  • Page 20: How The Cooking Zones Work

    How the cooking zones work Single circle cooking zones have one heating element, whilst double circle cooking zones and extended zones have two. Depending on the model, the heating elements may be separated by an insulating ring. Each cooking zone has overheating protection (a temperature limiter), which stops the ceramic surface from becoming too hot (see "Overheating protection").

  • Page 21: Use

    Operation This ceramic cooktop is equipped with electronic sensor switches which react to finger contact. To operate a cooking zone, touch the relevant sensor. Each time you touch a sensor, an audible tone sounds. The cooking zones and the timer have to be "active" when you want to set or adjust a power setting or the duration.

  • Page 22: Switching On

    Switching on The cooktop must be switched on before any of the zones can be used. Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.

    Auto heat-up When Auto heat-up has been activated, the cooking zone switches on automatically at the highest setting and then switches to the continued cooking setting which you have previously selected. The heat-up time depends on which continued cooking setting has been chosen (see chart). As the higher continued cooking settings are generally used for frying food, only a relatively short heat-up time is needed to heat up the pan initially.
