To shutdown a cooking zone:

Make sure the required cooking zone has been selected, as indicated by the red dot in the display. Reduce the power to

Rapid shutdown:

To switch oﬀ a selected zone press the ‘+’ and ‘–‘ keys simultaneously: this will immediately switch oﬀ that zone (Fig.2-10).

Note: After a zone has been switched oﬀ an ‘H’ may ﬂash in the display. This is a residual heat indicator that 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.

All of the cooking zones can be immediately switched oﬀ by pressing the On/Oﬀ key. Any ‘hot‘ zones that were in use will show an ‘H’ in the display (Fig.2-11).

This function allows for 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.

To activate the preheat function:

Select the required cooking zone. A red ‘dot’ will illuminate on the selected display to indicate that the zone has been selected.

1.Press the ‘–’ key to bring the element up to full power (Fig.2-12).

2.Press the ‘+’ key to activate the auto function, as indicated by the ‘A’ (Fig.2-13).

3.Use the ‘–‘ key to set the preset power level (Fig.2-14).

When the ‘A’ alternates with the selected power setting the preheat function is in operation.

To adjust the preheat power level:

Select the cooking zone (make sure the dot is illuminated) and then press the ‘+’ key to increase the power level. Pressing the ‘–‘ key after the preheat is underway will interrupt the operation, switching oﬀ the preheat and leaving the cooking zone operating at one power level lower.
