Before you begin, it is important to know:
All functions of this cooktop are designed to comply with the most stringent safety
regulations.
For this reason:
• Some functions will not be activated, or will be automatically deactivated,
in the absence of pots on the burners or when they are poorly positioned.
• In other cases the activated functions will be automatically deactivated after a
few seconds, if the specific function requires a further setting that has not been
selected (e.g.:
“Turn the cooktop on” without “Selecting the cooking zone”
and the “Operating temperature”, or the “Lock Function” or the “Timer”
function).
Caution! In the case (for example) of prolonged use, the cooking zone may
not immediately switch off because it is in the cooling phase; the
“ ” symbol will
appear on the cooking zone display to indicate that this phase is in progress.
Wait for the display to turn off before approaching the cooking zone.
