Programming the hob
This section will show you how to program the hotplates. The
table contains power levels and cooking times for several
dishes.
Turning the hob on and off
The hob is turned on and off using the main switch.
To turn on: Press the
# symbol. A beep sounds. The indicator
located next to the main switch and the
‹ indicators of the
hotplates light up. The hob is ready for use.
To turn off: press the
# symbol until the indicators go out. All
hotplates are turned off. The residual heat indicator will remain
lit until the hotplates have cooled down sufficiently.
Notes
■ The hob switches off automatically when all the hotplates are
switched off for more than 20 seconds.
■ The settings are memorised for 4 seconds after the hob has
been turned off. If the hotplate is switched back on within this
time then the previous settings will be applied.
Setting the hotplate
The desired power level is set in the programming panel.
Power level 1 = minimum power.
Power level 9 = maximum power.
Each power level has an intermediate setting. This is marked
with a dot.
Selecting the hotplate and the power level
The hob must be switched on.
1. Select the hotplate with the ¹ symbol.
The
¬ symbol lights up in the display.
2. Within the next 10 seconds, slide a finger over the
programming zone until the desired power level lights up.
The power level has been set.
Changing the power level
Select the hotplate and set the desired power level in the
programming zone.
Switch off the hotplate
Select the hotplate and set it to
‹ in the programming panel.
The hotplate turns off and the residual heat indicator appears.
Notes
■ If no pan has been placed on the hotplate, the selected
power level flashes. After a certain time has elapsed, the
hotplate switches off.
■ If a pan has been placed on the hotplate before switching on
the hob, it will be detected within 20 seconds of pressing the
main switch and the hotplate will be selected automatically.
Once detected, select the power level within the next
20 seconds or the hotplate will switch off.
If more than one pan is placed on the hob, only one will be
detected when switching it on.
