The FlexiZONE mode
The FLEXI Zone can be used to set the power of two
„interconnected” hotplates to the same level. It can be
activated if the two hotplates are OFF, by pressing the
FLEXI ZONE button
The FLEXI ZONE can be activated while the hob is on
by pressing the FLEXI ZONE button once; the LEDs
corresponding to both linked hotplates light up.
The 2 LEDs remain lit as long as the hotplates are
linked (if FLEXI ZONE button is pressed again, the
hotplates are disconnected and are both set to power
level 0).
Pressing the +, - or Max buttons for one of the two Flexi
hotplates also affects the display corresponding to the
other hotplate.
To deactivate the FLEXI ZONE, press the button .
A timer may be set for the FLEXI zone; this appears on
the display and both LEDs corresponding to the linked
hotplates light up. When the Timer button is pressed,
the two linked hotplates are treated as if they were a
single zone.
Selecting and using FLEXI ZONE
To begin using the FLEXI ZONE, press the button.
To set the power level (see above).
FLEXI ZONE operation
Once you have selected FLEXI ZONE by pressing
the button , the 2 LEDs corresponding to the FLEXI
ZONE for both hotplates light up; it will then be possible
to control both as if they were a single zone. The power
level will appear on both displays. If only the upper or
lower part is in use, the display corresponding to the
unused zone will begin to fl ash, and after 3 minutes
cooking will automatically revert to standard mode (not
FLEXI).
! Once activated, the FLEXI ZONE can also be
programmed, using the same procedure as described
for the individual hotplates.
! Accessories
For optimal FLEXI ZONE performance, we recommend
the use of pans with an elliptical or elongated base and
a major diameter of at least 250 mm; if using pans with
a smaller diameter, we recommend positioning them in
the upper or lower part as indicated by the X symbol.
If the saucepan is not in the centre of the screen
printing detail, you may hear a whistling sound or
a slight buzzing noise; this does not indicate a hob
malfunction. We recommend adjusting the position of
the pan so that it is in the centre of the FLEXI ZONE.
