[. . . ] Their position is clearly indicated with circles and the heat is limited to within the diameters traced on the glass. The cooking zones are of the HIGH-LIGHT type, they turn on after a few seconds and the heating is adjustable using the controls on the front panel. The cooking zones with two or three concentric circles allow double or triple heating: either within the small circle or on both circles. 5. 1 Layout of the cooking zones 30 cm 60 cm 70 cm 90 cm hobs without a frame 60 cm 70 cm 38 hobs with a frame Instructions for the user Zone Outside diameter (mm) 150 185 185 290 215 oval plate 200 Max power absorbed (W) * 1200 2000 1800 2700 2400 2200 2000 Inside diameter (mm) 124 150 148 170 - Max power absorbed (W) * 800 1950 1100 1400 - Middle diameter (mm) 216 - Max power absorbed (W) * 1050 - *power levels are indicative and can vary according to the settings made and the mains voltage. 5. 2 Power levels The power in the cooking zone can be adjusted to various levels.

A large, half-empty saucepan leads to a waste of energy. 39 Instructions for the user 5. 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 Power level set (U) - 1 2 3 4 5 6-7-8 9-P will show on the display.

To prevent the electronics overheating, a device will trigger to cut power to the front cooking zones and and will flash. If the electronic circuit-board temperature does not reduce, the device will cut power to all the cooking zones and will display (on some models only). Cooking can be resumed once the temperature returns below alarm levels. The rear cooking zones are recommended for prolonged cooking at high power levels. 5. 6 Other functions Pressing three or more controls 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, deactivates all the cooking zones if they are on and the display will show . Remove the object from the buttons. 40 Instructions for the user 6. USING THE HOB 6. 1 General warnings and advice On first connection to the electrical mains, an operating check will be carried out automatically and all the indicator lights will come on for a few seconds. When first connecting to the mains, may be displayed. This does not mean that the hot plates are hot, but that during factory testing the hob was switched off with residual heat active. This signal will clear within 5 minutes. 6. 2 Control panel All the appliance's control and monitoring devices are placed together on the front panel. Function buttons ON/OFF button: this button is used to switch the hob on or off. Control lock button: activates or deactivates the control lock if pressed for 3 seconds. Timer button: activates the timer for the automatic shutdown. Identification symbols Hot plate: front left. [. . . ] Create an opening in the counter top with the dimensions shown in the figure, keeping a minimum distance of A from the rear edge. This appliance can be mounted against walls higher than the work surface on condition that a minimum distance of 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 of C mm between the hob and any shelf that may be installed directly above it. 9. 2. 1 Hobs without a frame L (mm) 300 600 770 900 X (mm) 270 565 745 850 Y (mm) 490 490 490 490 A (mm) 50 min.
