Residual heat indicator
As long as the temperature of the burner remains high enough to cause injury, the display corresponding to the burner

Multi-circuit cooking zones
Some Cooking zones can be equipped with double or a third circuit:
for instance, the burner is composed of a central disk, an inner and an
outer ring. You can turn on the central disk alone, two elements, or all
the elements. This enables you to adapt the heated area to the size of
the saucepan you are using.

Locking the cooktop functions
The whole appliance can be locked using the safety lock key (B), in order to prevent any unintentional use. The function
also serves as a child safety device. A pilot light (B
1
) indicates that the safety lock function has been enabled.
As long as the safety lock function is enabled, any action on the keys has no effect.
Timer
The control device can also have an incorporated timer, which can be assigned to one
of the cooking areas.
Touching
the “+” and “-“ keys (L/I) simultaneously will activate this function, and the time
will appear on the display (M). The time can be adjusted using timer keys “+” (L) or “–“ (I).
The time can also be adjusted once countdown has begun.
If no area has been selected the timer will function as a simple egg timer. An acoustic
signal will sound once countdown is complete.
If, on the other hand, an area has been selected, the timer will be assigned to that area.
Once countdown is complete, an acoustic signal will sound and the area will switch off
Automatically.
