USER MANUAL 2 PIN 530 FRANKE

1. Installation (Fig 1)

Installation is the buyer's responsibility. The manufacturer accepts no liability for this service. Any action that the manufacturer has to take due to an erroneous installation will not be covered by the guarantee.

The flush-mounted cook tops are designed for installation in work tops made of all kinds of material, providing they can withstand a temperature of 100°C, and are between 30 and 40 mm thick. If the cook top is installed in a position so that the side of a kitchen unit comes up against its left-hand or right-hand side, the distance between the vertical panel and the edge of the cook top must always be at least 150 mm. The distance between the back wall and the edge of the cook top must be at least 55 mm. A partition made of insulating material (wood or the like) must be inserted between the cook top and the space below. This partition must be at least 17mm from the underside of the cook top tray.

Ventilation outlet: on the front side a free gap of at least 5mm have to be provided between the worktop and the front part of the furniture (or the oven).

Fixing the cook top to the unit (Fig 2)

The cook top is fixed to the unit by means of the brackets and accessories provided. Holes are provided in the bottom of the tray so that you can attach the screws (C) that hold the brackets (B) in place.

Applying the seal (Fig 3)

Important - The figure shows how the seal must be attached all around the perimeter.

This cook top has been designed for non-professional, domestic use.

2. Electric connections (Fig 4)

Check the details given on the nameplate situated on the underside of the cook top, then make sure that the rated mains voltage and power available are suitable for its operation.

Before making the electric connections, check the efficiency of the earthing system. Earthing of the cook top is compulsory by law. The manufacturer will accept no liability for any personal injury or damage to property deriving from failure to comply with this requirement.

For models without a plug, fit a standard plug capable of withstanding the specified load on the power cord. The cord's earthing conductor is colored yellow and green. The plug must be accessible after the installation.

If you make a fixed connection to the mains, insert an all-pole circuit breaker between the cooktop and the mains. This device shall have a contact separation in all poles, providing full disconnection under overvoltage category III conditions.

To connect the cook top power cord, loosen and remove the cover on the terminal block in order to access the contacts inside. Make the connection, blocking the cord in place with the cable clamp provided and then close the terminal block cover again immediately.

If you have to change the cord, the earthing (yellow / green) conductor must always be 10 mm longer than the line conductors.

Use only rubber cable type H05RR-F.

DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY. In the parts destined to come into contact with foodstuffs, this appliance is in accordance with the requirements of the EC directive 89/109 transposed in the Italian Legislative Decree N° 108 of 25/01/92.

CE Appliance conforming to the European directives 89/336/EEC, 93/68/EEC, 73/23/EEC and subsequent revisions.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Important: Before cooking with the appliance for the first time, it is important to clean the cook top.

The induction cooking method rapidly transfers the energy needed for cooking directly to the pan, so the cook top surface remains cold but the pan heats up. The result is a fast, cost-effective and accurate cooking method.

This type of cook top can be used with enameled steel or stainless steel pans; it is not suitable for use with glass, ceramic or aluminum pans (unless a special magnetic base plate is used).

Any pan with a bottom that is not perfectly flat is unsuitable and may damage the cook top.

Touch controls

All operations are performed by means of touch controls (capacitive sensors) situated on the front of the cooktop; there is a display relating to each key.

Every action is confirmed by an acoustic signal.

2. Turning on and off (Fig 6)

1. Touch the on/off button (1).

The control is enabled: the setting level indicators (3) read "0" and the decimal points (6) flash on and off.

The next step must be carried out within 10 seconds, otherwise the appliance goes off automatically.

Turning on the burner (Fig 6)

If the control is ON, the respective cooking zone can be selected by operating a cooking-zone-select-key (= PLUS-key (5-2) of the respective cooking zone). There is a static dot indication (6) in the respective display. If the cooking zone is hot, "H" is displayed instead of "0". On all other cooking zone displays (3), the blinking dot extinguishes. Then a setting will be chosen by a renewed operation of the cooking-zone-select-key or the MINUS-key, and the cooking zone begins to heat up. In order to use the cooking-zone-select-key as a PLUS-key, the control has to recognize that after the selection the cooking zone has been released for 0.3 seconds.

