Hob controls
The cooking zones are controlled by
heat regulators.
Only turn the cooking zone control

switched on. After reaching an initial
high temperature the "Auto heat-up" the
automatically switches to the continua-
tion setting choosen, and the heat is lo-
wered accordingly, without the need for
manual intervention.
The length of the "Auto heat-up" time
depends on the setting selected.
Different heat-up times have been pro-
grammed for settings 1 – 7 (for boiling)
and 8 – 12 (for frying).
The "Auto heat-up" period increases in
step with settings 1 – 7; from 8 – 12
however the times are shorter.
If the setting within range 1 – 7 is al-
tered during the "Auto heat-up" period
the period will lengthen accordingly.
If the pan is removed from the cook-
ing zone when
has been activated, the cooking
zone will switch itself off, but the
"Auto heat-up" period will continue
to count down.
