Sensitive touches
Your ceramic hob is equipped with electronic controls with sensitive touch keys. When your finger tou- ches the key, the corresponding command is activated. This activation is validated by a control light, a letter or a number in the display and/or a “beep” sound. Touch only one key on the same time. Display Designation 0 Zero 1...9 Power level Error message Residual heat Π Bridge Dynamic temperature level Dynamic temperature level Dynamic temperature level Function The heating zone is activated Selection of the cooking level Electronic failure The heating zone is hot 2 cooking zones are combined Temperature increase Temperature decrease Temperature is reach Residual heat indication After the switch-off of the hob, the heating zone is still hot and indicates [ H ] on the display. The symbol [ H ] disappears when the heating zone may be touched without danger. As far as the residual heat indicator is on light, don't touch the heating zone and don't put any heat sensitive object on them. There are risks of burn and fire. Ventilation The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts with a low speed when the calories brought out by the electronic system reach a certain level. The ventilation starts his high speed when the hob is intensively used. The cooling fan reduces his speed and stops automatically when the electronic circuit is cooled enough. Starting-up and appliance management Before the first use Clean your hob with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent which risks causing blue-tinted colour on the glass surface. Induction principle An induction coil is located under each heating zone. When it is engaged, it produces a variable electromagnetic field which produces inductive currents in the ferromagnetic bottom plate of the pan. The result is a heating-up of the pan located on the heating zone.