After selection of a cooking zone, the setting can be increased by continuously pressing the PLUS-key, starting at step "1" it is increased by 1 step every 0.4 seconds. When setting "9" is reached, the setting will not be changed further (end stop). If the selected cooking zone is switched ON by means of the MINUS key (4), the cooking zone starts at the maximum setting "9" ("reverse switching-ON"). When the key is continuously operated, it decreases by 1 step every 0.4 seconds. When setting "0" is reached, there will be no further setting changed (end stop). Only a renewed operation of the MINUS (or PLUS) key changes the setting.

Turning off the burner /Turning off the burner instantly:

To switch off an individual cooking zone, the respective cooking zone has to be selected with the cooking-zone-select-key (= PLUS). The selection is indicated with the static dot in the respective cooking zone display. If the control recognizes that the PLUS- (cooking-zone-select-key is the PLUS-key) and the MINUS-key have been activated simultaneously the setting of the selected cooking zone will be put back to "0". Alternatively, the MINUS-key can be used to count down the setting to "0".

If all cooking zones are at "0", all decimal points in the cooking zone displays are blinking. If a cooking zone is "hot", "H" will be displayed instead of "0".

Residual heat indicator (Fig 7)

As long as the temperature of the burner remains high enough to cause injury, the display corresponding to the burner shows the "H" symbol (residual heat). This indication only disappears when there is no longer any danger (at 60°C).

The display shows a “0” as long as the temperature remains below 60° C, whereas it shows an “H” whenever the temperature exceeds 60° C.

To save energy, turn off the burner in advance, in order to exploit the residual heat.

The residual heat indicator "H" is lost in the event of a mains power cut lasting more than 3 seconds.

Turning off the cook top (Fig. 8)

The cook top can be turned off at any time by means of the on/off key (1).

3. Pan sensor (Fig. 9)

Each burner is complete with its own sensor for detecting the presence of a pan.

The system is fine-adjusted to recognize the presence of a pan that, according to the scale of the EN standards, is one size smaller than the nominal diameter of the burner. If the burner fails to detect any pan, the corresponding display shows the symbol on figure.

If this symbol appears when a pan is actually on the burner, this generally means that the size or shape of the pan concerned is unsuitable. In this case, check whether the type of pan is suitable for induction cooking (see the pan manufacturer's trademark or instructions).

If a burner is selected but no pan is detected, the system repeats the pan sensor test approximately every 2 seconds.

4. Protection against unintended switching-ON

If the electronic control realizes a continuous operation of keys for approx. 10 seconds, it switches OFF automatically. The control sends out an audible failure signal for 10 seconds, so that the user can remove the object which has been mistakenly placed onto the operation surface. The displays show the failure code "E R 0 3". If the failure carries on for more than 10 seconds, only the code "E R 0 3" will be displayed as long as the failure will be recognized by the electronic control. If the cooking zone is in the "hot" status, "H" will appear on the display in alteration with the failure notice.

If no cooking zone will be activated within 20 seconds after switching-ON by means of the Power-key, the control switches back from the ON-condition into the stand-by-mode.

When the control is switched-ON the ON/OFF-key has priority over all other keys, so that the control can be switched-OFF anytime, even in case of multiple or continuous operation of keys.

In the stand-by mode a continuous operation will not be signalized. However, before the electronic control can be switched-ON again, it has to recognize that all keys are not operated.

5. Locking the cook top functions

After switching-ON the control the child safety feature can be activated. To achieve this it is necessary to simultaneously operate the front right cooking-zone-select-key (2-5) and the MINUS-key(4) and then press the front right cooking-zone-select-key (2-5) again [for the model PIN530 touch the front left cooking zone key]. There will be an "L", meaning LOCKED (child safety feature against unintended switching-ON). If a cooking zone is in the "hot" condition, "L" and "H" will be displayed in alternation.

This course of operation has to take place within a period of 10 seconds, no other key than described above may be operated. Otherwise the input will be interrupted because of incompleteness, the cooktop will not be locked then.

The electronic control remains in a locked condition until it gets unlocked, even if the control has been switched-OFF and -ON in the meantime. Also a reset of the control (after a voltage drop) does not cancel the key lock.

Unlocking for cooking purposes:

To unlock and operate the control it is required to operate the front right cooking-zone-select-key and the MINUS-key (4) simultaneously [for the model PIN530 touch the front left cooking zone key]. "L" (LOCKED) in the display extinguishes and all cooking zones show "0" with a blinking dot. Should a cooking zone be "hot", "H" is displayed instead of the static "0". After switching-OFF the control, the child safety feature is active again.

