6.7 Cookware recognition

If there is no saucepan on a cooking zone or if the saucepan is too small, no energy will be transmitted
and the symbol
If there is a suitable saucepan on the cooking zone, the recognition system notices it and turns on the
hob to the power level set using the knob. Energy transmission is also interrupted when the saucepan is
removed from the cooking zone (the symbol
function is activated in spite of the saucepan or frying pan on the cooking zone being smaller than the
zone itself, only the necessary energy will be transmitted.
Cookware recognition limits: The minimum diameter of the saucepan base is indicated by a circle
inside the cooking zone. Pans with smaller diameters risk not being detected and therefore not activating
the inductor.

6.8 Residual heat

If the cooking zone is still hot after being switched off, the symbol
symbol clears once the temperature drops below 60°C.
Supervise children carefully as they cannot readily see the residual heat indicator. The cooking zones
remain hot for a certain period of time even after they have been turned off. Make sure that children
never touch the hob.

a time that is proportional to the selected power. This function allows to achieve the selected power in
the shortest amount of time.
Turn the knob to the left to the "A" position and then release; the symbol
Select the required heating power (1..9) within 3 seconds. The selected power and symbol
flash alternately on the display.
The power level can be increased at any moment, the "maximum power" period will automatically be
modified.
Once the acceleration period is over the power level will remain the same as the one previously selected.
If the power is reduced, turning the knob anti-clockwise, the heating accelerator will automatically be
