Control panel lock
This function locks the controls to prevent accidental activation of the hob. To activate the control panel lock, switch the hob on and press the Timer button for three seconds; an
acoustic signal and a luminous indicator near the padlock symbol signal activation. The control panel is locked except for the switching off function. To deactivate the control lock,
repeat the activation procedure. The luminous dot goes off and the hob is active again.
The presence of water, liquid spilled from pots or any objects resting on the button below the symbol can accidentally activate or deactivate the control panel lock.
Timer
The timer can be used to set the cooking time for a maximum of 99 minutes (1 hour and 39 minutes) for all the cooking zones.
Select the cooking zone to be used with the timer, press the timer and a beep signals the function (see figure). The display shows “00” and the LED
indication comes on. The Timer value can be decreased and increased by keeping the slider function “+” and “-” buttons pressed. When the set time
has elapsed, an acoustic signal sounds and the cooking zone switches off automatically. To deactivate the timer, keep the Timer button pressed for
at least 3 seconds.
To set the timer for another zone, repeat the above steps. The timer display always shows the timer for the selected zone or the shortest timer.
To modify or deactivate the timer, press the cooking zone selection button for the timer in question.
Control panel warnings.
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.
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.
Flexi cook
Where present, this function allows the cooking zone to be used as two separate zones or as a single extra large 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 (from 1 to max. 9) press the -/+ buttons or slide your finger horizontally on the slider. 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
