Residual heat indicator.
The hob is fitted with a residual heat indicator for each cooking zone. These indicators alert the user when cooking zones are still hot.
If the display shows , the cooking zone is still hot. If the residual heat indicator of a given cooking zone is lit, that zone can be used, for example, to keep a
dish warm or to melt butter.
When the cooking zone cools down, the display goes off.
Incorrect or missing pot indicator.
If you are using a pot that is not suitable, not correctly positioned or not of the correct dimensions for your induction hob, the message “no pot” will
appear in the display (see figure at side). If no pot is detected within 60 seconds, the hob switches off.
Special functions
Some models have special functions:
Fast boil function (Booster)
This function, only present on some cooking zones, makes it possible to exploit the hob’s maximum power (for example to bring water to the boil very quickly). To
activate the function, press the “+” button until “P” appears on the display. After 10 minutes’ use of the booster function, the appliance automatically sets the zone to
level 9.
EcoBooster
With the hob turned on, select the cooking zone with the Eco Booster symbol inside it
.
To enable/disable the function, press the button
The EcoBooster function allows the water to be brought to the boil and kept boiling, avoiding spilling, with a reduction of energy consumption.
To optimize this control and ensure the best energy saving, it is advisable to use a pot with bottom width similar to that of the selected cooking zone. The quality of
the pot used, the presence or absence of the lid or salt, can affect the performance of the function. 2 to 3 liters of water (preferably at room temperature) is
recommended, and it is advisable not to use the lid.
In any case it is advisable to keep a check on the boiling conditions and the amount of residual water.
Flexi cook
This function allows you to use the cooking area as two separate cooking zones or as an extra-large single zone.
It is perfect for oval, rectangular and elongated pans (with maximum base dimensions of 38x23 cm) or more than one standard pan in the same time. In order to activate
the flexicook function, switch on the hob, press simultaneously the 2 selecting buttons of the zones as shown in the picture below: the two cooking zone displays show
level "5"; both dots next to the level number are lit, indicating that the Flexi cook is activated.
To change the power level, press the - / + buttons (from 1 to a maximum of 9). To deactivate the Flexi cook function, press simultaneously the 2 selecting buttons of
the zones. To switch off the zones instantly, hold one of the zone selection button for 3 seconds.
The message “no pot”
will appear on the display of the zone that is not able to detect any pot (because of missing pot, or misplaced or not suitable for
induction hob). This message remains active for 60 seconds: in this time you can add or slide pots within the flexicook area as you prefer.
After 60 seconds if no pan is placed on the zone, the system stops “searching” pots on that zone, the symbol
remains visible on the display to remind that the
zone is disabled.
To reactivate the Flexicook function, press one of the 2 buttons
The Flexi cook function is also able to detect when a pot is moved from one zone to the other one within the flexi cook area keeping the same power level of the zone
where the pan originally was placed (see the example in the figure below: if the pot is moved from the front heater to the rear heater, the power level will be shown
on the display corresponding to the zone where the pot is placed).
It is also possible to operate the Flexi cook area as two independent cooking zones, using the corresponding button of the single zone. Place the pot in the center of the
single zone and adjust the power level with the slide touchscreen.
