dicator (9) of the selected zones will appear. Only the sliding control (3)
and the display (7) located further on the left of the control panel will
remain active. This offers a rectangular cooking zone, particularly suited
to rectangular or oval-shaped pans. Approximate diameters of the pan
bases: 20-25 cm
Total zone (Fig. 7-C)
Optionally, the 4 cooking zones located further on the left may function
as a single zone (A+B+C+D), controlled by a single sliding control. Press
button (5) to obtain a large square cooking zone suitable for large square
or round pans. Approximate diameters of the pan bases: 30-40 cm
Booster Function
The Booster function can be selected by pressing the “P” at the far right
of the sliding control, (3), for the required cooking zone. With this func-
tion, 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 provided to the different zones, which must always
be less than the maximum power of the hob). If the required zone is able
to activate the booster function, the symbol “P” is displayed.
The booster activation time is limited to 10 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 reac-
tivated 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 reduc-
tion, 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, pow-
er management analyses 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 circumstances automatically increase in the zones
where it has been automatically reduced.
Temperature Functions
There are three temperature functions available that allow a given tem-
perature level to be chosen for the required cooking zone. This temper-
ature will remained fixed without changing over time. To activate this
function, simply press the button (13) corresponding to the required
cooking zone. The indicator (14) will display the symbol corresponding
to the selected temperature level and display (7) will show the following
symbol:
There are three temperature functions available:
· Level 1: 42ºC
Recommended for defrosting or melting (chocolate, for example).
Press button (13) once.
· Level 2: 70ºC
Recommended for heating food or keeping it hot.
Press button (13) twice.
· Level 3: 94ºC
Recommended for simmering.
Press button (13) three times.
To cancel this function, repeatedly press button (13) until the symbol on
the indicator (14) disappears, or select a medium power level with the
sliding control (3).
Residual heat indicator
This informs the user that the glass is at a dangerous temperature
should the area around the cooking zone be touched.
After switching off the cooking zone, the corresponding display (7) will
indicate “H” until the temperature in the zone has dropped below the
critical level.
Automatic disconnection (operating time limit)
A maximum operating time is defined for each activated cooking zone.
The maximum operating time depends on the selected cooking power.
When the maximum operating time has passed, the cooking zone auto-
matically switches off.
Each time that the cooking zone mode is activated (change in cooking
power, etc.) the timer returns to the initial setting. The timer settings take
priority over the operating time limits when adjusting the cooking power.
Protection against unintentional activation
If the Touch Control detects continued pressure on a button for more
than 10 seconds:
- If it is the ON/OFF button, (1), all the displays flash with the symbol
shown below until the pressure is removed and any one of the buttons
is pressed again.
- If it is the sliding control, the control produces a continuous acoustic
signal and the symbol shown below flashes on the corresponding dis-
play (7). If the pressure is maintained, Touch Control switches off after
a further 20 seconds.
Water or food spilt on the glass in the control zone may be detected as a
continuous pressure on one or more buttons.
If no cooking zone is activated within 20 seconds after switching on the
touch control, it will return to standby mode.
· When the control is switched on, the ON/OFF button takes priority over
the other buttons, to allow the control to be switched off at any time, in
the event of multiple or continuous pressure on the buttons.
· In standby mode, no effect will be caused by buttons being kept held
down. In any case, to switch the electronic control back on, the control
must have detected that no buttons are pressed down.
Button lock (child safety feature)
Activating locking button (6) in stand-by or active mode will lock the
buttons and the allocated lock LED, (12), will remain lit. The activation
times for the lock button should be observed in this case. The hotplate
continues operating in the adjusted mode, but it is no longer possible to
use any of the buttons, except the lock button or the On/Off button (1).
When the buttons are locked, the On/Off button, (1) can be switched off.
The allocated button lock LED, (12), goes out when the control is disa-
bled. The button lock function LED is reactivated when it is switched on
(in stand-by mode 20 s) until it is switched off by repeatedly pressing the
lock button. The activation / deactivation of the button lock function is
not possible when the unit is switched off. When the programmed tim-
ers end, the corresponding timer alarms can be confirmed by pressing
buttons (15) or (16) or by turning off the unit with button (1). Repeatedly
activating the locking button in stand-by or active mode will unlock the
buttons and the allocated lock LED, goes out. All the sensor buttons can
be used again in their normal way.
Automatic preheating
This simplifies the cooking process as it is not necessary to supervise
the whole cooking cycle. The function establishes preheating of the
cooking zone at maximum power to take the zone to the system tem-
perature quickly. After a certain time, the setting level returns to the
programmed level.
