[. . . ] If the power symbol starts flashing on the display, it means the pan is not suitable. Use only containers with a perfectly flat bottom. Using a pan with an irregular bottom could jeopardise the efficiency of the heating system so that the pan is not detected on the hot plate. 4. 4 Limiting the cooking duration The hob has an automatic device which limits the duration of use. If the cooking zone settings are not changed, the maximum duration of operation of each zone depends on the power level selected. When the device for limiting the duration of use is activated, the cooking zone turns off, a short alert is sounded and if the zone is hot the symbol will show on the display. However, the automatic switch-off function takes precedence over the limitation device; the cooking zone only turns off after the time set for automatic switch-off is past.

To avoid excessively high temperatures forming in the electronics, the power to the cooking zone is reduced automatically. If during normal use of the hob at normal room temperatures the code E1 appears frequently, it means that cooling is probably insufficient. This may be caused by insufficient cooling slots or the lack of appropriate screening. If necessary, check the installation. 4. 6 Other functions Pressing two or more sensors at the same time or for a long period, e. g. due to accidentally placing a saucepan on them or due to an overflow of liquid, does not activate any of the switch-on functions. An acoustic alert is sounded and the error code E2 appears. The keys deactivate after a few seconds. Remove the object from the keys. 4. 7 Advice on energy-saving Below you will find advice on how to use your hob effectively and economically. · The diameter of the base of the saucepan must correspond to the diameter of the cooking zone. · When buying a saucepan, check whether the diameter indicated is that of the base or the top of the container, as the top is almost always larger than the base. · When preparing dishes with long cooking times, you can save time and energy by using a pressure cooker, which also makes it possible to preserve the vitamins in the food. · Make sure that the pressure cooker contains enough liquid as, if there is not enough and it overheats, this may cause damage to both the pressure cooker and the cooking zone. · If possible, always cover saucepans with a suitable lid. · Choose a saucepan suitable for the quantity of food to be cooked. A large, half-empty saucepan leads to a waste of energy. 4. 8 Power levels The power in the cooking zone can be adjusted to various levels. The table shows the levels suitable for various types of cooking. [. . . ] Installation can be carried out on various materials such as masonry, metal, solid wood or plastic laminated wood as long as they are heat resistant (T 90°C). Create an opening in the counter top with the dimensions shown in the figure, keeping a minimum distance A from the rear edge. This appliance can be mounted against walls higher than the work surface on condition that a minimum distance B be kept between the appliance and the wall as shown in the figure so as to avoid damage from overheating. Make sure there is a minimum distance C between the hob and any shelf that may be installed directly above it. 44 Instructions for the installer 8. 2. 1 Mounting dimensions for hobs with beveled edge L (mm) 300 600 700 900 X (mm) 270 560 560 878 Y (mm) 490 490 490 490 A (mm) 50 min.
