(60 °C) and may still cause burns. Once the temperature has 
dropped to below 140 °F (60 °C) the [ H ] will go out.
Automatic Heat-up, A
This function is available on all of the cooking zones. It 
allows rapid heating to bring the selected cooking zone up 
to temperature. The zone will maintain 100 % power (level 
9) for the specied time and then automatically reduce 
power to the preset level. The function is selected by turning 
the control knob to the ‘A’ position. This can be selected by 
turning the control knob momentarily counter-clockwise 
from the zero position until the symbol [ A ] is shown on the 
cooktop control display.
Once the [A ] is displayed, turn the control knob to the level of 
your choice (1 to 9). The pan will heat up at 100% power for a 
specied time before the power is reduced to the level selected.
When the Automatic Heat-up function is activated, the 
cooktop control display will ash alternately between the [A ] 
setting and the chosen power level.
Once the Automatic Heat-up time has ended the cooktop 
display will stop ashing and will show the chosen power level.
The Automatic Heat-up function can be stopped by either 
turning the control knob back to the “0” power setting or 
turning the control knob to the “9” power setting.
For your guidance Table 2.2 shows the time available at 
100% power depending on the power level selected in the 
Automatic Heat-up mode.
