Sound signal (buzzer)
During use, the following activities are signaled by a buzzer:
· Normal button pressing by a short sound.
· Buttons kept pressed down for more than 10 s by a continuous
sound.
Timer Function
The timer function permits up to a maximum of 4 independent timers.
That is, one timer for each individual cooking zone and one stand-
alone timer (independent to the cooking zones).
Stand-alone timer
-If the touch control is on and none of the cooking zones are on (all
the displays show a “0”), the stand-alone timer can be activated by
pressing button (8). If, on the other hand, the setting level is other
than “0” in any of the cooking zones, the stand-alone timer may be
activated by pressing button (8) twice. The timer display (9) shows
“00” and the decimal point on the display is lit. Now it is possible to
select the required time between 0 and 99 minutes. If no value is
selected, the timer is deactivated after 10 seconds.
-To select the required time, use any of the 3 sliding controls (2).
During this operation, all the sliding controls are off for the selection
of the cooking zone setting level. 10 seconds after the time has been
selected, the timer automatically deselects.
-After the programmed time, an intermittent sound signal is activated
and the display (9) shows an flashing “00”. Both the “00” and the
sound signal stop when any of the buttons is pressed or after 2
minutes.
-If it is active, when the Touch Control is switched off using the
ON/OFF button (1), the stand-alone timer continues the countdown.
Timer for the cooking zones
-If at least one cooking zone is on, the timer can be activated by
pressing button (8).
- “00” flashes on the timer display (9) and the timer symbol (5) for
each zone that is in use lights up. You now have 10 seconds to
select the time for the required cooking zone using the
corresponding sliding control (2). During this operation, the other
sliding controls remain activated for the selection of the cooking
zone setting level.
-To change the timer allocated to a cooking zone for a timer
allocated to another zone, just press button (8).
-At the end of the programmed time, an intermittent sound signal is
activated and “00” flashes on the display (9), the corresponding
cooking zone switches off and its display shows “0” (alternating with
“H” if there is any residual heat). Both the “00” and the sound signal
stop when any of the buttons is pressed or after 2 minutes.
Using the timer
-The required time setting can be selected using the sliding control
(2). If you hold your finger above any part of the sliding control for at
least 0.5 seconds, a default time of 10 minutes is established. By
sliding your finger to the left or right, the time can be reduced or
increased respectively.
-The total timer limits are 00 minutes to the left and 99 minutes to
the right.
-The time setting can be modified up to a maximum of 10 minutes,
just by sliding your finger across the control. For higher settings, lift
up your finger and then slide it along the control again (2).
-The timer setting can also be selected by holding your finger above
the sliding control (2). To reduce the time, press on any part of the
left side of the sliding area; to increase the setting, press on the right
half.
-To deactivate the timer, select the setting, “00”. To do so, just press
the far left of the sliding area for 0.5 seconds.
Precautions
- Keep all magnetisable objects out of reach (credit cards, floppy
disks and calculators, etc.) when the hob is in use.
- Never use any aluminium foil or place any foodstuffs wrapped in
aluminium foil directly on the hob.
- Do not place any metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons or
lids on the hob surface as they will heat up.
- When using non-stick pans, before adding seasoning, limit the
preheating time to one or two minutes.
- When cooking food that may easily stick, start at a low setting and
then slowly increase while stirring regularly.
- After use, switch off using the corresponding function (turn down to
“0”) and do not rely on the pan sensor.
- If the hob surface breaks, switch off the appliance at the mains
immediately to prevent the risk of an electric shock.
- Do not use steam cleaners to clean the hob.
- This appliance is not designed for use by individuals (including
children) with reduced physical, sensorial or mental capacities, or
who do not have adequate experience or knowledge, unless under
supervision or after instruction on the use of the appliance from a
person responsible for their safety.
- Children should be supervised so that they do not play with the
appliance.
Pans (Fig. 3)
- A magnet-attracting pan may be suitable for induction cooking.
- Preferably use pans indicated as being suitable for induction
cooking.
- Flat and thick-bottomed pans.
- A pan with the same diameter as the cooking zone ensures the
maximum power is used.
- A smaller pan reduces the power but will not lead to energy loss. In
any case, we do not recommend the use of pans with a diameter of
less than 10 cm.
- Stainless steel pans with multi-layer or ferritic stainless-steel bases
if the base indicates: for induction cooking.
- If cast iron pans are used, these should preferably have an enamel
bottom to avoid scratching the ceramic hob surface.
- The following types of pans are not suitable: glass, ceramic,
earthenware, aluminium, copper or non-magnetic (austenitic)
stainless steel.
Maintenance (Fig. 4)
Pieces of aluminium foil or food, fat splashes, spilt sugar or highly
sugared foodstuffs should be removed immediately from the cooking
surface using a spatula to avoid scratching the hob surface.
Subsequently clean the surface with a suitable product and kitchen
roll, rinse with water and dry with a clean cloth. Never use abrasive
sponges or scourers and avoid the use of aggressive chemical
detergents or stain removers.
