Cooking using the automatic warm up function

All of the cooking surface’s four cooking zones can be adjusted to any of nine settings, and are equipped with an automatic warm up function:

–¿, lowest heat setting

–Ç, highest heat setting

–a, automatic warm up function.

When you select the desired heat setting using the heat setting selector sensor panel, the cooking zone will operate at maximum power for a certain period of time and will then automatically switch back to the follow-on heat setting that has been set.

The length of time that the automatic warm up function operates depends on the follow-on heat setting selected.

1.Touch the heat setting selector sensor panel to set the desired heat setting from ¿ to Æ. The heat setting that has been set will then be displayed. Af- ter a period of 5 seconds, the a (=automatic warm up function) will appear in the display in place of the heat setting. After the warm up period has fin- ished, the heat setting will once more be displayed.

3If you should choose a higher heat setting while the automatic function is in operation, e.g. from Á to Ã, the period of time that the warm up function is in operation will be adjusted accordingly. If you select a lower setting, the warm up period will end immediately.

You can cook using the automatic warm up function only if the cooking zone is cold or moderately warm. If a cooking zone is already hot when you switch it on (h indicator), the automatic warm up function cannot be used.
