USING THE INDUCTION HOB
HOB CONTROL KNOB
These knobs provide control of the ceramic hob's cooking zones.
The zone it controls is shown above eachknob. Turn the knob to the right to set the zone's operating power; the settings
range from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 9. (fig.12)
The working power is shown by a display on the hob.
Heating accelerator
Each cooking zone is equipped with a heating accelerator.
This system allows the zone to be operated at peak power for a time proportional to the heating power selected.
To start the heating accelerator, turn the knob to the left, select setting "A" and then release. The letter "A" will appear on
the display on the hob.
You now have 3 seconds to select the heating setting of your choice. Once a setting between 1 and 9 has been selected,
"A" and the chosen setting will flash in alternation on the display. '
While the heating accelerator is in operation, the heating level can be increased at any time. The "full power" time will be
modified accordingly. If the power is reduced by turning the knob anticlockwise, option "A" is automatically deactivated.
Power Function
The power function allows the user to operate each heating zone continuously at the maximum power for a time of no
more than 10 minutes. This function can be used, for example, to bring a large amount of water to the boil in a hurry, or
to turn up the heat under meat.
Turn the knob clockwise and set heating level 9, then use the knob to set the "P" position and release il. "P" appears on
the corresponding zone display.
After 10 minutes, the power is reduced automatically, the knob returns to the 9 setting and the "P" disappears.
However, the power function can be turned ott at any time by reducing the heating level. .
When the power function is selected for one heating zone (e.g. the left front zone), the power absorbed by the second
zone (Ieft rear zone) might be reduced to supply the maximum available energy to the first zone.
Consequently, the power function takes priority over the heating accelerator.
If a pan is removed from the cooking zone while the power function is on, the function is switched off.
Holding Function
The holding function keeps the temperature of the bottoms of pans at about 42°C or 70°C . This allows foods to be kept
hot with optimal energy consumption and to be heated gently. The holding function can be kept in operation for up to 2
hours.
The holding function is
and is indicated by the relevant symbols on the cooking zones.
Bridge Function
This function allows to use the 2 cooking zones at the right at same time with the same features as a single cooking
zone. Booster function isn’t allowed.
1 – rotate both knobs, rear right and front right, at the same time in the P position and keep the knobs in that position.
2 – we see that the ∏ symbol blinks in the display, then after a few seconds the ∏ symbol appears on the rear right
display and the front right display shows the power level.
3 – to control the bridge power level use the knob 4 (front right zone). If you turn the knob 3 (rear right zone) the display
shows a horizontal segment and the bridge function ends.
HOB
ATTENTION:
Metal items such as cutlery or lids must never be placed on the surface of the hob since they may become hot.
Cooking zones (fig.13)
The appliance is equipped with 4 cooking zones having different diameters and powers. Their positions are clearly
marked by rings, while the heating power is only released in the area shown on the ceramic hob. The 4 cooking zones
are of HIGH-LlGHT type and start to heat up a few seconds after they are switched on. The heat level of each zone can
be regulated from the minimum to the maximum setting using the knobs on the front panel.
Underneath each cooking zone there is a coil called an inductor, supplied with power by an electronic system, which
generates a variable magnetic field. When a pan is placed inside this magnetic field, the highfrequency currents
concentrate directly on the bottom of the pan and produce the heat needed to cook the foods.
The 4 lights between the cooking zones come on when the temperature of one or more cooking zones exceeds 60° C..
The lights go out when the temperature drops to below about 60° C.
