Automatic pre-heating
This feature will set a cooking zone to maximum power and will then
automatically drop the power level of that cooking zone. It will drop to
the power level that you wish to cook at, after a certain period of time.
o Press the zone selection button (2) of the cooking zone that you
want to set for automatic pre-heating.
o A decimal point symbol (6) will appear in the cooking zone
indicator (3) of the zone that you have selected. The decimal
point symbols (6) will disappear from the other cooking zone
indicators (3).
o Press the minus button (4) once so that power level 9 appears
on the cooking zone indicator (3). Then press the plus button
(5) to confirm power level 9.
o Release the plus button (5) and then use the minus button (4)
to adjust the zone to the power level that you want to cook at.
o When the minus button (4) is released, the power level that you
have selected will appear on the cooking zone indicator (3),
alternating with the letter “A”.
o Once the automatic pre-heating time period is over, the hob will
beep once. At this point only the actual power level will show on
the cooking zone indicator (3) and the cooking zone will
continue to cook at this power level. You will need to turn the
cooking zone and hob off manually when you have finished
cooking.
18
Page 19
o The period of time that a zone will automatically pre-heat for
before dropping to the actual power level, is shown in the table
below:-
LEVEL
1 48 seconds
2 2 minutes 24 seconds
3 3 minutes 48 seconds
4 5 minutes 12 seconds
5 6 minutes 48 seconds
6 2 minutes 00 seconds
7 2 minutes 48 seconds
8 3 minutes 36 seconds
9 12 seconds
Increasing the power level during automatic pre-heating
It is possible to increase the power level that the hob will cook at, even
if automatic pre-heating has already commenced.
o Press the zone selection button (2) of a cooking zone that is
already set for automatic pre-heating.
o A decimal point symbol (6) will appear in the cooking zone
indicator (3) of this zone.
o Increase the power level by pressing the plus button (5).
o The pre-heating time will be adjusted, taking into account the
amount of pre-heating time that has already elapsed.
Switching off automatic pre-heating
o If a zone is already within automatic pre-heating mode and you
wish cancel it.
o Press the zone selection button (2) of the cooking zone that you
want to cancel automatic pre-heating on.
o A decimal point symbol (6) will appear in the cooking zone
indicator (3) of the zone that you have selected.
o Press the minus button (4), the automatic pre-heating mode will
then be cancelled and you can use the hob in normal operation
once more.
o IMPORTANT: Please note that switching off automatic pre-heating
will not switch off the zone; you will have to do this manually.
TIME LIMIT

Booster function
The hob has a booster function which will increase the power output of
each zone for a ten minute period.
o Switch on the hob, select and set the power of a
cooking zone as normal.
o Press the booster button (10) and the power output of the
relevant zone will increase to the levels shown below:-
Front left zone - 2500 W
Back left zone - 2500 W
Front right zone - 1800 W
Back left zone - 3200 W
o The booster time is limited to 10 minutes and will switch off
automatically after this time. The zone will return to its original
power level.
o If the saucepan is removed from the zone when the booster is
switched on, then the boosting function will remain active and
the boosting time will continue until the 10 minute booster
period has elapsed.
o The hob has two generators which create the power for the
zones; there is one generator for each side of the hob. If the
booster function is switched on, when a zone is already active on
the same side of the hob. If there is insufficient power for the
booster function, the generator will divert power from the other
zone. You will see the reduced power level of the zone shown in
the relevant cooking zone indicator.

The hob timer (countdown mode)
o Turn on the hob using the ON/OFF button (1) and then press the
timer button (7). The timer display (8) will show “00”. Use the
timer button (7) to adjust the countdown time shown on the
timer display (8).
o Once the timer button (7) is released, the countdown will start
immediately. An acoustic signal will sound at the end of the
countdown time that you have set.
o IMPORTANT: If you have a cooking zone or zones switched on,
they will not switch off at the end of the countdown time.
The hob timer (switching a zone off)
o Turn on the hob using the ON/OFF button (1).
o Press the zone selection button (2) of the cooking zone that you
want the timer to be linked to. Then set the power level that you
want the cooking zone to operate at.
o Press the timer button (7) and the timer display (8) will show
“00”. Use the timer button (7) and minus button (4) to adjust
the countdown time shown on the timer display (8).
o The relevant timer zone neon (9) will start to blink. To confirm
which cooking zone the timer has been linked to, press the
relevant zone selection button (2) again.
o The countdown will start immediately. An acoustic signal will
sound at the end of the countdown time that you have set. The
zone that has been linked to timer will switch off.
21
Page 22
o IMPORTANT: If you have any other cooking zone switched on,
this will not switch off at the end of the countdown time.
Electronic circuit’s temperature sensor
There is a temperature sensor situated inside of the hob top’s cooling
unit that constantly measures the temperature of the electronic circuits
that are contained in the hob.
o In the event of the electronic circuits overheating, this will be
noted by the temperature sensor.
o If the temperature sensor records a temperature that is above
80°C and the booster function is active, it will reduce the power
level from booster to level 9.
o If the temperature sensor records a temperature that is above
89°C, the power level of the cooking zones will be reduced to
60% of the required level.
o If the temperature sensor records a temperature that is above
94°C, the electronic circuit will shut down the appliance.
o IMPORTANT: If the hob temperature sensor consistently
reduces the power of the cooking zones or shuts down the
appliance. This indicates that the hob has not been installed
properly or the opening for air ventilation is not large enough.
Steps should be taken to rectify this immediately.
Cooking zone temperature control
A temperature sensor is situated in the middle of each cooking zone
and is in contact with the glass.
o In the event of a cooking zone overheating, this will be noted by
the temperature sensor.
o If the temperature sensor records a temperature that is above
200°C and the booster function is active, it will reduce the power
level from booster to level 9.
o If the temperature sensor records a temperature that is above
250°C, the power level of the cooking zone will be reduced to
60% of the required level.
o If the temperature sensor records a temperature that is above
270°C, it will turn the zone off.
22
Page 23
o If the temperature sensor records a temperature that is above
300°C, the electronic control will switch off.
o A cooking zone overheating could be caused by an empty
saucepan being placed on an active zone.
o If the bottom of the pan is not fully in contact with the middle of
a cooking zone, then the cooking zone temperature control may
not function correctly.
Hob guidelines
o The first few times the hob top is used, it may give off an acrid,
burning smell. This smell will disappear completely with repeated
use.
o The hob surface is fitted with cooking areas of different diametre
and power.
o The positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly marked
on the hob top. The saucepans must be positioned exactly on
these zones for efficient heating to occur. Pans should have the
same diametre as the cooking zone that they are being used on.
o You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can
scratch the ceramic surface.
o Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are
clean and dry.
o When cold, the bottom of the pans should be slightly concave, as
they expand when hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This
will allow the heat to transfer more easily.
o The best thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2 – 3 mm of
enamelled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich
type bottoms.
o If these rules are not followed, then there will be a great waste
of energy.
o Preferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower
heat.
o Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water as
possible to reduce cooking times.
