Description of the Appliance
Cooking surface layout
The cooking surface is divided into four
cooking zones. In each cooking zone
under the glass ceramic is an induction
heating element, the middle of each one
being marked with a cross on the glass
ceramic surface. Cookware can be
placed on any of the cooking zones. But
the cross must be completeely covered
by the cookware.
The bottom of the cookware must be
from 125-210mm in diameter.
Larger cookware such as a roaster, for
example, can be heated on two cooking
zones. If doing this, cookware must cov-
er at least the middle of the two crosses.

Touch Control sensor fields
The appliance is operated using Touch
Control sensor fields. Functions are
controlled by touching sensor fields and
confirmed by displays and acoustic sig-
nals.
Touch the sensor fields from above,
without covering other sensor fields.
Warning! Risk of burns from heat
emitted. Lengthy cooking on higher
settings with larger cookware on
the front cooking zones can heat
the sensor fields. Take care when
touching sensor fields.

Residual heat indicator
Warning! Risk of burns from residu-
al heat. After being switched off, the
cooking zones need some time to
cool down. Look at the residual heat
indicator .
Residual heat can be used for melt-
ing and keeping food warm.
The induction cooking zones create
the heat required for cooking directly in
the base of the cookware. The glass ce-
ramic is merely heated by the residual
heat of the cookware.
The cooling fan switches itself on and
off depending upon the temperature of
the electronics.

Using the automatic warm-up function
All cooking zones are equipped with an
automatic warm-up function. The auto-
matic warm-up function sets the cook-
ing zone to the highest setting for a
certain period of time and then automat-
ically switches back to the cooking set-
ting that was originally set.
If during the automatic warm up
a higher heat setting is selected,
e.g. from to , the automatic
warm up is adjusted.
The length of time that the automatic
warm up function operates depends on
the heat setting selected.

14 electrolux operating the appliance
Switching the power function on and off
The power function makes more
power available to the induction cooking
zones, e.g. to bring a large quantity of
water to the boil quickly.
The power function is activated for
10 minutes. After that the induction
cooking zone automatically switches
back to heat setting 9.
If the power function has ended, the
cooking zones automatically switch
back to the heat setting set previ-
ously.
Power Management
The cooking zones of the cooking sur-
face have a maximum power available
to them.
Two cooking zones make up a pair (see
figure).
So that the Power function can always
be carried out, Power Management may
reduce the power of the other cooking
zone in the pair
Example: heat setting 9 is selected on a
cooking zone. The Power function is
switched on for the cooking zone paired
up with it. The Power function is per-
formed, but heat setting 9 on one cook-
ing zone and Power function on the
other cooking zone of a pair exceeds
the maximum output for both. Therefore
Power Management reduces the first
cooking zone that was switched on from
9 to 7, for example, and the display for
this cooking zone alternates between 9
and 7 and then remains on the current
maximum of 7. (Whether the display al-
ternates between 9 and 7 or 9 and 6 or
other values, depends on the appliance
type and the size of the cooking zone.)

Using the timer
All cooking zones can each use one of
the two timer functions at the same
time.
If a cooking zone is switched off, the
timer function set is also switched
off.
If a heat setting is set on this cook-
ing zone in addition to a countdown
timer, the cooking zone is switched
off after the time set has elapsed.

Cooking over two cooking zones
Large cookware can be heated with two
cooking zones simultaneously. Either
the two cooking zones on the left-hand
side or on the right-hand side of the
cooking surface are suitable for this.
1. Place cookware centrally on the two
zones.
The cookware must cover at least
the middle of the two crosses.
2. Set the same heat setting for the two
cooking zones (max. setting 8).
With different cookware there can
be differences in the heat distribu-
tion. Good cooking results can be
achieved with cookware with thick,
flat bottoms.
