Boost Function
The hob features a boost facility which enables pans to be brought up to temperature quickly with maximum power, before dropping to a lower energy setting automatically. It is activated as follows,
To Activate | 1. | Switch on hob, as described previously. | |
Boost Function |
| Touch pad | repeatedly until 9. appears. |
The dot indicates that the boost function is activated.
2.Touch pad 
to reduce energy level to desired cooking energy level. It can be noted that the dot continues to be illuminated.
If an energy level less than 6 is selected, the boost function assumes a saucepan of liquid is to be simmered, so stays on full power for up to 7 minutes (dependant on setting) to bring the fluid to the boil quickly. If an energy level above and including 6 is selected, the boost function operates for less time, as if only a frying pan was being heated. As a guide, when energy level 7 or 8 is selected the boost function will run for around 3 minutes.
If no lower energy level is selected, the hob will resume normal operation, indicated by the dot switching off.
The table below should serve as an indication for suitable cooking energy levels.

Installing your hob
Before cutting the work top, make sure that there is enough space underneath to accept the hob, and that there are no supports or projections which might interfere with fitting the hob.
Cut the aperture in the work top to the dimensions shown in the relevant diagram below, taking care that it refers to your hob. The cut edges of the aperture should be sealed with paint or varnish to prevent any ingress of moisture.
Note; A small radius is permissible in each corner.