Cancelling the key lock:

After switching ON the control, the child safety feature can be deactivated. To do this, it is necessary to simultaneously operate the front right cooking zone select key and the MINUS key, and then operate the MINUS key alone (for model PIN530, touch the front left cooking zone key). If all steps have been carried out in the right order within 10 seconds, the key lock gets cancelled and the control is OFF. Otherwise, the input will be considered incomplete, the control remains locked and switches OFF after 20 seconds.

After a renewed switching ON by means of the ON/OFF key, all displays show "0", the display dots are blinking, and the control is ready for cooking. If a cooking zone is "hot", "H" will be displayed instead of the static "0".

6. Timer (ONLY PIN530)

The control device can also have an incorporated timer, which can be assigned to one of the four areas.

A special key (7) will activate this function, and the time will appear on the display (8). The time can be adjusted using keys (7) and "-" (4). Countdown will start immediately. The time can also be adjusted once countdown has begun.

If no area has been selected, the timer will function as a simple timer. An acoustic signal will sound once countdown is complete.

If, on the other hand, an area has been selected, the timer will be assigned to that area. Once countdown is complete, an acoustic signal will sound and the area will switch off automatically.

Enabling the timer (Fig 10)

Select a cooking zone and select the required power setting (from 1 to 9).

Touch the timer key (7) of the timer. The timer display (8) will show "00".

The corresponding timer pilot light (9) comes on.

Adjust the time from 1 to 99 by means of the "timer" key (7) and "-" keys (4).

Press again the relevant key (2) of the selected cooking zone to confirm the programming operation.

The timer will be assigned to that area: Once countdown is complete, the area will switch off automatically.

Once countdown is complete, an acoustic signal will sound for 30 seconds.

Multiple timer programming

A heating zone is already programmed: the corresponding indicator light (9) is on, and the timer display (8) is activated.

It starts flashing slowly as soon as you start to program another heating zone.

Select the second heating zone.

Touch the timer key (7) to access the timer function, the corresponding timer indicator light (9) turns on.

Adjust the time from 1 to 99 by means of the "timer" key (7) and "-" keys (4).

Press again the relevant key (2) of the selected cooking zone to confirm the programming operation.

NOTE: the timer indicator light related to the heating zone just programmed flashes slowly and then remains lit once the time has been confirmed by pressing the timer key (8) for the second time.

The indicator light that corresponds to the previously programmed heating zone flashes.

To display the remaining time programmed for a heating zone, select it with the corresponding key; its indicator light remains on while the other one flashes.

7. Safety cut-out

If one or more burners are accidentally left on, the control automatically turns them off after a certain time has elapsed. The table below indicates the time interval, which depends on the power level setting.

Level	Time limit (hours)
1 - 2	6
3 - 4	5
5	4
6 - 9	1.5

If the safety cut-out has tripped, the symbol "H" is displayed.

To avoid the automatic cut-out being tripped, simply touch the burner selection key or the "+" or "-" keys before the time runs out.

8 Automatic preheating (ONLY PIN530)

This function preheats the burner on maximum power in order to bring it rapidly up to the required temperature. After a given time interval, the power level returns spontaneously to the established setting.

Enabling automatic preheating (Fig 11)

Select the burner concerned by means of the key (2).

Select level 9 by means of the “-” key, then select level 9 with the “+” key. Finally select the required power setting, e.g. level 6, with the “-” key.

In automatic preheating mode, the display for the burner concerned will alternately show the actual setting ("6") and the symbol "A".

Example: Select level 9 to enable automatic preheating with the “+” key. Then bring the level down to 6 using the “-” key. In this way, the burner will be preheated on full power for 2'30", while the display alternately reads “A” and “6”. After 2'30" the burner will return to the power level 6.

Level	Time	limit
2.	48"
2	2'24"
3	3'48"
4	5'12"
5	6'48"
6	2'00"
7	2'48"
8	3'36"
9	12"

Changing the power level in the automatic preheating phase

1. The burner involved must be on. The decimal point (6) for the corresponding burner must also be on.
2. Change the level by means of the "+" and "-" keys.

If the setting is raised, the new preheating time is recalculated taking the time that has already elapsed for the previous setting into account.

Example: Level 1 is selected, corresponding to a preheating time of 1'.

