OPERATION
Booster function “P”
Residual Heat Indicator
The Booster function can be selected by pressing the far right of the sliding control (2). With
this function, all the cooking zones are able to receive a power supply above the nominal
power (the number of zones with booster at the same time will depend on the power pro-
vided to the different zones, which must always be less than the maximum power of the
hob).
The booster activation time is limited to 5 minutes to protect cooking utensils. After the
booster has automatically switched off, the cooking zone continues to operate at setting
level “9”.
The booster can be reactivated after a few minutes. If the pan is removed from the cooking
zone during boosting, the booster function remains active and the disabling time continues
its countdown.
Power management is based on the principle that the last modification to the setting level in
the different zones has top priority. This means that the setting levels previously configured
in the other zones may be automatically decreased
- If the induction detects that any of the cooking zones requires a reduction, the display for
this zone flashes for 3 seconds to time for correction prior to modification.
- If the selected zone is re-adjusted within the correction period, power management anal-
yses the power distribution again. If a reduction in power is not required, the flashing stops
and the original setting level remains on the corresponding display.
- Should power distribution be changed again by the user, the setting level will under no cir-
cumstances automatically increase in the zones where it has been automatically reduced.
This informs the user that the glass is at a dangerous temperature should the area around
the cooking zone be touched. The temperature is determined by a mathematical model
and any residual heat is indicated by an “H” on the corresponding 7-segment display.
Heating and cooling are calculated based on:
•- The selected setting level (between “0“ and “9“)
•- The ON/OFF time. After switching off the cooking zone, the corresponding display will
indicate “H” until the temperature in the zone has dropped below the critical level (
≤
60•C)
according to the mathematical model.
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.
