Operation Manual

When the automatic cooking mode is activated the hotplate
will operate at maximum power for a limited period of time and
then automatically switch to the reduced power level to resume
cooking (see chart). It may be switched on in any of the hotplates
for all power settings except for maximum setting 9.
Automatic cooking mode is activated when the hob is switched
on (display indicates “0” setting). By touching the hotplate (B)
sensor switch the selected hotplate on. The display indicates
power setting »9« and the decimal dot (•). Within the next ten
seconds press the “-” (C) sensor and select the power setting
(8...1) for cooking.
The decimal dot is on for the entire time this function is on. By
touching the (-) or (+) (B and C) sensor you may vary the heating
power at any desired moment. If no power setting for further
cooking is selected within the next 10 seconds the automatic
cooking mode is switched off and the decimal dot disappears.
Once the time from the above chart expires, the function is
switched off and the decimal dot disappears. You can also switch
the automatic cooking mode anytime by pressing the sensor “-”
(C) and bringing power setting to “0”.
