4.3. Starting the hob
To start the hob, after completing the initial steps from point
4.1.
, touch the main
sensor switch (
item 3, Fig. 6)
with your finger. The switch indicator goes out
(item 1, Fig. 6)
and the hob is ready to accept commands. All four field indicators (
item 5, 6, 7, 8 in
Fig. 6)
show
"0000"
for 6 seconds. If no further action is taken, after that time the hob goes into
standby and indicators turn off, with only the switch sensor remaining lit. The switch can be
used to turn off the hob at any time, even with the lock activated.
4.4. Work programmes and hob functions
The GNC hob can work in different modes, which allow comfortable, precise and safe
cooking. All changes in the way burners work are introduced through the control panel. The
size of the flame and the power output of the burners are controlled automatically.
The hob
will turn off automatically
after 4 hours of operation without any changes of
settings, if there are pots or pans on the burners. In case there are no pots or pans on the
medium or large burners, it will switch off when the safety temperature limit is reached,
which is lower than the self-ignition temperature of edible oil. This is aimed at protecting
the hob's components from overheating and ensuring user safety.
The smallest burner is not equipped with a temperature sensor. The set temperature and
boiling functions are not available in its case.
