Clock
The hob has a clock which can be used for two functions: as a timer for switching off the hotplate or as a countdown timer.
Countdown timer
This function allows the setting of a time period, at the end of which an acoustic signal sounds.
To activate this function, proceed as follows:
1.
With the touch panel on and the switch-off timer function deactivated for all the hotplates, touch one of the + or - buttons corresponding to the clock.
2.
The display switches on and shows 00.
3.
Touch the + or - buttons again to set the required time. After a few seconds the decimal point of the clock starts blinking to indicate that the countdown has begun.
Be careful not to touch any other button different from + or - as this could stop the switch-off timer of a hotplate instead of programming the countdown timer.
Several beeps sound when the countdown reaches zero. To silence the buzzer, touch either of the clock's + or - buttons.
If, during clock operation as a countdown timer, the induction plates are at power level 0, the touch panel switches off after a few seconds, but th timer will continue working
until completing the countdown or until cancellation of the setting.
To cancel the countdown timer setting, set the remaining time to 00.
Switch-off timer function
This function is very handy since the individual cooking zones can be programmed to switch off automatically when the specified time has elapsed. The appliance offers the
possibility of timing each cooking zone separately.
The function is controlled by means of the increase/de and - buttons associated with the clock.
Timer for single hotplate
To activate the timer for a single hotplate, proceed as follows:
1.
With the hotplate on and the clock off, touch one of the + or - buttons corresponding to the clock.
2.
The display switches on and shows 00. At the same time, a
blinking appears for each of the activated hotplates.
3.
Within the next 5 seconds, touch one of the + or - buttons corresponding to the hotplate for which the timer is to be activated. The
is set on the display of that hotplate
and the digits on the clock display start blinking.
4.
Within the next 2 seconds, select the required time by means of the clock's + or - buttons. After a few seconds the digits stop blinking on the clock display. The decimal
point of the clock and the timed hotplate start blinking to indicate that the countdown has begun.
After setting the required time, make sure not to activate other buttons, as this could cancel the timer function. When the digits of the clock blink, the value can be modified
using only the + or - buttons without touching other buttons.
At the end of the countdown, the timed hotplate switches off and several beeps sound. To silence them, touch either of the + and - buttons associated with the clock.
Setting the timer for more than one hotplate / Modifying the programmed time
During the countdown it is possible to modify the remaining time or set the timer for another hotplate.
1.
With the touch panel activated and a hotplate timed, touch one of the + and - buttons corresponding to the clock.
2.
The countdown stops and 00 appears on the display. A
blinking appears on the display of each activated hotplate.
3.
It is now possible to time another hotplate or modify the remaining time of a previously timed hotplate. To identify them, observe the decimal point appearing at the
bottom right on the display, which appears only if the hotplate is timed. Within the next 5 seconds, touch one of + or - buttons corresponding to the hotplate for which
timer activation or modification is required. The
stops blinking on the display of that hotplate and all the digits on the clock display start blinking.
4.
Touch the + or - buttons again to set the required time. After a few seconds the decimal point starts blinking on the display, to confirm that the countdown has begun.
To cancel an already set time, set the required time in step 4 to 00, or switch off the corresponding hotplate.
When more than one hotplate is timed, by default setting the time display blinks. The time corresponds to the hotplate on whose display the decimal point is blinking.
The decimal point on a powered display indicates that the hotplate is timed. If the decimal point blinks concurrently with a
on the hotplate display, it means the countdown
time remaining for that specific hotplate is shown on the clock display (at that precise moment).
Remember, the countdown is cancelled if the touch panel is deactivated with the on/off sensor button during the countdown.
Control panel lock
This function locks the hob controls to prevent accidental switching on (e.g. during cleaning operations).
Press the button
for three seconds: a beep sounds and an indicator lights up above the padlock button to signal activation. The control panel is locked except for the deactivation
function. To deactivate the control lock, repeat the activation procedure. The luminous dot goes off and the hob is active again. In case of hob deactivation with the control panel lock
activated (luminous dot above the padlock button lit) the hob can be switched on again only after deactivating the control lock function.
IMPORTANT: The presence of water, liquid spilled from pots or any kind of objects resting on the button under the symbol can accidentally activate or deactivate the control panel
lock function.
Melting function
The melting function maintains a low and even temperature in the cooking zone. After placing the pot/accessory on the chosen zone, switch the hob on and select the required
cooking zone, setting power level 1. Press the - button; the indicator will show the symbol
. Just press the - button to deactivate the function.
