the power level to 0. Alternatively, the MINUS button (2) can be used
to reduce the setting level to 0.
If a cooking zone is "hot", "H" and "0" will be alternately displayed.
Switching-OFF all cooking zones
Pressing the ON/OFF (1) button at any time will cause all cooking
zones to switch off immediately. In the standby- mode an "H"
appears on all cooking zones which are "hot". All other cooking zone
displays are not illuminated.
Wattage settings
The output of the cooking zones can be set in 9 steps which are
indicated by the figures "1" thru "9" by means of LED displays.
Boost function
The booster function can be activated for the required cooking zone
by selecting power level 9 and then pressing the UP (3) button. By
means of this function certain cooking zones are enabled to receive
power over the nominal (the number of boostable cooking zone
depends on the power available on a partial modules which is to
be lees than total hob power ). If the desired cooking zone has the
capacity to activate the booster, the display shows a "P" symbol. If
there is insufficient available power, the power level indicator for the
cooking zone that needs to automatically reduce power will display
"r" for 3 seconds, following which the power level will decrease to
the previous setting.
The boosting time is limited to 10 min to protect cooking utensils.
After the booster is switched off automatically, the cooking zone
continues operation on power level "9". The booster can be
reactivated after some minutes.
In case that the pan is removed from the cooking zone during
boosting, the boosting function remains active and boosting time
continues.
Residual heat indicator
It is meant to indicate to the user that the glass ceramic has a
dangerous touch temperature in the circumference of a cooking
zone. The temperature will be determined following a mathematical
model and the remaining residual heat will be indicated by means of
"H" on the corresponding display.
Heating-up and cooling down will be calculated dependent on:
· the selected setting („0" to „9")
· the ON/OFF time.
After switching-OFF the cooking zone the respective display shows
"H" until the assigned cooking zone temperature is mathematically
in a uncritical level. (≤ 60°C).
Automatic power OFF function (operating time limitation)
Dependent on the selected setting, every cooking zone will be
switched-OFF after a defined maximum operation time if no
operation of the assigned cooking zone follows within this time
period. Every change of the cooking zone condition (by means of
the PLUS-, MINUS- key) puts back the maximum operation time of
this cooking zone to the initial value of the operating time limitation.
Protection against unintended switching-ON
· If the electronic control realizes a continuous operation of keys for
approx. 10 seconds, it switches OFF automatically.
- If no cooking zone is activated within 10 seconds of switching
on the touch control, this will revert to stand-by status.
· When the control is switched- ON the ON/OFF-key has priority over
all other keys, so that the control can be switched-OFF anytime,
even in case of multiple or continuous operation of keys.
· In the stand-by mode a continous operation will not be signalized.
However, before the electronic control can be switched-ON again, it
has to recognize that all keys are not operated.
Key lock (child safety feature)
◊ Child safety feature:
Key lock:
To activate the child safety lock after switching on the touch control,
press the safety lock button (10) for 1 second and the safety lock
indicator LED will illuminate (11).
The safety lock function may be activated either when cooking zones
are active or when the appliance is fully switched off.
The electronic control remains in a locked condition until it gets
unlocked, even if the control has been switched-OFF and -ON in the
meantime. Also a reset of the control (after a voltage drop) does not
cancel the key lock.
Unlocking for cooking purposes: :
To unlock the touch control, press the safety lock button (10) for 1
second and the safety lock indicator LED will be extinguished (11).
Audible signal (buzzer)
While the control is in operation the following activities will be
signaled by means of a buzzer:
· normal key activation with a short sound signal.
· 3 short acoustic signals (beeps) for turning off the touch control.
Timer function (optional)
The timer function works as follows:
·
Timer function for a selected cooking zone, from 1 to 99 min: at the
end of the set time, an acoustic signal will be emitted and the timed
zone will be turned off. All three cooking zones may be programmed
independently to different timer settings. During the last minute of
the set time, the timer display (7) will show the time remaining in
seconds.
Timer programming on cooking zones
Activate the timer by pressing UP TIMER (9) or DOWN TIMER (8). The
timer display will show "00" (7) and the symbol "t" will appear on
the power level displays for each cooking zone for which the timer
is being set.
Press the power level UP (3) or DOWN (2) button on the cooking zone
to be timed; the desired zone is selected and the timer indicator LED
illuminates (6) for the selected zone.
Having selected the zone to be timed, press UP TIMER (8) or DOWN
TIMER (9) to select a time between 1 and 99 minutes. Holding the
time selection buttons pressed will cause the time to increase or
decrease more quickly.
If no cooking zone is selected for the timer function within 5 seconds,
the timer function will be automatically deactivated.
After selecting the cooking zone to be timed, the time must be
selected within 5 seconds; otherwise, the timer function will be
automatically deactivated.
The selected time will start 5 seconds after setting the timer. The
timer setting can be modified during timer cycle by pressing the
buttons UP TIMER (9) or DOWN TIMER (8). The new timer setting will
start 5 seconds after programming the new timer setting.
To deactivate the timer function at any time press simultaneously
