Keep warm function
Each zone is equipped with a keep warm function that is designed to
keep food at a stable temperature. This allows the serving of food to
be delayed. The "Keep warm" function is available between "0" and "1"
heat settings and is shown on a cooking zone indicator as " ".
To activate the keep warm function
•
Switch the hob on if necessary. Then simply touch the desired
zone's selector (9) and set the power level using the "+" or "-"
selectors to " " (use the "+" selector to set the power level to 1 and
then use the "-" selector once).
•
The keep warm function’s duration is limited to keep food as safe as
possible. This duration is detailed on page 11.
To deactivate the keep warm function
•
Touch the desired zone's selector (9) and either set the power level
using the "+" or "-" selectors to "0" or, alternatively, touch and hold
the cooking zone selector for 3 seconds. The cooking zone
indicator will display a "0" to confirm that the zone is now inactive
but will display an " " or " " if the zone is still hot to the touch.
Safety key lock
To prevent accidental use, the hob has a safety key lock which
switches controls off temporarily or completely. The safety key lock
can be deactivated when the hob is turned on or off but not when
power has been switched off at, or the appliance disconnected from,
the mains.
