  • Page 19: How The Cooking Zones Work

    How the cooking zones work Single circle cooking zones have one heating element, whilst double circle (vario) cooking zones and extended zones have two. Depending on model, the heating elements may be separated by an isolating ring. Each cooking zone has overheating protection (a temperature limiter), which stops the ceramic surface from becoming too hot (see "Overheating protection").
  • Page 20: Operation

    Operation How the hob is operated The hob is equipped with electronic sensor controls which react to finger contact. To operate the hob, touch the relevant sensor. Each time you touch a sensor, an audible tone sounds. In order to set or alter a power level or the time, the cooking zones and the timer must be "active".
  • Page 21: Switching On

    Operation Switching on The hob must be switched on before any of the zones can be used. Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used. To switch the hob on ^ Touch the s sensor. 0 will appear in each of the cooking zone displays. 00 will appear in the timer display.
  • Page 22: Power Level Range

  • Page 23: Auto Heat-Up

    Operation Auto heat-up When Auto heat-up has been activated, the cooking zone switches on automatically at the highest power setting and then switches to the continued cooking setting selected. The heat-up time depends on which continued cooking setting has been chosen (see chart). As the higher continued cooking settings are generally used for frying food, only a relatively short heat-up time is needed to heat up the pan initially.

  • Page 25: Switching The Outer Circle Of A Double Circle / Extended Zone On And Off

    Operation Switching the outer circle of a double circle / extended zone on and off When cooking with larger pans, the outer circle of a double circle/extended zone (see "Guide to the appliance") can be switched on to provide an extended cooking area. When the outer circle of a double circle/extended zone has been switched on, the indicator lamp will light up while the power level is flashing in the cooking zone display.

  • Page 29: Timer

    Timer The hob must be switched on to use the timer. The timer can be used for two different functions: - to set the minute minder - to set a cooking zone to switch off automatically. You can select a time from 1 minute (01) to 9 hours (9.^).
  • Page 30: To Switch A Cooking Zone Off Automatically

    Timer To switch a cooking zone off automatically You can set a time at the end of which a cooking zone will switch off automatically. All the cooking zones can be programmed at the same time. If the time programmed is longer than the maximum operational time allowed, the cooking zone will switch off after the maximum time allowed (see "Safety switch-off").
  • Page 31: To Use Both Timer Functions At The Same Time

    Timer If more than one switch-off time is programmed, the shortest time remaining will show in the display, and the indicator lamp for that particular cooking zone will flash. All the other indicator lamps will light up constantly.

  • Page 35: Overheating Protection

    Safety features Overheating protection Cooking zones Each zone is equipped with overheating protection (internal temperature limiter). This switches off the heating elements in the cooking zone before the ceramic surface overheats. If the heating element switches on and off even when the highest power level is selected, this indicates that the overheating protection mechanism has triggered.
