The Boost Function
The
Boost
function is available at each cooking zone. It is used to speed up the initial heat up time (say boil a
pot of water). Select a cooking zone and set the temperature. While the decimal point on the display is lit,
press the
Boost
button. The display will alternate between “P” and the heat setting.
Note: The
Boost
function is not always available (depending on what else is being used), and if the power
requirements are exceeded, the display will flash with an alternative setting for 3 seconds. Do not leave the
appliance unattended while this function is active.
To disable the
Boost
function, press the
Heater Selection Button
for the cooking zone again (so the
Decimal
Point
is lit) and adjust the temperature setting with
Increase Heat Setting Button
or
Decrease Heat Setting
Button
. The display will no longer alternate between “P” and the heat setting.
Locking The Keys
The child lock is used to set the appliance up so when it is first turned on, it is in a locked mode (which must
be unlocked before a cooking function can take place). While locked, touch modifications (e.g. increase heat
settings) and others will not be possible. It is only possible to switch the appliance off.
Turn the appliance on, but do not activate any functions. Press the
Increase Heat Setting Button
and
Decrease Heat Setting Button
together, and then the
Increase Heat Setting Button
again. The display shows
an “L” on all cooking zone displays (or alternating ”H” & “L”) and will remain locked even if the unit is turned
off & on.
To unlock the unit, press the
Increase Heat Setting Button
and
Decrease Heat Setting Button
together, and
then the
Decrease Heat Setting Button
again. The “L” displays will switch back to the heat settings and will
not be active when the unit is next turned on.
The
Key Lock button
can be used to stop access to any functions (except the
On/Off
function) while the
cooktop is being used. Once the cooktop has been set up to cook, press the
Key Lock button
for 2 seconds
until there is an audible alarm and the key lock symbol will be lit. Repeat the process to remove the key lock
(the key lock symbol will no longer be lit). If the unit is turned off & on, the key lock will remain active.
The Smart Pause Function
This function reduces the power of all cooking zones for 30 minutes (at which point the appliance will turn off).
Activate by pushing the
Smart Pause Button.
The displays will alternate between “ " “ and their correct
reading. Turn the function off by pressing the button a second time.
TOUCH CONTROL SAFETY FUNCTIONS
The following safety functions are available to avoid unintended operations of the cooktop control:
Hotplate Safety Cut Off
To prevent the appliance from unwanted, random button operation, a sensor monitoring is included.
In the case of one or more buttons being pressed longer than 12 seconds, the sensor monitoring routine
indicates acoustically that an “error” (pot or other object placed on the button, sensor failure, etc.) has
occurred and switches off the appliance.
If residual heat is present, it will be displayed in all other Heat Level Displays with a red “H”.
Over Temperature Switch Off
Because the controls are very close to the hotplates on the front of the cooktop, it is possible that a pot can be
placed half on the control and not sensed by the sensor safety cut off (not covering a sensor). This can cause
the cooktop to heat up to a very high temperature, which makes the glass and the buttons untouchable
without burning a finger.
To prevent the cooktop control unit from damage caused by overheating, a temperature sensor is available
on the touch control unit which will turn the appliance off when overheating occurs.
Spill Function
The cooktop has a sensor that detects if liquids are spilled on the control panel. This shows up as a flashing
“F” in each Heat level display (even when the unit is not operating). The easiest remedy is to clean/dry the
control panel with a moistened cloth and leave for a minute to dry. If the display is not repeated it is safe to
continue cooking.
