Low Temperature Setting,

This function should only be used when heating
from cold.
Each cooking area is equipped with 2 low temperature
settings:
•
L1
will maintain a temperature of about 40 °C – ideal for
gently melting butter or chocolate.
•
L2
will maintain a temperature of about 90 °C – ideal for
simmering (bring the pan to the boil and then select
L2
to keep soups, sauces, stews, etc at an optimal simmer).
The maximum time these settings can be used is 2 hours,
after which the hob will switch off automatically. If required,
you can immediately restart the Low Temperature function by
reactivating
L1
or
L2
. To increase the heat, just turn the control
knob to the required level.
The maximum times for all other power levels are shown in
Table 2.3
.
Power Boost Setting,
P
All of the induction cooking zones have Power Boost
available, activated by turning the control knob clockwise
until [
P
] is shown on the hob control display.
Power Boost allows additional power to be made available for
each of the cooking zones. This is useful to bring a large pan
of water to the boil quickly.
The Power Boost function operates for a maximum of 10
minutes on each zone, after which the power is automatically
reduced to setting 9.
When using the Power Boost function, the cooking zones are
linked.
Fig. 2.8
shows the hob layout. Zones A and B are linked
together as are zones C, D and E.
This means that when using zone A on Power Boost and then
switching zone B to Power Boost , the power to zone A will
reduce slightly. The last zone switched to Power Boost always
takes priority. Zones C, D and E work in the same way.

This is a built-in safety device.
Deactivate the Power Boost function by turning the control
knob to a lower setting.
Overheat Function
This function identifies when the temperature of the pan rises
rapidly and works to maintain a safe level of pan temperature.
It should not interfere with normal cooking.
Cookware with bases that become distorted (
Fig. 2.2
) when
heated may interfere with the operation of the Overheat
Function. This may result in damage to your cookware or
Induction Glass Hob.

Please remember NOT to leave the hob unattended.
Care should be taken to not allow your cookware to
boil dry. Damage to your cookware and Induction
Glass Hob may result.
