Switching the hotplate on
Once the hotplate is selected and its indicator
flashes ''0'', you have 10 seconds to select the
desired power setting by pressing either sensor
(+) or (-). Indicator will flash the selected setting,
and after 10 second lapse this setting becomes
default.
If no power setting is selected within 10 seconds,
the indicator ''0'' goes off and the hotplate is
switched off.
Automatic cooking mode
When the automatic cooking mode is activated
the hotplate will operate at maximum power for a
limited period of time (depending upon the power
level required for continuation) and then
automatically switch to the reduced power level to
resume cooking (see chart). It may be switched
on in any of the hotplates for all power
settings except for maximum setting 9.
Select the desired hotplate by touching the
hotplate selection sensor. Indicator ''0'' flashes.
Activate the automatic cooking mode by touching
the (+) sensor. In case setting "9" is not changed
within the next ten seconds the automatic cooking
mode is off. It remains active if you press the (-)
sensor and reduce the power setting to any value
between 8 and 1. This means that the maximum
setting "9" must first be reduced by pressing the
(-) sensor, and then it may be increased by
touching the (+) sensor. The indicator displays
letter ''A'' which remains illuminated for the entire
time the automatic cooking mode is on.
Automatic cooking mode will not function on
power setting "9".
If you wish to check the power setting level of
active hotplates during automatic cooking mode,
touch either (+) or (-) sensor. The indicators of all
active hotplates functioning in automatic cooking
mode will display the current power setting.

Once the time from the above chart expires, the
function is switched off and the indication "A" is
replaced by the originally selected power setting.
Automatic cooking mode may be deactivated at
any time by pressing the (-) sensor or by setting
the cooking power to ''0''.
Blocking the hob operation
This function mode is intended as a protection
against accidental start or change of heating
power by children or pets. The hob may be
blocked by pressing the relevant sensor for about
2 seconds, illuminating the LED signal lamp
above the sensor. The hob may be blocked both
with the hob switched on or off. The functioning of
the complete hob is blocked, except for the main
hob switch and the blocking sensor. In the
blocked mode all hotplates may be switched off
only by pressing the main ON/OFF hob sensor,
while the blocked mode remains active. In case
you try to activate any particular sensor in the
blocked mode, the blocked operation signal lamp
goes on for a few seconds, warning you that this
option is not possible. Blocked operation may be
deactivated at any time by pressing the relevant
sensor, and the signal LED above the sensor will
go off.
