Turning On and Turning Off the Cooktop
NOTE: Do not operate the
C
ooktop without first placing a suitably sized cookware on the
appropriate cooking zone. If the correct sized cookware is not placed on the cooking zone, the
Cooking Zone Select touch control & Power LED display will indicate pan not detected. Settings can
be changed, but the zone will not work until the pot is replaced.
If the
Cooktop
is in Stand-By-Mode, it is put into Operating-Mode by pressing the On/Off Power
touch control for at least 1 second. A beep signal indicates the successful operation acoustically,
with a small indicator above the touch control being lit.
Each Cooking Zone Select touch control & Power LED display will display a ´0`. The decimal points
on the Cooking Zone Power Displays will flash until a cooking zone is selected.
•
If there is no operation within 20 seconds, all the Cooking Zone Select touch control & Power
LED displays will automatically turn off and the
Cooktop
will be re-set into Stand-By-Mode .
•
If the On/Off Power touch control is pressed for more than 1 second (in Operating-Mode ), the
Cooktop
is switched off and is set into the Stand-By-Mode again. The
Cooktop
can be turned
off by pressing On/Off at any time. The small indicator above the touch control will also turn off.
•
If there is any residual heat remaining in a cooking zone, this will be indicated in the
corresponding Cooking Zone Select touch control & Power LED display as a red “H” .
Selecting A Cooking Zone
1. Select a single cooking zone by pressing the corresponding Cooking Zone Select touch control &
Power LED display (07, 08, 09 or 10), and the decimal point of the chosen cooking zone stays
bright while the others turn off.
2. For the selected cooking zone, you can set or adjust the power level between 1-9 by touching the
Power/Timer Slide touch control (05) All of the other cooking zone displays will have a visible ‘O’,
value (if in use) or ‘H’ (if recently used). The Power/Timer Slide touch control can be operated by
either touching the sensor at some point (lower values to the left), or placing a finger on the sensor
and sliding it left and right. The position will be displayed on the Power/Timer Slide LED Indicator
above, as well as on the Cooking Zone Select touch control & Power LED display.
If left idle for more than 10 seconds, the LED for the chosen cooking zone display will turn off
(the cooking zone is no longer selected). Press the Cooking Zone Select touch control & Power
LED display again to select the cooking zone again. Other cooking zones can be selected without
waiting for the previous one to become inactive.
The Cooking Zone Select touch control & Power LED display works on a thermostat system. This
means that the cooking zone will switch on and off in order to remain at the chosen Power Level.
NOTE the cooking zone will remain on for longer periods if a higher Power Level is chosen,
alternatively the cooking zone will be on less regularly on lower Power Level Settings.
Turning Off Individual Cooking Zones
A cooking zone can be turned off by selecting the specific cooking zone touching the Cooking Zone
Select touch control & Power LED display and then using the Power/Timer Slide touch control to
set the power to 0.
The Boost Function
The Boost function is available to all cooking zones. It is used to speed up
the initial heat up time (boil a pot of water) and only runs for a short time (5 minutes).
1. Select a cooking zone and press the Boost Power touch control (04) once, so the Cooking Zone
Select touch control & Power LED display changes from the current value to “P”. The power boost
function is now active (indicator above the sensor is lit). Once the 5 minutes has passed, the cooking
zone power level will drop to 9.
Note: The Boost function uses significantly more power than the nominal power (see
Cooktop
details). If used in conjunction with other cooking zones, the max power available on the other
cooking zones may be reduced to keep power usage within the total allowed.
2.
To disable the Boost function, press the Cooking Zone Select touch control & Power LED display
for the cooking zone again (so the decimal point is on) and either press the Boost Power touch
control (04) again (the cooking zone power level reverts to 9) or adjust the power level with the
Power/Timer Slide touch control (05). The indicator above the Boost Power touch control will turn off
(unless the second zone is using the boost function).
