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")
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-
segmentdisplay. 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.
Key lock (child safety feature)
◊
Child safety feature:
Key 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
