Instructions for use and maintenance
Remaining heat indicator
When an active hotplate is switched off, or when the entire cooktop is switched off, the indicator (E) displays »H«, as a
signal that a particular »hotplate is still hot«.
Display time is calculated in relation to the used heating power and the period the hotplate was active prior switching off.
Even when warning signal “H” disappears, hotplate may still be hot in certain cases (power failure, leaving any
temperature sensitive objects on the hotplate).
Be careful, danger of burns!
Pause
The Pause mode is not possible within the first 6 seconds after switching on.
The execution of the function is only possible if at least one cooking zone is in operation.
Activating the Pause function
•
Actuating the pause key (G) for ≥1 second, the LED (G
1
) is statically illuminated.
The pause conditions may also be activated with cooking zone-specific errors , here, the error display is hidden. Also
residual heat indication , special message such as A or “no pan” are hidden, the pause has priority.
If there is a general error during the pause, the control switches off and terminates the mode.
During the Pause function:
•
Already programmed timers are stopped
•
Automatic heat-up is also switched off
•
The residual heat calculation and operating time limitation continue
•
The LED’s of other functions (timer, multi-circuits,etc…) continue illuminated depending on the status
The Pause condition may last for max. 10 minutes. If the status is not terminated within this time, the control switches
off. The cooking zone may be switched at any time with the ON/OFF key (A), a possibly activated Pause mode is then
terminated.
Terminated the Pause mode
The Pause key (G) and any other key (not the same again) has to be actuated within 10 seconds.
This re-establishes the condition before the Pause mode
Recall
By using this function the settings may be recovered quickly, when the control was switched off with the main switch by
mistake. After switching off with the ON/OFF key (A), the operator has 6 seconds to switch on again the control and
another 6 seconds to actuate the pause key (G).
Automatic fast heating
When automatic cooking mode is activated the hotplate will operate at maximum power for a limited period of time and
then automatically switch to the reduced power level to resume cooking. It may be switched on in any of the hotplates
for all power settings except for setting “9” where power is set at maximum all the time.
Automatic cooking mode is activated on any idle hotplate.
•
Select a particular hotplate, power indicator displays “0”.
•
First touch of the slide sensor (B) must be to the extreme right, followed by a new pressure level 9. Display (E)
indicates “A”, automatic cooking mode is on.
•
Until the decimal point (E
1
) flashes, it is possible setting the desired power level (8...1) further by touching the slide
sensor.
•
Display alternate “A” and the level set cooking
Once the time from the chart below expires, the function is switched off and “A” disappears.
You can also switch the automatic cooking mode off anytime by bringing power setting to “0”.
