
to the side of the number are lit, indicating a single cooking selected. To change the power level, move your finger along the slide touchscreen: the number inside the
circle will change with just a quick slide of the finger from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 9. To deactivate the flexible zone function, press the key
: the cooking
zones revert to operating singly again. To switch the cooking zone off, press OFF.
