The timer can be used to set a max. cooking time of 90 minutes.
Select the cooking zone to be used with the timer (a dot lights up at the bottom right of the power level indicator), then set the required cooking time using the + and
- keys of the timer function: the time in minutes is shown next to the cooking zone display.
A few seconds after the key is pressed, the timer begins the countdown (the luminous dot of the selected cooking zone starts flashing).
Once the set time has elapsed, an acoustic signal sounds and the cooking zone switches off automatically.
For use if the timer in conjunction with the Auto-boiling function, see the description of the function in subsequent pages.
Control panel lock
This function locks the hob controls to prevent accidental switching on (e.g. during cleaning).
Press the key for three seconds : an acoustic signal sounds and an indicator light turns on above the lock symbol to confirm activation. The control panel is locked
with the exception of the OFF function. To unlock the controls, repeat the child safety activation procedure. The illuminated dot switches off and the hob is active again.
IMPORTANT: The presence of water, liquid spilled from pots or objects of any nature resting on the key below the symbol can accidentally activate or deactivate the
Control panel lock function.
Hold
This function allows you to temporarily hold and then resume cooking processes, maintaining previous settings (except for the Auto-boiling function and any set
timers).
Press the key : blinks on the display in place of the power levels. To resume cooking, press the key again.
Multizone
This function allows you to use the cooking area as two separate cooking zones or as an extra-large single zone.
It is perfect for oval, rectangular and elongated pans (with maximum base dimensions of 38x18 cm) or more than one standard pan. In order to activate the Multizone
function, switch on the hob and press the button : the two cooking zone displays show level “5”; both dots next to the level number are lit, indicating that the
Multizone is activated.
To change the power level, move your finger along the slide touchscreen: the number inside the square will change with just a quick slide of the finger from a minimum
of 1 to a maximum of 9. To deactivate the Multizone function, press the key : the cooking zones revert to operating singly again. To switch the cooking zone off,
press OFF
The message “no pot” will appear on the display of the zone that is not able to detect any pot (because of missing pot, or misplaced or not suitable for
induction hob). This message remains active for 60 seconds: in this time you can add or slide pots within the Multizone as you prefer.
After 60 seconds if no pan is placed on the zone, the system stops “searching” pots on that zone, the symbol remains visible on the display to remind that the
zone is disabled.
To reactivate the Multizone function on both heaters, press the button .
The Multizone function is also able to detect when a pot is moved from one zone to the other one within the Multizone keeping the same power level of the zone where
the pan originally was placed (see the example in the figure below: if the pot is moved from the front heater to the rear heater, the power level will be shown on the
display corresponding to the zone where the pot is placed).
It is also possible to operate the Multizone as two independent cooking zones, using the corresponding button of the single zone. Place the pot in the center of the
single zone and adjust the power level with the slide touchscreen.
Important: make sure to place the pans centered on the cooking zone.
In case of big pot, oval, rectangular and elongated pans make sure to place the pans centered covering both logos on the cooking zones.
