[. . . ] To avoid excessively high temperatures forming in the electronics, the power to the cooking zone is managed automatically. 6. 5 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. · Choose a saucepan suitable for the quantity of food to be cooked. A large, half-empty saucepan leads to a waste of energy. 43 Instructions for the user 6. 6 Power levels The power in the cooking zone can be adjusted to various levels. Suitable for OFF position Dishwarming Cooking small amounts of food (minimum power) Cooking Cooking large quantities of food, roasting larger portions Roasting, slow frying with flour Roasting Roasting / browning, cooking (maximum power) 6. 7 Saucepan recognition If there is no saucepan on a cooking zone or if the saucepan is too small, no energy will be transmitted and the symbol will appear on the display. If there is a suitable saucepan on the cooking zone, the recognition system notices it and turns on the hob to the power level set using the knob. Energy transmission is also interrupted when the saucepan is removed from the cooking zone (the symbol will appear on the display). If the saucepan recognition function is activated in spite of the saucepan or frying pan on the cooking zone being smaller than the zone itself, only the necessary energy will be transmitted. Saucepan recognition limits: The minimum diameter of the saucepan base is indicated by a circle inside the cooking zone. Pans with smaller diameters risk not being detected and therefore not activating the inductor. 6. 8 Residual heat If the cooking zone is still hot after being switched off, the symbol will appear on the display. Supervise children carefully as they cannot readily see the indication of residual heat. The cooking zones remain hot for a certain period of time even after they have been turned off. Make sure that children never touch the hob. 6. 9 Heating accelerator Each cooking zone is equipped with a heating accelerator that allows to supply the maximum power for a time that is proportional to the selected power. Turn the knob to the left to the "A" position and then release; the symbol appears on the display. The power level can be increased at any moment, the "maximum power" period will automatically be modified. If the power is reduced, turning the knob anti-clockwise, the heating accelerator will automatically be disabled. 44 Instructions for the user 6. 10 Booster function The booster function allows to activate the cooking zone at maximum power as long as 10 minutes. It can be used to bring a large quantity of water to a boil rapidly or to broil meat. Turn the knob clockwise to the "P" position for two seconds and then release; the symbol will appear on the display. After 10 minutes the booster function will automatically be disabled and cooking will continue at power level "9". [. . . ] Removing the internal glass panel: · Remove the internal glass panel by pulling the rear part gently upwards, following the movement indicated by the arrows (1). · Doing this detaches the 4 pins attached to the glass from their slots in the oven door. Removing the middle glass panels: · (pyrolitic models) there are two middle glass panels attached using 4 small locks. · (other models) an intermediate glass panel may be present; if so, remove it by lifting it upwards. Cleaning: · It is now possible to clean the external glass panel and the panels removed previously. [. . . ]
