Operation
Operating principals
The hob is equipped with electronic sensor controls which react to finger contact.
To operate the hob, touch the relevant sensor. Each time you touch a sensor, an audible tone sounds.
In order to set or alter a power level or the time (depending on model), the cooking zones and the timer must be "active". To activate a cooking zone or the timer, touch the sensor for selecting the relevant cooking zone or the timer. After you have touched the sensor, the relevant cooking zone or timer display will start to flash. The cooking zone or the timer is "active" whilst the displays are flashing and you can set a power level or time.
Exception:
If only one of the cooking zones is in operation, you can alter the power level without activating the cooking zone.
Take care to keep the control panel clean and do not place anything on top of it. The sensors may fail to react or they could mistake the article or any dirt for a fingertip contact, thereby activating a function or even causing the hob to switch off automatically (see "Safety
