4.17 Remaining heat indicator
The appliance also features a remaining heat indicator "H". The glass ceramic surface is not heated
directly, but through return heat radiating from the cookware. As long as "H" is on after the hotplate has
been switched off, the remaining heat may be used for warming up food or for melting.
Even when "H" disappears, the hotplate may still be hot.
Be careful of burns!
4.18 Fast cooking (booster function)
An extra powerful setting may be switched on for fast cooking. This extra power is used for heating large
quantities of food.
After switching on the hob, the extra power can be activated for 10 minutes, then it automatically switches
back to the maximum normal level 9. During the time the extra power is activated on a hotplate, the power
of the other hotplates is limited: this is indicated on the power display by intermittently flashing the
selected cooking level for a few second, before decreasing it to the highest
allowed value.
To activate the booster function touch or slide to the "P" symbol on the slider
of the selected cooking zone. The extra power is active and the display of
the selected cooking zone shows "P".
For a premature deactivation of the extra power select the cookplate and
change the cooking power level.
4.19 Power management
For technical reasons two cooking zones (i.e. front left + rear left, or front right +
rear right) always comprise a module and have a maximum power level to prevent
the mains connection from overloading.
The power management is prioritizing, i.e. the cooking zone which heating power
has been increased at last will get the desired heating power and the other cooking
zone of the same module will be reduced in its heating power. Additionally, the
reduction of power will be signalled by flashing.
4.20 Heat-up automatic
Heat-up automatic is a feature which enables heating up a cold pot with full
heating power and returning automatically to the desired cooking level. The
time during the cooking zone is heated with full power is depending on the
selected cooking level and mentioned in the table below.
Heat-up automatic is suitable for dishes, which are cold initially and are then
heated up at high power.
Activating the heat-up automatic:
1. Switch on the hob.
2. Touch and hold the desired cooking level (1-8) of the cooking zone and hold the selection for 3
seconds.
3. The heat-up automatic will operate as programmed. The corresponding cooking zone displays "A". After
a certain time (see table) the cooking process will continue with the simmering setting.
Notes:
• Increasing the power level while heat up automatic is active is possible.
• Decreasing the power level while heat up automatic is active will deactivate the heat up automatic.
