only be activated in another heating ele-
ment on the right.
Once this function has been activated in a
heating element, the heating element on
the same side will only be able to work
with the power that is left over, up to a total
of 3,600/3,700 watts. If the power level is
too high, the touch control will automati-
cally reduce it; this will be shown by the
flashing of the indicator of the correspon-
ding power (3).
The Power function can be switched off in
the following ways:
* By pressing the Power sensor or
(6) again after selecting the cooking
area.
* By touching the (4) key while the coo-
king area is selected.
The function may also disconnect automa-
tically if the temperature in the cooking
area gets too hot. In all of these cases, the
hotplate is kept running at power level 9. If
the pan is taken off the cooking area while
Power concentration is in operation, the
function's remaining time will be stopped.
If a pan is put back onto the cooking area
before the pan detection time (10 minutes)
has elapsed, the remaining time will start
to count down again.
The Power function can also be enabled
without a pan on the cooking area, but the
hotplate will not come on until the pan is
put on the cooking area.
The Power function takes priority over heat-
up, so if the "Power" function is being used,
heat-up will be cancelled in the induction
cooking areas on the corresponding side.
Disconnection for safety
purposes
MAXIMUM OPERATING TIME
If, due to absent-mindedness, one or more
hotplates are left on, these will be switched
off automatically after a set amount of time
from the last action. (See table 3).
After this "safety disconnection", the
corresponding hotplate's power display
will show the H if there is a risk of burning.
Otherwise it will show the 0.
SAFETY AGAINST COVERING SENSORS
The touch control has a feature that auto-
matically disconnects the appliance when
it detects that something (a pan, cloth or
spilled liquid) is covering the panel's sen-
sors. This prevents the item from enabling
or disabling a hotplate without you being
aware of it.
When the touch control disconnects the
appliance for safety reasons, it will beep
until you remove the item that is covering
the control panel.
If the touch controls are on standby, items
placed over the hotplates will not be detec-
ted; however, in order to enable the con-
trol, any item covering it must be removed.
Overheating safety feature
The induction areas are protected against
overheating that may cause damage to the
electronic system.
The induction generator has three mecha-
nisms which become active if the tempera-
ture rises too high in order to protect the
electronic components.
