ASSISTED BOIL
The ideal function to manage the heating of water 6-20 cups
(1.5-5 L) to a boiling temperature. At the end of the heating stage,
the cooktop will make a sound to alert you that it is time to move
to the next cooking stage. Press the “OK” button to confirm that
the food is going to be placed in the pot and the cooktop will
move to the next stage. The system is able to monitor most of the
cooking process, but it is always necessary to stay present while
the cooktop is in use and adjust the power level, if necessary.
It is recommended to use this optional function with the
required accessory. (See Assistance or Service section to order
Accessories).
ASSISTED PAN FRYING
The ideal function for preheating an empty pan or a pan with oil
up to a maximum height of 3/8" (1 cm) to the best temperature
for frying. At the end of the heating stage, the cooktop will
make a sound to alert you that it is time to move to the next
cooking stage. The cooktop will stabalize the temperature and,
if necessary, adjust to keep consistent. Press the “OK” button
to confirm that the food is going to be placed in the pan then
the cooktop will move to the next stage. It is best to use this
function when both the pan and oil are at room temperature.
It is recommended to use this optional function with the
required accessory. (See Assistance or Service section to order
Accessories).
Indicators
POT INCORRECTLY POSITIONED OR MISSING
This symbol appears if the pot is not suitable for induction
cooking, is not positioned correctly or is not of an appropriate size
for the cooking zone selected. If no pot is detected within
30 seconds of making the selection, the cooking zone switches
off.
RESIDUAL HEAT
If “H” appears on the display, this means that the cooking zone
is hot. The indicator lights up even if the zone has not been
activated but has been heated due to the use of the adjacent
zone, or because a hot pot has been placed on it. When the
cooking zone has cooled down, the “H” disappears.

IMPORTANT:
■
The sensors for the assisted cooking functions have been
configured specifically for the recommended pans.
■
It is important to match the size of the pan to the size of the
cooking zone.
■
Using pots/pans of the incorrect size or poorly positioning
pans on the cooking zone may cause limited activation of the
sensors.
■
Pots/pans from other manufacturers may not perform
well. They may heat to a temperature above or below the
programmed temperature setting. If using a pan that is not
the recommended accessory, monitor your cooking process
closely and switch to a manual mode if necessary.
■
Always keep the pot/pan centered on the element.
■
It is recommended to leave the accessory stationary during
the heating phase in order to obtain a more accurate control.
■
Always wait for the acoustic warning before inserting the food
and start from cold only with any seasoning.
■
In case of repeated cooking, it is advisable not to turn off
the automatic function, but to continue cooking, letting the
control maintain the correct temperature.
■
If possible, avoid using the assisted cooking functions when
the letter “H” is present, which means the element is still hot.
Let the element cool down before using this function again.
■
Your unit has a built in feature to shut itself off during over
voltage conditions, water spillage on the touch control, empty
pan, or for extended cooking durations. If this occurs, you
may turn the burner back on and resume cooking without
issue.
