Operation

Sensors

This hob is equipped with electronic sensors which react to finger contact.

To operate a cooking zone, touch the relevant sensor. Each time you touch a sensor, an audible tone sounds.

Take care only to touch the middle of the sensor required. Keep the control panel clean, and do not place anything on top of it. The sensors may fail to react or they could mistake the article or any dirt for a fingertip contact, thereby activating a function or even causing the hob to switch off automatically

(see Safety switch-off.)

Never place hot pans on the sensor switches. The electronic unit underneath could get damaged.

Switching on

Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.

To switch the hob on:

^ Touch the ON/OFF sensor s.

To switch a cooking zone on:

^ Select a power setting between 1 and

9 by touching the - or + sensor.

To select cooking with Auto heat-up, press the - sensor first (see "Auto heat-up"). To select cooking without
