Residual Heat Indicator,
H
After use, a cooking zone will remain hot for a while as heat
dissipates. When a cooking zone is switched off the residual
heat indicator symbol [
H
], will appear in the display. This
shows that the cooking zone temperature is above 60 °C and
may still cause burns. Once the temperature has dropped to
below 60 °C the [
H
] will go out.
Automatic Heat-up,
A
This function is available on all of the cooking zones. It
allows rapid heating up of the element to bring the selected
cooking zone up to temperature. Once the zone is at the
required cooking temperature the power level will reduce
automatically to the preset level.
The function is selected by turning the control knob to the
‘A’ position. This can be selected by turning the control knob
momentarily counter-clockwise from the zero position until
the symbol [
A
] is shown on the hob control display.
Once the [
A
] is displayed, turn the control knob to the level
of your choice (1 to 9). The pan will heat up at 100% power
for a specified time before the power is reduced to the level
selected.
When the Automatic Heat-up function is activated, the hob
control display will flash alternately between the [
A
] setting
and the chosen power level.
Once the automatic heat-up time has ended the hob display
will stop flashing and will show the chosen power level.
The Automatic Heat-up function can be stopped by either
turning the control knob back to the “0” power setting or
turning the control knob to the “9” power setting.
For your guidance
Table 2-2
shows the time available at
100% power depending on the power level selected in the
Automatic Heat-up mode.
Child Lock,
To prevent the unwanted use by children, the hob can be
locked.
IMPORTANT:
This can only be activated when all the
cooking zones are switched off.
To lock the hob, simultaneously turn the two left-hand
controls counter-clockwise
(Fig.2-6)
and hold until the
symbol appears in the centre of the hob control display
(Fig.2-7)
.
Note:
[
A
] will flash when locking the hob – this is normal.
Locking the hob will NOT affect the oven; it can still be used.
To unlock the hob, simultaneously turn the two left-hand
controls counter-clockwise and hold until the
symbol
disappears from the centre of the hob control display.
