Sensor switches

This hob is equipped with electronic
sensor switches which react to finger
contact.
To operate a cooking zone, touch the
relevant sensor switch. Each time you
touch a sensor switch an audible tone
sounds.
Make sure that you only touch the
sensor you require except when
switching off a cooking zone or the
timer, and that you touch the centre
of the sensor.
Take care to keep the control area
clean. Do not place anything on the
control area. The sensors may fail to
react or they could mistake the
article or any dirt for a fingertip
contact, thereby activating a
function or even causing the hob to
switch off automatically (see Safety
switch-off.)
Never place hot pans on the
sensors. The electronic unit
underneath could get damaged.

can select a power setting (with or
without Auto heat-up).
