This appliance is not intended to be used via
an external timer or a remote control system.
The manufacturers decline any responsibility
in the event of non-compliance with what is

a qualified electrician.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE (Fig. 1)
It exploits the electromagnetic properties of most cooking vessels.
The coil (inductor) which produces the electromagnetic field is
operated and controlled by the electronic circuit.
The heat is transmitted to food by the cooking vessel itself.
The cooking process takes place as described below.
- loss of heat is minimum (high efficiency)
- the system stops automatically when the vessel is removed or
even just lifted from the hob
- the electronic circuit guarantees maximum flexibility and fine
adjustments.

Installation
All operations relative to installation (electric connection) should be
carried out by skilled personnel in conformity with the rules in force.
As for the specific instructions see part pertaining to installer.
Switching the Touch Control ON/OFF "Z"
After mains voltage is applied the control initializes for approx.
1 second before it is ready for operation.
After a reset all displays and LEDs glow for approx. 1 second. When
this time is over all displays and LEDs extinguish and the control is
in the stand-by mode. Safety lock is activated and the safety lock
indicator LED is illuminated (11).
Before turning on the hob and operating the controls, press the
safety lock button (10) for two seconds to unlock the keypad for
normal operation.
Press the ON/OFF (1) button to switch the touch control on.
The cooking zone displays show a static "0".
If a cooking zone is in the "hot" status, the display shows a static
"H" instead of "0".
After switching-ON the electronic control remains activated for 10
seconds. If no cooking zone or timer selection follows within this
period of time, the electronic control automatically switches back
into the stand-by-mode. The control can only be switched-ON
if it identifies the ON/OFF (1) key alone being operated. Should it
recognize ON/OFF (1) key activation other than that, the control
remains in the standby- mode.
If the child safety feature is active when switching on, the Safety
lock indicator (11) lights up. When the Touch Control is ON it can
be switched- OFF at any time by operating the ON/OFF (1) key. This
is also valid if the control has been locked (activated child safety
feature).
The ON/OFF (1) key has always priority in the switch-OFF function.
Automatic switch-OFF
When the control is ON it automatically switches-OFF after
10 seconds if no cooking zone or select key has been operated
within this period of time. If no pan is placed on a cooking zone after
selecting a power level for that area on the hob, it will automatically
turn off after 1 minute.
Switching a cooking zone ON and OFF
First place the pan in the chosen cooking zone. If the pan is not
present the system cannot be switched on the correspondent zone.
When the touch control is on, a cooking zone may be selected by
pressing the UP + (3) or DOWN - (2) buttons on the corresponding
area.
The display (5) for the chosen cooking zone will show the selected
power level.
If the cooking zone is "hot", "H" and "0" are alternately displayed.
Press the PLUS (3) or MINUS (2) button to select a setting and the
zone will begin to heat up.
Once the cooking zone has been selected, the setting can be
selected by keeping the PLUS (3) button pressed down. The setting
begins at level 1 and increases by 1 level every 0.4 seconds. When
setting "9" is reached, the setting will not be changed further.
If the setting level has been selected using the MINUS (2) button, the
start level is "9" (maximum level). Keep the button pressed down to
lower the active level by 1 every 0.4 seconds. When setting "0" is
reached, there will be no further setting changed. The setting can
only be changed by pressing the MINUS (2) or PLUS (3) button again.
Switching a cooking zone off
Pressing the UP (3) and DOWN (2) buttons at the same time will reset
