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
Select the zone to be switched off using the corresponding button
(4). The display (5) of the zone selected lights up, while the remaining
displays are dimmed. Press the Cooking zone (4) and MINUS (2)
buttons at the same time and the setting level of the zone is changed
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
Immediate switching-OFF of all cooking zones can be achieved
anytime by means of the ON/OFF key. 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 sevensegment-
displays.
In the cooking zone located on the front left, when selecting
the power level 9 and after 30 minutes operating, the power will
decrease slightly for safety reasons. In case more power is required,
select the boost level (“P”)
Cooking Zones
There are several possible cooking zone combinations:
Single Cooking Zone (Fig. 7-a)
Depending on the model, there are 3 or 4 single cooking zones (A, B, C, D,
E) which can function independently.
Minimum diameter of the pan base to ensure optimal detection:
Zones A, B, C, D: 12 cm / Zone E: 14.5 cm
Dual Cooking Zone (Fig. 7-b)
There is a further option of two single cooking zones operating together
as if they were a single zone. The possible cooking zone combinations
are A+B or C+D. This function is enabled by simultaneously pressing the
selection keys “8” on both the zones to be combined. The following symbol
will then be shown on display “8” of the rear area:
Display “8” located on the front area will indicate the power level selected
for the combined zone.
This function makes it possible to obtain a rectangular cooking zone,
particularly suited to rectangular or oval-shaped pans.
If you are using a round pan, the minimum diameter of the base should be
20 cm in order to ensure optimal detection.
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.
NOTE:
When selecting the Booster function on any of the rear areas (left
or right), the front area located on the same side will automatically
switch off (if it was already switched on) in order to focus all the
power on the rear area. This allows you to benefit from an extra
powerful Booster.
However, when selecting the Booster function on any of the front
areas (left or right), the rear area located on the same side may be
operated up to power level 8, as it will not require as much energy
input.
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 Switch-off (Operating Time Limitation)
For each activated cooking zone a max. operating time is defined. The
max. operating time is depending on the selected cooking stage. After the
expiration of the max. operating time the cooking zone is automatically
switched off.
Each actuation of the cooking zone status (changing the cooking level
etc.) resets the count-down timer to the initial starting value.
Timer settings takes priority vs. operating time limitations for high cooking
stage setting.
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
