Boost function
After selection of a respective cooking zone, the boost function can
be activated by selecting the power level 9 and then pressing PLUS
(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. In case the available power is not enough the cooking stage
display flashes for 3 seconds on the cooking zone which needs to be
reduced and which requires automatic adjustment.
The boosting time is limited to 5 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.
The power management is based on on the principle that the last
entry is requested by the induction as top priority. That means that
previous actions and settings also made for the other cooking zones
are reversed automatically, if necessary.
- If induction identifies the necessity of reducing power at a cooking
zone, the selected cooking stage flashes on that cooking zone
providing a correction period of 3 sec before the power is reduced
automatically to a minimum cooking stage.
- If the setting is adjusted within the correction period, the power
management checks the settings again. Should a new setting lead to
further power reduction, the correction period starts again.
- If no automatic correction needs being made to the cooking zone
setting, the flashing stops immediately and the original value
remains as a steady display indication. Should the situation change
again on the power reduced cooking zone, no automatic power
increase is effected.
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 7-segment 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. The control
sends out an audible failure signal for 10 seconds, so that the user
can remove the object which has been mistakenly placed onto the
operation surface. The displays show the failure code " E R 0 3 " .
If the failure carries on for more than 10 seconds, only the code "E
R 0 3 " will be displayed as long as the failure will be recognized
by the electronic control. If the cooking zone is in the "hot" status,
"H" will appear on the display in alteration with the failure notice.
· If no cooking zone will be activated within 20 seconds after
switching-ON by means of the Power-key, the control switches
back from the ON-condition into the stand-by-mode.
· 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.
Locking systems
◊ Key lock:
The actuation of the key lock key "7" in the wait or active mode locks
the keyboard a key symbol appear in the displays "8":
siguiente:
Here, the actuation times of the key-lock key have to be taken into
account. The control continues to work in the set mode, but may no
longer be operated with any key, except the key-lock key itself or
the on/off key "1".
The switching OFF with the on/off key "1" is also possible in the
locked condition. The lock symbol in display "8" fades when
switching off the control. The key-lock function included the lock
symbol in display "8" is active again when switching on (in wait
mode 20 s) until this is deactivated by a repeated actuation of the
key-lock key. The activation/deactivation of the key-lock function in
the off mode is not possible. When programmed timers expire the
respective timer alarms may be confirmed by actuating any key
without needing to unlock the control. The repeated actuation of the
key-lock key in the wait or active mode unlocks the keyboard and
the assigned key-lock symbol fades. All sensor keys may be operated
as usual again.
◊ Child safety feature:
Activating the child lock:
After switching-ON the control the child safety feature can be
activated. To achieve this it is necessary to simultaneously
operate the front right cooking zone- select-key and the
MINUS-key and then press the front right cooking-zone-select key
again. There will be an "L", meaning LOCKED (child safety feature
against unintended switching-ON). If a cooking zone is in the "hot"
condition, "L" and "H" will be displayed in alternation.
This course of operation has to take place within a period of 10
seconds, no other key than described above may be operated.
Otherwise the input will be interrupted because of incompleteness,
the cook top will not be locked then.
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 and operate the control it is required to operate the front
right cooking- zone select- key and the MINUS-key simultaneously.
"L" (LOCKED) in the display extinguishes and all cooking zones
show "0" with a blinking dot. Should a cooking zone be "hot", "H" is
displayed instead of the static "0". After switching- OFF the control,
the child safety feature is active again.
Cancelling the key lock:
After switching-ON the control the child safety feature can be
deactivated. Here it is necessary to simultaneously operate the front
right cooking-zone-select key and the MINUS-key and then operate
the MINUS-key alone. If all steps have been carried out in the right
order within 10 seconds the key lock gets cancelled and the control
is OFF. Otherwise the input will be considered incomplete, the control
remains locked and switches-OFF after 20 seconds.
After a renewed switching-ON by means of the ON/OFF key all
