Just above each cooking zone controls there is an illustration that shows the cooking zone that each set control: The function of each touch control and the meaning of each icon is explained below: Power on/off Cooking zone indicator Power level adjustment down and up - Minimum power level: 1 - Maximum power level: 9 Timer function on Time adjustment down and up Child lock 11 Usage Using the touch controls The controls respond to touch, so you don't need to apply pressure to them. Below are tips on how to use the controls: · Use the ball of your finger, not its tip. · You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered. · Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g. a utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate. Indicators Cooking zone indicators Each set of cooking zone controls has its own indicator that is located between the and controls. The indicator will show the power level of the zone, if a zone has any residual heat after operation and if it is being used with the timer. Timer indicator The timer indicator is located between the and controls. It will show the time that has been set for the minute minder and if one cooking zone is to be turned off after a period of time (maximum of 99 minutes). 12 Usage Power levels The settings below are guidelines only, the exact setting you will require will depend on several factors, including your cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment with the hob to find the settings that best suit you.
