Use of the multiple circuits (where supplied)
Depending on the model, your appliance can have a DUAL or a TRIPLE heating element. When a multiple plate is
activated, the internal circuits are turned on. If you also want to turn on the outermost circuit, you need only
select the extended zone key. By means of the multiple-circuit key, the outermost circuits of the cooking zone
can be de-activated at any time. An active external circuit is shown by a special additional LED. A new activation
of the multiple-circuit key activates the external circuits again and the assigned LED’s come back on.
If the element to be controlled is a triple-circuit radiant hotplate, the following applies:
Pressing the multiple-circuit button for the first time switches off the outermost circuit and the
indicator light at the top of the display.
Pressing the multiple-circuit button a second time switches off the median circuit and the
indicator light at the bottom of the display.
Pressing this button a third time, switches on the median circuit again.
Further pressing adds the third circuit and its related indicator light.
Timer / Alarm mode (where supplied)
The timer has two different working modes:
-
Timer mode: When the programmed period is over, the timed heating element switches itself off automatically.
If the timer is set in this mode, this is indicated by a led near the timer display.
-
Alarm mode: This is only a count-down timer that does not control the heating elements;
The working mode is programmable by the user by touching the selection-zone key.
In any working mode, after the time has been set, the countdown starts.
When time has expired, a buzzer goes on and the display flashes until any keys is touched (or after few minutes)
It can be set to any value between 1 and 99 minutes and can be modified at any time;
Continuous activation of PLUS or MINUS provide dynamic increase of the speed of variation up to a maximum value.
To cancel the count-down, select the "00" value using the "
-
" key or press the the "+" or "-" keys at the same time
Timer
Any of the heating elements under the touch control system, both simple or double, can be timed. When the timed
period is over, the timed heating element (and if applicable the twin area as well) switches itself off automatically.
For timer control of a heating element first press the selection-zone key,
then the power level and finally and then the timer keys.
The timer can be apply to one heating element at a time. By selecting another cooking zone after the timer is set,
the display show a led corresponding to the heating zone timed, and the second zone can work normally.
Alarm
The alarm mode is activated by pressing only the "
+
" or "
-
" key; It can be activated also when the touch control
and the hob are off. If the touch control is turned on (using the power key) the alarm mode goes off automatically.
Thermal protection of the control panel
When the control panel detects an ambient temperature greater than 95°C (+- 5%) it shuts off the elements. A heating
element that is shut off by the thermal protection can be turned on only when the temperature drops below 95°C.
