Programming of the specific hob zone timer
The power-on of the Touch Control enables the timer setting for dedicated hob zones.
– If you activate a cooking area (cooking area level > 0) and then select the timer display
(within 10 seconds), you can assign a value of the timer to the cooking area as a function
of switching off the cooking area. The LED corresponding to the timer indicates the hob
zone for which the timer has been activated.
– As soon as the timer is selected, one of the LEDs (9) corresponding to the cooking
area flashes and the timer shows “0-” indicating that the first digit of the timer can be
programmed using the slider area. Once you have set the first digit, pressing the timer
display allows you to set the second digit.
– When switching from one hob zone to another, the timer display shows the current timer
value of the related hob zone. The timer setting of the other hob zones remain active.
– The other settings are the same as those for the independent timer.
– If more than one timer is active, the display shows the value of the lowest timer (after a
deselection time of 10 seconds).
– After the set time has expired, an acoustic signal is activated and the timer display shows
the flashing “00” symbol. The LED of the corresponding timer flashes at the same time.
The cooking area programmed turns off and the symbol “0” is displayed fixed. The symbol
“H” is displayed after 10 seconds (deselection time) in correspondence with a hot hob
zone (“hot”). Otherwise the symbol “0” is displayed.
– The acoustic signal and flashing hob zone LED stop after 2 minutes and/or activating any
key.
At this point the displays disappear and the hob zone remains deselected.
The behaviour of the specific hob zone timer is similar to that of the independent timer.
If a timer is programmed for a hob zone, the limitation of the operating time depend on the
timer value and not on the value of the standard table.
The precision of the timer value depends on the precision of the clock μC that can deviate
by +/- 4% in 99 minutes.
Food warmer function (optional)
The food warmer function keeps the food on a hob zone warm.
In this case the selected hob zone is activated at low power.
When the food warmer function is activated for a hob zone, the corresponding display
indicates the “u” symbol (see symbols).
Activation/Deactivation
The food warming function can also be activated as an additional cooking level between 0
and 1.
To use the foodwarmer function, select an area, set it to 1 using the slider and then
immediately to 0. For the operating times, see the table.
Time limitation of the heat holding function
For microbiological reasons, the food warming function should not be used for excessively
prolonged periods (maximum 1 hour. For this reason the Touch Control automatically
