If the cooking zone settings are not changed, the maximum duration of operation for 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 sounds and, if the zone is hot, the symbol appears on the display. Set power level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Maximum cooking duration in hours 8½ 6½ 5 4 3½ 2½ 2 1½ 1½ Residual heat Improper use Danger of burns • Supervise children carefully as they cannot readily see the residual heat indicator. The cooking zones remain hot for a certain period of time even after they have been turned off. If the cooking zone is still hot after use, the display shows the symbol for that cooking zone. The symbol turns off when the temperature of the cooking zone goes below 40°C. Cooking guidelines The power in the cooking zone can be adjusted to various levels. The following table lists the available power values with an indication of the type of food to prepare. Settings may vary depending on the amount of food and consumer taste.
