BOIL
This function allows you to bring water to a boil and keep it
boiling. The water (preferably at room temperature) should be
placed in the pot and left uncovered. In all cases, users are
advised to monitor the boiling water closely, and check the
amount of water remaining regularly. The quantity of the water is
defined in the image below on the dimension of the burner.
KEEP WARM
This function allows you to keep your food at an ideal serving
temperature, usually after cooking is complete, or can maintain an
ideal temperature for reducing liquids very slowly.

Indicators
POT INCORRECTLY POSITIONED OR MISSING
This symbol appears if the pot is not suitable for induction
cooking, is not positioned correctly or is not of an appropriate size
for the cooking zone selected. If no pot is detected within
30 seconds of making the selection, the cooking zone switches
off.
RESIDUAL HEAT
If “H” appears on the display, this means that the cooking zone
is hot. The indicator lights up even if the zone has not been
activated but has been heated due to the use of the adjacent
zone, or because a hot pot has been placed on it. When the
cooking zone has cooled down, the “H” disappears.
