While the temperature on the cook top surface is above 65°C, this condition will be shown in the associated
display, by means of an “H”.
If the cook top is switched off, residual heat is shown by a static “H” in the display. If the cook top is on, but the
power level is 0, the associated display will show alternately “H” and “0”.
To generate a temperature above 65°C a heating element has to be in operation for a certain time, which
depends on the selected power level. Once this time is passed, the residual heat warming will come into
operation when the element is switched off.
If the minimum time needed to exceed 65°C is over, the length of time the residual heat indicator remains in
operation is a function of the time the element has remained turned on at a certain power level.
Safety auto-power-off
If the power level is not changed for a present time, the element in question will automatically be turned off.
The maximum operating time of an element depends on the cooking level selected.

Thermal protection of the control panel
When the control panel detects an ambient temperature above 96°C it turns off the nearest element (selected by
software), and an “H” for residual heat shows in the associated display.
An element turned off by the thermal protection can only be re-activated when the temperature falls below 89°C.
This is a safety measure to protect your cooktop.
Timer operation
The timer is activated by pressing the (+) or (-) (Key 8) timer sensors. It can be set to any value between 1 and
99 minutes and can modifies at any moment.
To cancel the timer, select the <00> value using the (-) timer sensor or switch it of by pressing the (+) and (-)
timer sensors simultaneously.
The timer can be customised to suit the needs of the user by configuring the following options:
1. Increase of timer value (1 min. /5 min.)
2. Timed heating element (fixed/programmable)
3. Indication of timed heating element
4. Duration of the acoustic alarm (1min./indefinite)
5. Default initial timer value
6. Timer/Timer-Alarm
mode
Increase of timer value
Pressing the (+) or (-) (Key 8) timer sensor for a sustained period will result in an automatic increase/decrease,
enabling the user to reach the desired timer value faster. The increase can be set to 1 minute or 5 minute
increases/decreases.
*1 minute increases:
After the tenth consecutive increase/decrease the timer value increases or decreases fasten
*5 minute increases:
After the fifth consecutive increase/decrease when the timer value reaches a multiple of 5, it increases or
decreases 5 by 5 units instead of 1 by 1.
Timed heating element
Any of the heating elements under the touch control system, either single or double, can be timed.
When the timed period is over, the timed heating-element (and if applicable the twin area as well)
