Heatingaccelerator
Each cooking zone is equipped with a heating
accelerator.
This system allows the zone to be operated at
peak power for a time proportional to the
heatingpowerselected.
Tostarttheheating accelerator,turntheknobto
the left, select setting "A" and then release. The
letter "A"
will appear on the display on the
cooktoparea.
You now have 3 seconds to select the heating
setting of your choice. Onceasetting between 1
and 9 has been selected, "A" and the chosen
settingwillflashinalternationonthedisplay.'
Whiletheheatingaccelerator
isinoperation,the
heating level can be increased at any time. The
"full power" time will be modified accordingly. If
the power is reduced by turning the knob
anticlockwise, option "A" is automatically
deactivated.
PowerFunction
The power function allows the user to operate
each heating zone continuously at the maximum
power for a time of no more than 10 minutes.

Turn the knob clockwise and set heating level 9,
then use the knob to set the "P" position and
releaseil."P"appearsonthecorrespondingzone
display.
After 10 minutes, the power is reduced
automatically, the knob returns to the 9 setting
andthe"P"
disappears.
However, the power function can be turned ott
atanytimebyreducingtheheatinglevel. .
When the power function is selected for one
heatingzone(e.g.theleftfrontzone),thepower
absorbed by the second zone (Ieft rear zone)
might be reduced to supply the maximum
available
energytothefirstzone.
Consequently, the power function takes priority
overtheheatingaccelerator.
If a pan is removed from the cooking zone while

off.
HoldingFunction
The holding function keeps the temperature of
the bottoms of pans at about
110°F/42°C or
160°F/70°C.Thisallowsfoods tobekepthotwith
optimal energy consumption and to be heated
gently. The holding function can be kept in
operationforupto2hours.
The holding function is and is indicated by

Cookingzones
Theappliance is equipped with 4 cooking zones
having different diameters and powers. Their
positions are clearly marked by rings, while the
heating power is
only released in the area
shown on the ceramic cooktop area. The 4
cookingzonesareofinductiontypeandstartto
heat up a few seconds after they are switched
on.Theheatlevelofeachzonecanberegulated
from the minimum to the maximum setting
usingthe
knobsonthefrontpanel.
Underneath each cooking zone there is a coil
called an inductor, supplied with power by an
electronic system, which generates a variable
magneticfield.Whenapanisplacedinsidethis
magnetic field, the highfrequency currents
concentrate directly on the bottom of the pan
andproduce
theheatneededtocookthefoods.
The4lightsbetweenthecookingzonescomeon
when the temperature of one or more cooking
zones exceeds 140°F/60° C.. The lights go out
when the temperature drops to below about
140°F/60°C
