Using your cooktop’s special features
Using the Auto Heat-reduce feature
This feature is available on all the cooking zones
Turn the control dial anti-clockwise to the ‘A’ setting and then release the dial (after the ‘beep’);
the
symbol lights up on the corresponding cooking zone display. Within 5 seconds turn the
dial to the desired power level (between 1 and 9); once a setting has been selected,
and the
chosen power level will flash in alternation on the control panel display.
This feature allows the cooking zone to operate at the maximum power (100%) for a time
proportional to the selected power level; after this time the cooking zone will operate at the
selected level.
While this feature is operating it is possible, at any time, to increase the selected power level but
it is not possible to decrease the power.
The Auto Heat-reduce feature can be disabled by turning the dial anti-clockwise to a lower
power level, turning the dial to the ‘0’ (Off) position or by selecting the PowerBoost feature.
Note: If removing the pan from the cooking zone before the programme has been completed,
the Auto Heat-reduce feature will be completed with the remaining time if the pan is put back
on the cooking zone within 10 minutes.
Using the PowerBoost feature
This feature is available on the front left/rear right zones only.
Turn the control dial clockwise to set the maximum power level (9), then turn clockwise again to
the
setting and release the dial (after the ‘beep’); the control dial returns to the maximum
setting (9) automatically and the
symbol lights up on the corresponding cooking zone
display. The PowerBoost feature is now on.
This feature allows the cooking zone to operate at the PowerBoost maximum power (above
the rated power) for a maximum of 5 minutes; it could be used, for example, to rapidly heat up
a large amount of water. After 5 minutes the P will flash for a few seconds and then the power
level will automatically drop to level 9.
The PowerBoost feature can be disabled by turning the dial anti-clockwise to a lower power
level, turning the dial to the ‘0’ (Off) position or by turning the dial again to the
setting; in
this case the cooking zone operates at the power level 9.
Note: if a cooking zone is still hot, it is not possible to use the PowerBoost feature and
will
flash if you try to activate it. The cooking zone is automatically set to the maximum power level
(9).
The PowerBoost feature is always limited to a maximum of 10 minutes. You can activate the
PowerBoost feature again after 5 minutes.
Important!
The PowerBoost feature is not suitable for use with non water based cooking.
Do not use this function for heating oil (e.g. deep fat frying). The power density may be too high
and it could damage the cookware.
