positioning
After switching on the hob and positioning the pot on the
chosen cooking zone, adjust the heat setting using the button
+. When switched on, the display shows level 5.
Each cooking zone has different heat settings that can be
adjusted using the buttons +/-, which go from "1": min. heat
setting to "9": max. heat setting. Some cooking zones have a
fast boil function (Booster), shown on the display with the
letter "P".

or "-" key (a dot lights up at the bottom right hand side of the

The cooking zone can also be switched off by pressing keys

The presence of cleaning water, liquid spilled from pots or any
objects resting on the button below the symbol can
accidentally activate or deactivate the child lock function.

The timer can be used to set a max.
cooking time of 99 minutes (1 hour and
39 minutes) for one cooking zone only.
Select the cooking zone to be used with
the timer (an illuminated dot appears to
the bottom right hand side of the heat
setting indicator on the display), then set the desired cooking
time using the buttons "+" and -"-" of the timer function (see
figure above). A few seconds after the button 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.
To deactivate the timer, press the button "-" until the display
shows "0:0" or press the buttons "+" and "-" of the timer at
the same time.

Residual heat indicator.
The hob is fitted with a residual heat indicator for each
cooking zone. These indicators alert the user when

butter.
When the cooking zone cools down, the display switches off.
