Description of automatic functions
Sixth Sense
The Sixth Sense function automatically selects the ideal power setting for bringing water to the boil and signals when boiling point is reached.
After positioning the pot of water, switch on the hob and select the desired cooking zone. Press the key: “A” appears on the display and the indicator light turns on. During
heating, an animation is displayed in the space next to the cooking zone.
When the water comes to the boil, the hob emits an acoustic signal. This signal is sounded three times at regular intervals. After the second signal, a minute minder is
automatically activated to keep track of boiling time. After the third signal, the hob automatically selects a lower power setting to keep the water simmering. From this moment
on, you can add any ingredients you like, set the timer and change the power setting. Changing the power setting or selecting the “hold” function overrides the sixth sense
function.
Simmering
After bringing to the boil, press the key and the hob will automatically set the correct power level to keep the pot simmering. “A” appears on the display: the indicator light
lights up. To deactivate the function, simply press OFF on the slide touchscreen.
Melting
This function maintains a permanently low temperature in the cooking zone. After positioning the pot/accessory on the chosen cooking zone, switch on the hob and select the
cooking zone. Press the key: “A” appears on the display and the indicator light turns on. To deactivate the function, simply press OFF on the slide touchscreen.
When the flexi cook function is selected, the booster and sixth sense functions cannot be used. If the timer is set, it will be displayed alongside the hotplate display
at the top.
The hob features automatic functions for each cooking zone. The symbols of the available functions are shown next to the selection key of each cooking zone.
Every time an automatic function is selected, an indicator light turns on next to the symbol and the letter “A” appears in the cooking zone display.
For correct operation of the sixth sense function, please observe the following recommendations:
-
use water only (at room temperature);
- do not add salt, other ingredients or condiments until the water reaches boiling point;
- do not change the power setting of the cooking zone or remove or move the pot;
- fill the pot to at least 1/3 full (min. 1 litre) and never to the brim (see table on the right).
- Do not use a pressure cooker on the zone with the sixth sense function selected;
For optimum results, observe the following advice:
-
Do not activate the sixth sense function if the zone is already hot (letter “H” visible on display).

The hob features automatic management of the use of the sixth sense function and booster settings, therefore in some cases it may not be possible to select the
booster when the sixth sense function is already selected on other cooking zones.
The quality of the pot used may have a bearing on sixth sense function performance.
