ASSISTED SENSOR BOIL
Asst
The ideal function to manage the heating of water 8-17 cups
(2 L - 4 L) to a boiling temperature and help prevent over boiling
during the cooking process.
At the end of the heating stage, the cooktop will make a sound to
alert you that it is time to move to the next cooking stage. Press
the "Asst" button to confirm that the food is going to be placed in
the pot and the cooktop will move to the next stage. The system
is able to monitor most of the cooking process to help prevent
over boiling, but it is always necessary to stay present while the
cooktop is in use and adjust the power level, if necessary. For
best results, it is recommended to use this function with the
suggested accessory (See Assistance or Service section to order
Accessories).
ASSISTED SENSOR GRILL
Asst
The ideal function for heating a griddle at the best temperature.
At the end of the heating stage, the cooktop will emit an
acoustic signal to alert you that it is time to move to the next
cooking stage. The cooktop will stabilize the temperature and, if
necessary, adjust to keep it consistent. Press the "Asst" button
to confirm that the food is going to be placed on the griddle then
the cooktop will move to the next stage. It is best to use this
function when both the griddle and fat are at room temperature.
For best results, it is recommended to use this function with the
suggested accessory (See Assistance or Service section to order
Accessories).

■
Cookware manufactured under license by Meyer Corporation.
IMPORTANT:
The sensors for the auto cooking functions have been
■
configured specifically for the recommended pans.
It is important to match the size of the pan to the size of the
■
cooking zone.
Using pots/pans of the incorrect size or poorly positioning
■
pans on the cooking zone may cause limited activation of the
sensors.
Pots/pans from other manufacturers may not perform
■
well. They may heat to a temperature above or below the
programmed temperature setting. If using a pan that is not
the recommended accessory, monitor your cooking process
closely and switch to a manual mode if necessary.
Your unit has a built in feature to shut itself off during over
■
voltage conditions, water spillage on the touch control, empty
pan, or for extended cooking durations. If this occurs, you
may turn the burner back on and resume cooking without
issue.
Always keep the pot/pan centered on the element.
■
It is recommended to leave the accessory stationary during
■
the heating phase in order to obtain a more accurate control.
Always wait for the acoustic warning before inserting the food
■
and start from cold only with any seasoning.
In case of repeated cooking, it is advisable not to turn off the
■
automatic function, but to continue cooking, letting the control
maintain the correct temperature.
If possible, avoid using the assisted cooking functions when
■
the letter "H" is present, which means the element is still hot.
Let the element cool down before using this function again.
