the symbol H will be displayed until the cook zone is
sufficiently cool.

LED indicators on a working zone, press the
corresponding button on the special options strip. In
order to help you understand how the apparatus
works a dull noise will be heard if you try to activate a
special option that is not available on that zone, a low
buzzer will sound, either select another zone with the
special option required, or select another special
option. The fast boil, warming, heat maintenance, 30
second max and maintaining boiling point options
(where included) can be turned on individually on
each zone. The special warming, heat maintenance
and maintaining boiling point options (where
included), are shown on the cooktop displays where
they are active, with a clockwise movement.
The fast boil option is indicated on the display by
three horizontal segments that progressively light up
vertically.
If you want to change a special option, just select the
zone you want and press the button for the desired
special function.

cooking session underway, preventing food from
burning or liquids spilling out of pots as a result of

are reduced to a maintenance temperature that
corresponds with the heat maintenance special
option.
Turning the pause option on and off
The pause option, can be turned on by pressing
. The option is active when the LED on the
button is illuminated. The displays on all the zones
show two vertical flashing strips. If the warming
option is set on one of the zones, as this option
offers a more gentle cooking temperature than the
heat maintenance, the maintenance temperature of
the zone will be that of the warming option.
Press the pause button again to remove the pause
option. The situation prior to activating the pause
button is once again put in place when you turn off
the pause option. Any cooking times set prior to

on. The pause option turns off automatically after 2
hours. NEVER LEAVE THE HOB, WHILST
