Using The Hob - Husqvarna QHFB860P User Manual

USING THE HOB

Before you begin, it is important to know:
All functions of this cooktop are designed to comply with the most
stringent safety regulations.
For this reason:
• Some functions will not be activated, or will be automatically
deactivated, in the absence of pots on the burners or when
they are poorly positioned.
• In other cases the activated functions will be automatically
deactivated after a few seconds, if the specific function requires a
further setting that has not been selected (e.g.: "Turn the cooktop
on" without "Selecting the cooking zone" and the "Operating
temperature", or the "Lock Function" or the "Timer" function).
Caution! In the case (for example) of prolonged use, the
cooking zone may not immediately shut down because it is in the
cooling phase; the " " symbol will appear on the cooking zone
display, to indicate the execution of this phase.
Wait for the display to turn off before approaching the cooking
zone.
