7.2.14 Switching off

To switch the hob off, hold down for 1 second; this deactivates all cooking zones even if they are in use or the lock-out function is active, and the hob will turn off completely.

If the cooking zones have just been used, will start flashing a few seconds after the hob is turned off to warn that they are still hot.

To stew meat, fish and vegetables, simmer food, make jams, and so on.

To roast meat, fish, steaks, and liver; to sauté meat, fish, eggs and so on.

To deep-fry potatoes, etc and to quick-boil water.

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 cast-iron pans or pans with a rough bottom.

-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.
