Handling and controls

Handling is via control knobs with illuminated ring, with cooking zone and output level markings. Electronic power control in 12 stages (1…12) and a user friendly two colour display (white / orange) support easy operation. An options menu provides access to features such as stopwatch, short-term timer and power management.

Safety and planning notes

• If the panel is more than 23 mm thick, the drawing for installation of the control knob must be observed, with a recess at the rear.
• Bearing capacity and stability, especially with thin worktops, must be ensured using suitable substructures, taking into account appliance weight and additional loads.
• The groove must be continuous and even to allow uniform placing of the appliance on the gasket; discontinuous lining should not be used.
