Switching On The Hob - Indesit KIB 644 C E Mode D'emploi

• Loud whistle: heard when two induction elements of
GB
the same group function simultaneously at maximum
power and/or when the booster function is set on
the larger element while the other is auto-adjusted.
Noise is reduced by decreasing the power level of the
auto-adjusted induction element; pot bottom layers
made of different kinds of materials are among the
main causes of this noise.
• Fan noise: a fan is necessary to ensure the hob functions
correctly and to safeguard the electronic unit from
possible overheating. The fan functions at maximum
power when the large induction element is at maximum
power or when the booster function is on; in all other
cases, it works at average power depending on the
temperature detected. Furthermore, the fan may continue
to work even after switching the hob off, if the temperature
detected is high.
The types of noise listed above are due to induction
technology and are not necessarily operational faults.
If the (-) or (+)button is pressed for an extended period
!
of time, the display scrolls quickly though the power
levels and timer minutes.
Initial Light Conditions
When power is initially applied to the Cooktop, the to-
uch control conducts a calibration process for the to-
uch keys, which requires a low level of ambient light in
the area of the touch keys.
If during this calibration process excessive ambient
lighting is detected the User Interface displays „FL"
(Infrared Ambient Light Error) and the control cali-
bration process is suspended. In order to rectify the
process any lighting that could effect the calibration
process should be switched off (e.g. halogen cooker
hood lighting). The error will disappear when satisfac-
tory ambient lighting is detected and the touch control
calibration procedure will now complete satisfactorily.
-The „FL" error can only be generated within approx 3s
of initial power being applied to the cooktop.
-We recommend that the user switches off all cooker
hood lighting and lighting directed towards the cook-
top when power is initially applied to the cooktop.
-After the touch control has conducted its initial cali-
bration process, (approx 3s) any cooker hood or other
lighting can be switched on as normal and will not af-
fect the operation of the touch control.

Switching on the hob

When power is initially applied to the Cooktop, the
touch control conducts a calibration process for the
touch keys, which requires a low level of ambient
light in the area of the touch keys. If excessive am-
bient lighting is detected, the User Interface displo-
6
ays „FL" error and the calibration is suspended. The
error will disappear when satisfactory ambient ligh-
ting is detected and the touch control calibration pro-
cedure will now complete satisfactorily
After connecting the hob to the electricity mains, the
touch pannel might be automatically locked. To un-
clock the pannel press and hold the Control Panel
Loock button .
To switch the hob on, press and hold the
approximately one second.
The cooktop is switched On when a beep sound is
emmited and all the cooking zones displays show
the digit point.
When the cooktop is OFF, after 5 sec the control
switches off the KEYLOCK LED to reduce the power
consumption.
As soon as we touch a key, the KEYLOCK LED goes
ON and we can continue to use the cooktop, unlocking
the keyboard.
Switching off the cooktop is signalled by 3 beep sound
Setting the Power Management
The cooktop maximum power limit is 7200W. This power
limit can be reduced by the user to 2800W, 3500W or
6000W.
The sequence to set a new Cooktop Power Limit is:
·During the first 30 seconds after plugging the applian-
ce
·The Touch has to be unlocked and all Heaters Off
·Press at the same time Heater 1 and Heater 3 selection
keys
·Once this is done, a beep sounds and the actual Co-
oktop Power Limit will be shown in the heater displays.
For selecting a new Power Limit:
·With the (+) and (-) keys, the Power Limit is increased.
The selectable powers are: 2800W, 3500W, 6000W or
7200W. When the power is 7200W, if the [+] or [-] key is
touched the power changes to 2800W.
The sequence to finish recording the new Cooktop Po-
wer Limit is:
·Press at the same time Heater 1 and Heater 3 selection
keys
·Once this is done, new Cooktop Power Limit is recor-
ded and there is a system reset.
To finish without recording changes:
·If during 60 seconds there is no action, changes are not
recorded and there is a system reset.
