Operation
Once the glass ceramic hob is connected to the mains, the
power and clock indicators are switched on for a brief moment,
and eventually disappear. A sound signal confirms the
appliance is ready for use. Only the LED signal lamp for
blocked operation is on, and may be switched off by touching
the sensor.
The hob is equipped with electronic sensors which are
switched on by touching or pressing the sensor surface with
your fingertip. Each sensor reaction is confirmed by the beep.
Always take care to touch only one sensor at the time for a
short period of time (approximately 1 second). If more than one
sensor is pressed at the same time the relevant command is
not accepted. If the touch is prolonged it provokes error mode
and the appliance is switched off.
Do not place any objects upon the sensor surface (error mode)
nor any hot dishes which may damage the sensors. Keep the
sensor surface clean at all times.
Switching the hob on
When the hob is turned off all the hotplates are off and
indicator LED's are off.
To switch the hob on, touch the ON/OFF sensor. The hob is
activated and all power displays indicate
»0«
for a period of 10
seconds. Using the
(+) or (-)
sensor you may select the
desired cooking power of a particular hotplate (see Power
Regulation).
Next setting of a particular hotplate should be selected within
ten seconds, otherwise the hob will automatically be switched
off and a short warning beep is heard.
Switching the hotplates on
As long as the indicators are lit the heating power (1...9) may
be selected and altered accordingly by pressing the
(-) or (+)
sensor. By the
(+)
sensor the power is gradually increased to
the maximum level (9), while with the
(-)
sensor it is reduced
back to 0 (hotplate is switched off). In case you start the setting
by pressing the
(-)
sensor, the heating power shall immediately
start from the level 9.
Automatic cooking mode
Each hotplate may be switched to automatic cooking mode.
When the automatic cooking mode is activated the hotplate will
operate at maximum power for a limited period of time
(depending upon the power level required for continuation –
see chart) and then automatically switch to the reduced power
level to resume cooking.
Automatic cooking mode may be switched on only in case the
power setting is regulated at maximum setting 9. By touching
the hotplate
(+)
sensor the decimal dot (
•
) next to the indicator
starts flashing. Within the next ten seconds press the
(-)
sensor and select the power setting (8...1) for cooking. After
the 10 seconds have elapsed the sound signal beeps, the
decimal dot is on for the entire time this function is on. By
touching the
(-) or (+)
sensor you may vary the heating power
at any desired moment.

Automatic cooking mode may be switched off by pressing the
(-) sensor. Once the function is switched off there is a beep
heard and the decimal dot disappears.
Switching the complete hob off
The hob is switched off by pressing the main ON/OFF sensor.
The sound signal beeps and all indicators go off, except for
those hotplates which are still hot and display the warning
"H"
sign as an indication of the remaining heat.
Switching the hotplate off
Particular hotplate is switched off either by pressing the sensor
(-) to bring the heating power to
"0",
or by simultaneously
pressing both the
(+) and (-)
sensor. Display indicates
"0"
for a
short time, then the hotplate is switched off and the indicator
displays the remaining heat
"H".
Switching the extended hotplate rings on (hotplates 2 and
4)
Switch the relevant hotplate ( 2 or 4) and consequently switch
the extended hotplate ring by pressing the relevant sensor (see
the control board illustration). The LED signal lamp above the
indicator displays the extended ring is on. Now select the
random heating power for both hotplate rings together.
Extended ring may be switched off either by consequent
pressing the sensor or by reducing the heating power to
"0",
as well as by simultaneous pressing of both the
(-) and (+)
sensor. It may of course be switched off also by
switching off the entire hob.
The rear right hotplate
(4)
is equipped with two extended
hotplate rings. To switch the second ring on, press the special
second ring sensor (top left). The LED signal lamp above the
indicator displays the ring is on. To switch on the third ring
press the same sensor once again, another LED signal lamp is
on. Both extended rings are switched off by repeated pressing
the sensor. They may also be switched off by switching off the
relevant hotplate or the entire hob.
Blocking the hob operation
This function mode is intended as a protection against
accidental start or change of heating power by children or
house pets. The hob may be blocked by pressing the relevant
sensor for about 3 seconds, illuminating the LED signal lamp
above the sensor. The hob may be blocked both with the hob
switched on or off. The functioning of the complete hob is
blocked, except for the main hob switch and the blocking
sensor. In the blocked mode all hotplates may be switched off
only by pressing the main ON/OFF hob sensor, while the
blocked mode remains active. To activate a particular sensor in
the blocked mode, the signal lamp goes on for a few seconds.
If a particular hotplate is in timer automatic mode, the
countdown proceeds normally and the hotplate is switched off
at the expiry of preset time, signaling the end by the triple
beep.
The blocked mode may be switched off at anytime by pressing
the sensor. Short beep confirms the action, and the LED signal
lamp goes off.
Remaining heat display
Immediately after a particular hotplate is switched off, or in
case the complete hob is switched off, the indicator shows the
letter
"H"
as a warning that the
"hotplate is hot".
If the hob is
on and the power regulations are set at
"0",
the indicators
intermittently flash
"0" and "H",
while if the hob is switched off
the indicator displays only the warning letter
"H".
When the warning signal is on do not touch the hotplate or
place any temperature sensitive objects on the relevant
hotplate. Danger of burns!
When the indicator goes off, the hotplate surface is cool
enough to be touched safely.
In case of mains interruption, the warning signal
»H«
is off
even in case the hotplate is actually still hot, so extra caution is
recommended.
Timer function
Timer function is activated by pressing either the
(-) or the (+)
sensor. Time may be set between 1 and 99 minutes, and may
be altered by pressing either of the above sensors anytime.
This function offers two timer operation alternatives:
