Programming the hob
This section will show you how to program the hotplates. The
table contains power levels and cooking times for several
dishes.
Switching the hob on and off
Use the main switch to switch the hob on and off.
To switch on: Touch the
% symbol. The indicator above the
main switch lights up. The hob is now ready for use.
To switch off: Touch the
% symbol until the indicator above the
main switch goes out. All of the hotplates are now switched off.
The residual heat indicator remains on until the hotplates have
cooled down sufficiently.
Notes
■ The hob switches off automatically if all hotplates have been
switched off for longer than 20 seconds.
■ If the control elements are not set to 0 when you touch the %
symbol, the
‹ indicator flashes in the area of the hotplate
display. The hob remains switched off.
Set the hotplate
Use the controls to set the desired power level.
0 = hotplate switched off.
Power level 1 = minimum power.
Power level 9 = maximum power.
Selecting the power level
Turn the control to the right until reaching the desired powered
level.
The selected power level lights up on the indicator.
Switch off the hotplate
Turn the control to the left until reaching level 0. The hotplate
turns off and the residual heat indicator appears.
Note: If no pan has been placed on the induction hotplate, the
selected power level flashes. After a certain time, the hotplate
switches off.
