Switching a cooking zone off
A cooking zone can be switched off in two ways:
♦
With the corresponding minus button
♦
By pressing the corresponding plus and minus buttons at the same time.
When the cooking zone is switched off, the display changes from „0“ to „H“ after 3 seconds if the cooking
zone is hot.
The assignments of the plus and minus buttons to the cooking zones are stored in the EEPROM as
parameters.
4.4
Booster function
A booster function (3000 W) is available on cooking zone 1. This mode is activated by pressing the
power button. The booster function is started regardless of whether the cooking zone was previously
switched on or off.
A 9 appears in the actuator display and the booster LED comes on.
The booster function lasts max. 10 minutes. Then the appliance switches back to cooking level 9 and
the booster LED goes off.
The booster function is ended prematurely if
♦
the power button is activated again,
♦
the corresponding minus button is activated,
♦
the cooking zone temperature exceeds 250°C,
♦
the heat sink temperature exceeds 76°C.
If the saucepan is removed during the booster period, the time is stopped. If another saucepan is placed
on the zone before expiry of the saucepan sensor time (10 minutes), the remaining time is executed.
The booster function can also be activated if there is no saucepan on the cooking zone.
As the total power of a module must not exceed 3600 Watt, cooking zone 4 is limited to 600 Watt during
the booster time. If the user has specified a higher setting for cooking zone 4, the control reduces the
power; this is indicated by the corresponding actuator display flashing with the desired cooking zone
code and the reduced code 6. After the end of the booster function the preset power is provided again
at cooking zone 4.
If the booster function is not to be switched on because of too high a cooking zone or heat sink
temperature (see deactivation values), the booster LED flashes until the booster button is pressed.
