System lock/Safety lock
The system lock and safety lock are
deactivated if there is a power out-
age.
One-finger control is the default set-
ting. You can change the default to
three-finger control (see “Program-
ming”).
Your cooktop is equipped with a system
lock and a safety lock to prevent the
cooktop and the cooking zones being
switched on or any settings being al-
tered unintentionally.
The system lock is activated when the
cooktop is switched off. If the system
lock is activated, the cooktop cannot be
switched on and the timer cannot be
used. The cooktop is programmed so
that the system lock must be activated
manually. It can be programmed to be
activated automatically 5 minutes after
the cooktop has been switched off if it
is not manually locked first (see “Pro-
gramming”).
The safety lock is activated while the
cooktop is switched on. When the
safety lock is activated, the cooktop
can be operated only under certain
conditions:
- The power levels for the cooking
zones and the timer settings cannot
be changed.
- The cooking zones, entire cooktop,
and the timer can be turned off, but
once turned off cannot be turned on
again.
If a locked sensor is touched when the
safety lock or the system lock is acti-
vated, the indicator light comes on and
 appears in the timer display for a few
seconds.
