The different function of the hob
When the hob is plugged in, all the indicator lights on the

the hob on.

proximately 1 second.
Cooking zone operation
Each cooking zone is activated by means of a power ad-
justment device which is made up of a double key (+,-).

duration of between 1 and 99 minutes. Proceed as fol-
lows:

“-” keys;
• press the programming key until the indicator
light in the position corresponding to the plate that you
intend to programme lights up;
•
set the desired cooking time using the “+” and “-”
keys ;

any other keys.
The cooking time countdown begins immediately.
The end of the programmed cooking time is indicated by
means of an acoustic signal (this lasts for 10 seconds)
and the cooking zone switches off.
Repeat the above-mentioned procedure for each plate that
you intend to programme.
Programmed time display
If one or more plates have been programmed, the display
shows the time remaining for the plate which is closest to
the end of the programmed time, indicating its position by
means of the corresponding indicator light, which will be
on. The indicator lights that correspond to the other pro-
grammed plates will flash.
To show the time remaining for the other programmed
plates, press repeatedly; the times of all the pro-
grammed plates will be shown in sequence, in an anti-
clockwise direction, beginning from the front left one (only
the corresponding indicator light will be on and the dis-
play flashes)
Modification of programmed times

until the time of the plate you intend to modify is shown.
Press the keys “+” and “-” to set the new time.
Confirm by pressing or wait 10 seconds without press-
ing any keys.

graph “Programmed time display”) and press the keys “+”
