The function deactivates the hob automatically if:

• all cooking zones are deactivated,

• you do not set the heat setting after you activate the hob,

• you spill something or put something on the control panel for more than 10 seconds (a pan, a cloth, etc.). An acoustic signal sounds and the hob deactivates. Remove the object or clean the control panel.

• the hob gets too hot (e.g. when a saucepan boils dry). Let the cooking zone cool down before you use the hob again.

• you use incorrect cookware. The symbol F comes on and the cooking zone deactivates automatically after 2 minutes.

• you do not deactivate a cooking zone or change the heat setting. After some time – comes on and the hob deactivates.

The relation between the heat setting and the time after which the hob deactivates is as follows:

Heat setting	The hob deactivates after
–, 1 – 3	6 hours
4 – 7	5 hours
8 – 9	4 hours
10 – 14	1.5 hour

Touch the control bar at the correct heat setting or move your finger along the control bar until you reach the correct heat setting.

The indicators appear when a cooking zone is hot. They show the level of the residual heat for the cooking zones you are currently using:

• ≡ – continue cooking,

• = – keep warm,

• – – residual heat.

The indicator may also appear:

• for the neighboring cooking zones even if you are not using them,

• when hot cookware is placed on a cold cooking zone,

• when the hob is deactivated but the cooking zone is still hot.

The indicator disappears when the cooking zone has cooled down.

Place the cookware in the centre of the selected zone. Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the cookware automatically.

You can cook with large cookware placed on two cooking zones at the same time. The cookware must cover the centres of both zones but not go beyond the area marking. If the cookware is located between the two centres, the Bridge function will not be activated.

This function connects two left-side cooking zones and they operate as one. First, set the heat setting for one of the left-side cooking zones.

To activate the function: touch ◗. To set or change the heat setting, touch one of the control sensors.

This function gets a desired heat setting in a shorter time. When the function is on, the cooking zone operates at the highest heat setting in the beginning and then continues to operate at the desired heat setting. To activate the function, the cooking zone must be cold.

To activate the function for a cooking zone: touch P (A comes on). Immediately touch a desired heat setting. After 3 seconds, A comes on.

To deactivate the function: change the heat setting.

This function makes more power available to the induction cooking zones. The function can be activated for the induction cooking zone only for a limited period of time. After this time, the induction cooking zone automatically sets back to the highest heat setting.

To activate the function for a cooking zone: touch P. P comes on.

To deactivate the function: change the heat setting.

If multiple zones are active and the consumed power exceeds the limitation of the power supply, this function divides the available power between all cooking zones connected to the same phase. The hob controls heat settings to protect the fuses of the house installation.

• Cooking zones are grouped according to the location and number of phases in the hob. Each phase has a maximum electricity loading of 3700 W. If the hob reaches the limit of maximum available power within one phase, the power of the cooking zones will be automatically reduced.

• The heat setting of the cooking zone selected last is always prioritized. The remaining power will be divided between the previously activated cooking zones in reverse order of selection.

• The heat setting display of the reduced zones changes between the initially selected heat setting and the reduced heat setting.

• Wait until the display stops flashing or reduce the heat setting of the cooking zone selected last. The cooking zones will continue operating with the reduced heat setting. Change the heat settings of the cooking zones manually, if necessary.

This advanced automatic function connects the hob to a special hood. Both the hob and the hood have an infrared signal communicator. The speed of the fan is defined automatically based on the mode setting and the temperature of the hottest cookware on the hob. You can also operate the fan from the hob manually.

Operating the function automatically:

To operate the function automatically, set the automatic mode to H1 – H6. The hob is originally set to H5. The hood reacts whenever you operate the hob. The hob recognizes the temperature of the cookware automatically and adjusts the speed of the fan.

Automatic modes table:

	Automatic light	Boiling	Frying
H0	Off	Off	Off
H1	On	Off	Off
H2	On	Fan speed 1	Fan speed 1
H3	On	Off	Fan speed 1
H4	On	Fan speed 1	Fan speed 1
H5	On	Fan speed 1	Fan speed 2
H6	On	Fan speed 2	Fan speed 3

Changing the automatic mode:

1. Deactivate the hob.

2. Press ⊙ for 3 seconds. The display comes on and goes off.

3. Press 🔒 for 3 seconds.

4. Press ⊙ a few times until H comes on.

5. Press + of the timer to select an automatic mode.

Operating the fan speed manually:

You can also operate the function manually. To do that, press ♨ when the hob is active. This deactivates the automatic operation of the function and allows you to change the fan speed manually. When you press ♨, you raise the fan speed by one. When you reach an intensive level and press ♨ again, you will set the fan speed to 0, which deactivates the hood fan. To start the fan again with fan speed 1, press ♨.

Activating the light:

You can set the hob to activate the light automatically whenever you activate the hob. To do so, set the automatic mode to H1 – H6.
