Turning Touch Control on/off
After start-up, the touch control requires about one second before it is ready for use. After reset, all displays and
LED s will flash for about 1 second. After this time, all displays and LED s go off and the touch control is in
stand-by status. The touch control can be turned on using the power supply button (key ON/OFF).
The displays of the cooking zones will show. If a cooking zone is hot, the display will show H . The touch control is
turned on exclusively by using only the power supply button alone. Pressing the power supply button at the same
time as other keys has no effect and the touch control remains in standby status. The touch control can be
switched off at any time using the power supply button. This is also the case if the control has been locked
with the child safety feature. The power supply button always has highest priority for shutdown.
Turning on a cooking zone
With the touch control on, select a cooking zone pressing the selection key. The respective display show a "0", the
plate is ready. If the area is hot an H will be shown on the display for the corresponding plate. By pressing the
key "+" you can select a power level and the zone will start heating up. Starting from level 1, it is increased by one
every 0.4sec. Upon reaching level 9 you cannot make any further increases. If the cooking zone is selected
using the "-" key, the initial level is 9 (the highest level available). If you hold down the key, the active level
decreases. When you reach 1 you cannot decrease it any further. Use the "+" or "-" keys for change settings.
Turning off the cooking zones
Select the zone you want to turn off using the selection key. The selection is shown by a dot in the display of the
relative zone. If you press the keys "+" and "-" at the same time, the power level will be set to 0. As an alternative,
the key "-" can be used to decrease the power level down to 0. If all cooking zones are at power level 0 , the
decimal points in the display will flash. If a cooking zone is hot, an H will be shown rather than a 0 .
All cooking zones can be switched off immediately, at any moment, by pressing the power button.
Automatic heating function (where supplied)
When the automatic heating function has been activated, the power of the cooking zone reaches 100% for an
established heating time, which depends on the selected power level. At the end of this heating time, the touch
control returns to the pre-selected power level. Procedure to start automatic heating:
- The control unit is switched on and a cooking zone is selected;
- After setting cooking stage "9" automatic heating is activated by pressing the "+" key again.
Immediately afterwards, a "A" appears on the display.
Once the parboiling boost has ended, only the selected cooking stage is indicated on the display.
Using the "minus" key you can de-activate the function at any time.
Automatic switch off function (limitation of operating time)
Based on the power level, each cooking zone is shut off after a maximum preset time if no operations are
performed. Each operation with the cooking zone (using the PLUS or MINUS keys, or the dual circuit in the
zone where present) resets the maximum operation time to its initial value.
When the control is on, the ON/OFF key has priority over all other keys, so that the control
can be shut off at any time, even in the event of multiple or continuous activation of keys.
In standby mode, continuous activation of keys will not have any effect. However, before the
electronic control can be turned back on, it must recognize that no key is activated.

and on again in the meantime. For release, press the cooking zone select and the minus key simultaneously.
