Timers will stop during the pause and resume after it. The countdown for the audible alarm does not stop during the pause and it may go off before the screen is reactivated.

CONNECTIVITY OF THE EXTRACTION HOOD:
This hob can be connected to an extraction hood as long as it is compatible and is indicated in the instruction manual. In order to establish the connection, the connectivity of the hob must be activated in the hob’s settings menu. Once the hob is emitting a signal, activate the hood’s connectivity in the hood’s settings menu. A message will appear that must be validated after ensuring that the hood has been connected successfully. Next, the hood control icon (3) will appear on the bottom right-hand part of the hob’s screen.
Once the connection has been established, the hood can be controlled through the hob in Manual mode or in AUTO mode.

Manual Mode:
This enables you to adjust the power levels of the fan and the light. It also enables you to pause the fan’s operation or start a “timer” process.

AUTO mode:
The hob automatically controls the hood and calculates the power levels of the extractor fan based on the power levels of the different cooking zones. The light will continue working even in manual mode. If you adjust the hood values manually from the hob, the mode automatically changes to Manual.
To alternate between Manual and AUTO mode, press the (17) button on the bottom left-hand part of the control screen for the hood on the hob. If the values are adjusted manually on the hood or you turn it off while it is connected to the hob, the selected setting will stay the same for 5 minutes before reverting back to those set by the hob. If the hood had been turned off, it will turn on again after 5 minutes.

EXTERNAL SENSOR:
The external temperature sensor is a temperature measuring device that connects to the hob via Bluetooth and sends the temperature of the cooking liquid to the hob so that it can regulate the power in order to keep it stable.
First, ensure that the external sensor’s battery is charged and close to the induction hob. The sensor has a Mini-USB input with which you can connect the cable to charge the battery. To connect the external sensor, press the “Settings” icon (7) on the side menu. In the “Connectivity” section, the “Bluetooth Devices” option must be activated and the “Temperature Sensor” option selected. Press the external sensor power button and the sensor’s LED will flash green until the hob and sensor are connected. Then, the LED will remain stable (green, amber, or red depending on the battery level). When the sensor is connected to the hob, the “external sensor” icon (18) will appear on the lower left-hand corner of the screen, along with the sensor’s battery level indicator. When in use, the sensor’s LED will be off as long as the battery power is 15% or higher. Press the sensor’s ON/OFF button to see the battery level based on the LED colour:
Red: 0% – 20%
Amber: 20% – 50%
Green: 50% – 100%
To disconnect the sensor from the hob, press the ON/OFF button on the external sensor for at least 3 seconds.

External sensor accessories

• Tong for pans: Makes it possible to attach the temperature sensor to pans or low saucepans.
• USB-MicroUSB charging cable: For charging the external sensor’s battery. A universal mobile charger can also be used as long as it does not exceed 5V and 1000 mA. We recommend fully charging the battery before the first use.

BOOSTER FUNCTION:
This function makes it possible for the cooking zones to receive power above the nominal power (the number of zones using the booster simultaneously depends on the power supplied to the different zones, which must be lower than the worktop’s maximum power). To activate the Booster function, select a cooking zone then press power level “B” or the “Booster” icon. If available power is not sufficient, the power boost will not be allowed. The Booster’s activation time is limited to 5 minutes. After the automatic deactivation of the Booster, the zone will continue to operate at power level “9”. If the cookware is removed, the deactivation time will continue being counted.

RESIDUAL HEAT: After using a cooking zone, the corresponding circle is shown in red to indicate that there is residual heat. This warning disappears when the cooking zone becomes cool again.

AUTOMATIC SAFETY SWITCH-OFF
Each cooking zone will be switched off after a preset maximum time, depending on the power / temperature level. Each operation in the cooking zone resets the countdown of this maximum time.

PAN DETECTION:
If, with the cooking zone in use, the system detects that there is not a pan or dish or that the one present is unsuitable, this is indicated by a symbol in the corresponding zone (19). The programmed cooking zone switches off automatically after 1 minute if no suitable pan or dish has been recognized.
