They turn red approximately ten seconds after they have been turned on. Each cooking zone is fitted with a control knob allowing you to select from 9 different temperature settings from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 9. • Use flat-bottomed pans to ensure that they adhere to the cooking zone perfectly. Extendable cooking zones • The lowest power level can be set by turning the knob clockwise from 1 to 9. A • Turn the knob to completely (A) until you hear a slight click, to enable the maximum power level, which in turn can be adjusted between 9 and 1 by turning the knob anticlockwise. To restore the minimum power level, turn the knob and set it back to position 0. For double cooking zones, the first part of the knob movement activates the smaller cooking zone (internal).

The indicator lights (C) indicate that the temperature of the corresponding cooking zones have exceeded 60°C, even after the heating element has been switched off. 21 The electronic cooking programmer GB This feature allows you to program the oven or the grill as follows: • delayed cooking time for a specified period; • immediate start for a specified period; • timer.
