POWER MANAGEMENT
Thanks to the “Power management” function, the user can set the
maximum power the hob can reach, as required.
This setting is possible at any time and is maintained until the next change.
By setting the required maximum power, the hob automatically adjusts
distribution in the various cooking zones, ensuring that this limit is
never exceeded; with the advantage of also being able to manage all
the zones simultaneously, but without overload problems.
4 maximum power levels are available and showed on display: 2.5 kW –
4.0 kW – 6.0 kW – 7.2 kW (7.2 kW is considered as max power of the hob).
At the time of purchase, the hob is set to maximum power.
To set the hob power:
After plugging the appliance into the electrical socket, in the first 60
seconds it is possible to set the required power level by running the
following points:
•
Press for approximately 3 seconds both Power management buttons “−”
(step 1). The display shows

Press the Power Management button
(step 2) to confirm the previous
step. The display shows
.
•
Press the Timer “+” / “−” buttons to select the required power. The
display shows the power levels available.
•
Press the Power Management button
(step 4) to confirm the
previous step. The display shows the set level which flashes for
approximately 2 seconds; after which the hob emits an acoustic
signal and then turns itself off; it is now ready for use.
In case of an error when setting the power, the symbol
appears in
the middle and an acoustic signal sounds for about 5 seconds. In this
case repeat the configuration procedure from the beginning. If the error
occurs again, contact the After-Sales Service.
During normal use, if the user tries to increase the maximum available
power level when reached, the level of the zone in use flashes twice and
an acoustic signal sounds.
To obtain a higher power in that zone, it is necessary to manually
decrease the power level of one or more already active cooking zones.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
ECO·BOOSTER
With the hob turned on, select the cooking zone with the Eco·Booster
symbol inside it ( ).
To enable/disable the function, press the button
.
The Eco·Booster function allows the water to be brought to the boil and
kept boiling, avoiding spilling, with a reduction of energy consumption.
To optimize this control and ensure the best energy saving, it is advisable
to use a pot with bottom width similar to that of the selected cooking zone.
The quality of the pot used, the presence or absence of the lid or salt, can
affect the performance of the function. 2 to 3 litres of water (preferably at
room temperature) is recommended, and it is advisable not to use the lid.
In any case it is advisable to keep a check on the boiling conditions and
the amount of residual water.
