13.USING THE HOB

Metal objects such as silverware or lids must not be placed on the hob surface as they can become very hot.

Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum temperature long enough to burn any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food a bad taste.

13.1 Cooking zones

The device has 5 cooking zones of various powers and diameters. Their position is clearly indicated with circles and the heat is limited to within the diameters traced on the glass. Under each cooking zone there is a coil called an inductor which is powered by an electronic system and which creates a variable magnetic field. When a pan is positioned within this magnetic field, the high frequency currents are concentrated directly onto the pan producing the heat required for cooking the food.

Each cooking zone has an inner circle. This printed circle indicates the minimum permissible diameter on that cooking zone. Pans with smaller diameters risk not being detected and therefore not activating the inductor.

13.2 Heating accelerator

Each cooking zone has a heating accelerator. This system lets the burner operate at maximum power for a time that is proportional to the selected power. To start the heating accelerator, turn the knob to the left, select the “A” position and release. The letter “A” appears on the cooking hob display. At this point you have 3 seconds to choose the desired heating position. Once the position has been adjusted between 1 and 9, “A” and the selected position will blink on the display. During the heating accelerator's operation it is possible to increase the heating intensity at any time. The “full power” period will consequently be modified.

On the other hand, if the power is reduced, turn the knob counterclockwise. The “A” option is automatically disabled.

13.3 Power Function

The power function can be used to cause each heating zone to operate continuously at maximum power for a maximum period of 10 minutes. Said function, for example, can be used to bring a large quantity of water to a boil rapidly or to broil meat.

Turn the knob clockwise and set the heating intensity on 9. Select the position “P” with the knob and release. “P” appears on the hob display of the corresponding zone. After 10 minutes the power decreases automatically. Turn to position 9 and the “P” disappears. It is however possible to interrupt the power function by decreasing at any time the heating intensity. When the power option is selected on a burner (ex. the back left), the power absorbed by the second burner (front left) could be reduced to provide the maximum energy available to the first. For the same reason the power function has priority over the heating accelerator. If a recipient is removed from the cooking zone while the power function is turned on, the function stops.
