Switching on the device

1. Press the key (1) to activate the control: the adjustment level indicators (3) and the timer display (7) are set to “0” while the decimal points (12) flash.

2. Perform the next operation within 10 seconds, otherwise the device will switch off automatically.

Adjusting power and the timer by means of the “+” and “-” keys

Use the “+” and “-” keys (4) to adjust the setting of the plates and the required time on timer/minute counter (7). The “+” and “-” controls (4) are common to both functions. Accordingly, to regulate the power of the hob, first select the zone with key (2), then adjust the relative power level using the “+” and “-” keys (4); this done, select the timer function with key (6) and proceed to set the duration, likewise using the “+” or “-” key (4).

Important: To avoid permanently damaging the glass ceramic top, do not use:

pots with bottoms that are not perfectly flat,

metal pots with enamelled bottom.

To get full satisfaction from the hob, please read these instructions carefully and keep them for future consultation.

Switching ON the cooking area

Once the device has been activated, switch on the cooking area (within 10 seconds) as follows:

1. Press one of the keys (2) to select the cooking area required. The relative display (3) will indicate a “0” and the decimal point (12) will illuminate to show that the cooking area has been activated.

2. Use the “+” and “-” keys (4) to adjust the heat level (from 1 to 9). Press and hold down these keys to increase or decrease the setting.

Switching OFF the cooking area

1. The relevant cooking area must already be activated with relative decimal point (12) illuminated.

2. Return the setting to “0” by means of the key “-” (4). After three seconds, the cooking area will automatically switch off.

Rapid shutdown of the cooking area

1. The relevant cooking area must already be activated with relative decimal point (12) illuminated.

2. To shut down the selected cooking area immediately, press the “+” and “-” keys (4) at the same time.

Residual heat indicator (“H”)

If the temperature of the cooking area is still high (and a burn risk still present) after it has been switched off, the display (3) for the area will indicate the letter “H” (residual heat). The letter will only switch off when the burn risk is no longer present (at 60°C).

Switching off the hob

The hob can be switched off at any time by means of the ON / OFF switch (1)

Switching on a TWIN circuit zone:

1. The twin circuit zone must already be activated with relative decimal point (12) illuminated.

2. Select the required setting (1 - 9).

3. Press the twin circuit key (5) to switch it on. The LED (9) for the selected zone will light up; the second circuit will be activated together with the first.

Switching off the second circuit

1. The twin circuit zone must already be activated with relative decimal point (12) illuminated.

2. Press the twin circuit key (5). The LED (9) for the selected zone will go out to indicate deactivation of the second circuit.

Shutting down the unit or the cooking area (key)

To shut down the unit to prevent operation (e.g. by children), use the lock key (8). While the lock is engaged, all operation of the keys is disabled, with the exception of the OFF key (1).

Safety shutdown

In the event that one or more cooking areas is inadvertently left on, the safety system will shut the zones down automatically after a certain time has elapsed, after which the letter “H” will be displayed.

Automatic preheating

This function is designed to facilitate cooking, given that the cooking cycle may be carried out without the need for human supervision. The function uses maximum power to preheat the cooking area to bring it to the required operating temperature. After a time interval, the power level automatically returns to the original setting.

Using the automatic preheating function

Select the required cooking area by means of the key (2). Select power level 9 by means of key “+” (4), then press the “+” key (4) again to activate preheating. The letter “A” will be shown on the relative display. To preheat the unit with spontaneous movement towards the required power level (e.g. “6”), set the power to 6 by means of the “-” key (4). After the system has set to automatic preheating mode, the display panel will alternate the set power level (“6”) and the automatic preheating function (indicated by the letter “A”).

Switching off the automatic preheating function

To deactivate the preheating function (indicated by the letter “A” on the display), press the “-” key (4) at least 10 seconds since the function has been activated.

TIMER function

This function too simplifies operation by not requiring human supervision during the cooking cycle. Once the set time on the timer has elapsed, the cooking area is automatically switched off. If no zone has been programmed, the timer simply operates as a minute counter (see the section “Using the timer as a minute counter”).

Using the TIMER function

1. The cooking area must already be activated with relative decimal point (12) illuminated.

2. Select a power level between 1 and 9.

3. Press the timer key (6); the timer display shows “00” and the indicator (10) relative to the zone being programmed lights up.

4. Select the cooking time (between 0 to 99 minutes) by means of the “+” and “-” keys (4). The timer will start up automatically in a few seconds. Press and hold down the “+” or “-” key (4) to scroll the time setting. Note that the timer function applies to the selected cooking area only.

Rapid shutdown of the cooking area and relative timer

Press the “+” and “-” keys (4) at the same time to shut down the relative cooking area immediately. Note that the timer function will also be deactivated.

Using the timer as a minute counter

When the timer function is not programmed, the timer display can be used simply to count down minutes (i.e. when the displayed time elapses, the cooking area is not deactivated).

Setting the minute counter

When the unit is OFF:

1. Press the ON ke (1).

2. Press the timer key (6).

3. Use the “+” and “-” keys (4) to set the required time to be counted back. When the unit is ON and a cooking area is activated:

1. Deselect the zone by pressing the relative key (2); the decimal point (13) will go out.

2. Press the timer key (6).

3. Set the time required by means of the “+” and “-” keys (4).

Deactivating the minute counter function

When the set time has elapsed, an acoustic signal is emitted for two minutes. To silence the signal, press any key. To interrupt the timer, proceed as follows:

1. Press the timer key (6).

2. Press the “-” key to reset the time (4).

Rapid deactivation of the minute counter

Press “+” and “-” keys (4) at the same time.
