Smeg P764AO [10/15] Switching off

Instructions for the user

7.2.10 Switching off

The hob switches off when all the displays read 0.

About 30 seconds after the last plate is set on 0, the hob will switch off automatically.

If the plates are hot, 5 seconds after the switch-off the "H" appears, warning of the residual heat.

7.2.11 “DEMO” mode

Some models have a DEMO function (not normally enabled) which deactivates the plates. If,

however, you are experiencing problems, the following keystroke sequence, to be executed within 60

seconds of switching on the hob, will deactivate DEMO mode.

Press the leftmost key

one time, then the third key from the left two times, and finally the second

key from the left

three times.

For best results and energy saving, only use receptacles suitable for electric cooking:

- The bottom of the receptacles must be very thick and perfectly flat; before

placing on the cooking hob, make sure that it, as well as the cooking hob

itself, are perfectly clean and dry.

- To avoid scratching of the cooking hob, never use cast-iron receptacles or

receptacles with a rough bottom.

- To avoid waste of energy, make sure that the diameter of the receptacle

bottom is the same as that of the circle marked on the cooking hob.
