Timer selection

The timer can be used to set a max. cooking time of 99 minutes.

Select the cooking zone to be used with the timer (a dot lights up at the bottom right of the power level indicator), then set the required cooking time using the + and

- keys of the timer function: the time in minutes is shown next to the cooking zone display.

A few seconds after the key is pressed, the timer begins the countdown (the luminous dot of the selected cooking zone starts flashing).

Once the set time has elapsed, an acoustic signal sounds and the cooking zone switches off automatically.

Description of automatic functions

The hob features automatic functions for each cooking zone. The symbols of the available functions are shown next to the selection key of each cooking

zone. Every time an automatic function is selected, an indicator light turns on next to the symbol and the letter "A" appears in the cooking zone display.

Simmering

The simmering function automatically sets the selected cooking zone to a minimum boiling temperature. After positioning the pot, switch on the hob and select the

chosen cooking zone. Press the

touchscreen.

Melting

This function maintains a permanently low temperature in the cooking zone. After positioning the pot/accessory on the chosen cooking zone, switch on the hob and

select the cooking zone. Press the

touchscreen.

Auto-boiling

The Auto-boiling function automatically selects the ideal power level to bring water to the boil and signals boiling point.

After positioning the pot of water, switch on the hob and select the desired cooking zone. Press the

on. During heating, an animation is displayed in the space next to the cooking zone.

To ensure correct operation of the Auto-boiling function, we recommend that you:

use water only (at room temperature);

do not add salt, other ingredients or condiments until the water reaches boiling

point;

do not change the power setting of the cooking zone or remove or move the pot;

do not use pressure cookers;

fill the pot to at least 1/3 full (min. 1 litre) and never to the brim (see table on

the right).

For optimum results, observe the following advice:

do not put the lid on the pot that is being used with the Auto-boiling function;

do not activate the Auto-boiling function if the zone is already hot (letter "H" on

the display).

When the water comes to the boil, the hob emits an acoustic signal. This signal is sounded three times at regular intervals. After the second signal, a minute minder is

automatically activated to keep track of boiling time. After the third signal, the hob automatically selects a lower power setting to keep the water simmering. From this

moment on, you can add any ingredients you like, set the timer and change the power setting. Changing the power setting or selecting the "hold" function overrides

the Auto-boiling function.

The function is deactivated when the "hold" function is selected.

The hob manages the Auto-boiling function and booster levels autonomously, therefore, in some cases, it may not be possible to activate the booster

with the Auto-boiling function already in use

The quality of the cookware may affect the performance of the Auto-boiling function.
