For best results and energy saving, only use pans suitable for electric cooking:
- The bottom of the pan must be very thick and perfectly flat; before placing on the cooking hob, make sure that the pan, as well as the cooking hob itself, is perfectly clean and dry.
- To avoid scratching of the cooking hob, never use
-To avoid waste of energy, make sure that the diameter of the pan bottom is
the same as that of the circle marked on the hob.
7.4 Holding function “A”
Some models of hob feature a new "standby" function indicated by the appearance of the letter "A" on the display (which normally indicates the zone power level).
This function allows a lower temperature to be obtained on the ceramic hob surface in the selected zone, enabling foods that have already been cooked (e.g. soups, meat after slicing, fish, sauces, etc.) to be kept at the required temperature.
7.4.1 Activating the holding function “A”
After switching on the zone with the display showing 0, press the 
key. The display will show the letter “A”, indicating that this holding function has been activated. Pressing the 
key again switches to power level 9, as is the case on hobs with normal zones. Returning to level 0 and pressing the 
key again does not reactivate the “A” function; to activate it, the zone must be switched off and back on.
The holding function must not be activated on a hotplate that is still “hot” since this could activate one of the overheating safety mechanisms with which the electronic hob control is equipped.
