USING THE SPECIAL FUNCTIONS AND

ADVANCED USE OF THE HOB

1. Hold function

With the hold function you can temporarily hold

the cooking processes currently underway to

prevent food from burning or liquids overflowing

from pots due to unwanted overboiling. When the

hold function is enabled, all cooking areas switched

on are brought to the same keep-warm

temperature as the special keep-warm function.

Enabling and removing the hold function

Press the key to enable the hold function. A dot

lights up on the key to indicate it has been

switched on. Two flashing vertical bars appear on

the displays of all cooking zones. If the gentle heat

function is being used in one of the cooking zones,

the keep-warm temperature will be the same as

the gentle heat temperature, given that the latter is

the cooler of the two. To switch off the hold

function, press the hold key again. All levels

previous to the hold function being switched on

are restored when the hold function is removed.

Any times set using the timer will continue to

count down during the entire time the hold

function is enabled. The hold function switches off

automatically after 2 hours. DO NOT LEAVE THE

HOB UNATTENDED FOR ANY REASON

prior to activation of the child safety function are

"frozen" and are not modifiable.

If none of the cooking zones are being used,

activating the child safety function will switch off

the hob. When it is switched back on again, the

child safety function remains. Press and hold the

key for three seconds to disable it. In the event

the hob switches off during a power failure, the

child safety function will not be enabled when the

hob is switched back on again.

3. Multiple zone function

5. Time switch function

The time switch function can be used as a short-

time alarm with no association to any specific

cooking area, or it can be allocated to a selected

zone and the relative operation programmed.

Enabling and removing the time-switch

cooking zone should switch off at, a power level or

the fast boiling / gentle heat functions must be set

for the relative cooking zone.

When you press the time-switch key, the time bar

display starts to flash. By pressing the or

keys to select a cooking zone, one of the dots at

the four corners of the timer display lights up to

indicate the zone selected. Use the and

keys on the timer bar to set the required time. The

display will stop flashing after a few seconds

meaning the selected cooking zone has been

correctly programmed.

Another cooking zone can now be programmed.

The timer can be set separately for each of the

cooking zones.

The relative dots light up at the corners of the

timer bar display to indicate which cooking zones

the timer has been set for.

The shortest time set is usually shown. When you

select a cooking zone, the timer bar display shows

the time set for that zone. To disable the timer for

a cooking zone, press the and keys at the

same time.

BEFORE USING THE GLASS CERAMIC HOB

• To make the most of your new appliance,

please read the user instructions carefully and

keep them to hand for future consultation.

INSTALLATION

Hob

• The hob must be set into a worktop between 20 mm

and 50 mm deep

• There must be nothing between the hob and the oven

(cross rails, brackets, etc.).

• The distance between the lower face of the glass

ceramic hob and the cupboard or separating panel

must be at least 20 mm.

• If the hob is to be installed next to a column unit, leave

a distance of at least 100 mm from the edge of the hob.

• Make an opening in the worktop of the dimensions shown in

the Product Description Sheet supplied separately.

• Apply the supplied gasket to the hob (unless it has already

been fitted), after having cleaned its surface.

Important

In order to prevent the electronic circuits from overheating, and

therefore from being damaged, we recommend the following:

• Do not install the hob near a dishwasher or washing

machine, so that the electronic circuits do not come

into contact with steam or moisture, which could

damage them.

If an oven (from our range of ovens) is installed beneath the hob,

make sure that it is equipped with a cooling system.

If the temperature of the electronic circuits exceeds the

maximum permitted temperature, the hob will switch off

automatically; in this case, wait for a few minutes until the

internal temperature of the electronic circuits reaches a tolerable

level, at which point it will be possible to switch the hob on again.

• Switch the hob off after use.
