• The ON/OFF time of the relays
• After switching OFF the cooking zone the respective display shows “H” until the assigned
cooling zone temperature is mathematically in an uncritical level. (< 60°C).
Automatic switch-off (limited operating time)
Maximum operating time is defined for each hob zone. The maximum operating time
depends on the selected cooking level (see table). Once the maximum operating time has
expired, the hob zone is automatically deactivated.
Each activation of the hob zone status (modification of the cooking level etc.) resets the
countdown timer up to the initial start value.
The timer settings have priority in relation to the operating time limits, namely the hob zone
is turned off when the timer has expired and not when requested by the automatic power-off
(e.g.: timer of 99 minutes at cooking level 9).
Protection against unintended switching ON.
– If the electronic control detects continuous operation of a key 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 “ER03”.
– If the failure carries on for more than 10 seconds, only the code “ER03” will be displayed
as long as the failure is detected by the electronic control. If the cooking zone is in the
“hot” status, “H” will appear on the display in alternation with the failure signal.
– If no cooking zone is activated within 20 seconds after switching ON by means of the
Power-key, the control switches back from the ON condition to 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 continuous operation will not be signalled. However, before the
electronic control can be switched ON again, it has to recognize that all keys are not
operated.
Child safety lock (childproof function)
The child safety lock can only be activated with the Touch Control on if no hob zones are
active and no timer has been selected.
It is therefore necessary to simultaneously press the hob zone display of the front right hob
zone (FR) and the special Power Booster (P), then press the display of the hob area (FR)
again. At this point all displays show the symbol [L] denoting LOCKED (=child lock against
accidental activation). Any hot hob zones warning lights [H] are shown alternately to the
symbol [L].
This procedure must be completed within 10 seconds and no other key must be pressed
except for that mentioned, otherwise the procedure is cancelled because incomplete.
The electronics remain in the locked condition until the key is released, even if in the meantime
the control unit was turned off and turned back on again. Reinstatement (disconnecting from
the mains) of the command does not remove the lock.