Thirty seconds later, the setting is raised to 4. On this level, the preheating time is 6'30".

Following this change in setting, the automatic preheating time will last a further 6' (resulting from the subtraction 6'30" - 30").

Disabling the automatic preheating function

With the symbol "A" showing on the burner display:

The burner concerned must be on.

The decimal point (6) for the burner concerned must also be on.

Touch the “-” key (4) at least 10 seconds after enabling the function.

9. System temperature control (induction)

A temperature sensor situated inside the cooktop's cooling unit constantly measures the temperature of the generator's electronic circuits.

In the event of these circuits overheating (t=105°C), the system reduces the power of the cooking zone.

If the temperature rises above 120°C, the cooking zone will be switched OFF automatically and the corresponding display shows the failure code “E - 2”.

The overheating of the circuits definitely indicates an anomaly and means that the cooktop has not been installed properly, or the openings for air circulation are not large enough.

10. Burner temperature control (induction)

A temperature sensor is situated in the middle of each burner, in contact with the glass. If the safe temperature limit is exceeded, the system reacts as follows:

T=235°C: It reduces the power of the zone.

T=255°C: It turns the burner off.

Burner overheating may be due, for instance, to the presence of an empty saucepan.

The temperature protection for pots and pans depends on the planarity of the pot. In case of an exceeded air gap in the centre of the cooking zone, the temperature protection (empty boiling pot, oil flaming) is affected.

11. Configuration of the cooking zone

• The cooktop is provided with the right configuration for each cooking zone. However, it could happen that if one of the cooking zone displays shows the failure code “E - 4”, a new configuration would be necessary.
• Prior to introduction of the configuration, all pots and pans must be removed from the cooking zone and a pan suitable for induction should be available.
• Within 2 minutes after voltage application, the configuration can be initiated. The Touch control remains switched off.
• All displays remain turned off.
• Press the minus key (4) and hold it.
• Press all the selection keys (2) available, starting anti-clockwise with the cooking zone front right. Every action is acknowledged by a signal tone.
• The cooking zone displays (3) indicate a “C” for non-configured cooking zones and “-” for configured ones.
• The cooking zone to be configured can be selected via the cooking zone select key. The symbol “C” starts flashing on the corresponding display when carried out.
• Now a pan must be placed on the relevant cooking zone within 20 sec to enable the electronic to detect the correct position. If the position is detected correctly, the display indicates “-”. This procedure is applied to every cooking zone until the configuration menu is ended automatically after the last cooking zone has been configured. The configuration menu can also be ended by pressing the power key. If no key is pressed, the menu ends within 2 min.
• Ready configured cooking zones cannot be configured again in case an error has occurred, e.g. if the pan had been placed on the wrong cooking zone, the entire configuration can be cancelled. This requires pressing the minus key for at least 2 sec, which results in the symbol "E" to appear on all cooking zone displays. The “E” on the cooking zone displays continues flashing until all the cooking zones have restored the initial state and changes into "C" right afterwards. The cooking zones may now be configured anew.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

A few cooking tips

Use only saucepans and frying pans with a sturdy, preferably thick bottom. This is particularly important when preparing food requiring high cooking temperatures, such as fried foods. If the bottom of the pan is not perfectly flat, the food takes longer to cook and uses up more energy. The best heat transfer is obtained when the saucepan and burner are the same size.

You can also use Pyrex and porcelain pans on the burners, providing the bottom of the pan is smooth. Refer to the instructions of the pan manufacturer on this point.

Any spillages from the pans should be wiped away immediately.

Important notes

Warning: the burner surface becomes red hot when in use, so it is always advisable to keep children well away from the cook top.

Avoid dropping any hard object on the cook top surface. In some conditions, the material is sensitive to mechanical loading. The shock of a sharp or pointed object can damage the cooking surface. In the event of any breakage, cracking or other damage being accidentally caused to the ceramic top, it is essential to stop using the cook top immediately and contact customer care.

Ceramic glass cook tops must never be used as a work surface or to prepare food wrapped in aluminium foil or packaged in plastic. Never use the burner without a saucepan on it. Never place flammable, explosive or deformable objects in the vicinity of the cook top.

Fats and oils can catch fire if they are overheated: that is why foods requiring the use of fat or oil, e.g. French fries, must always be supervised while they are cooking.

Moreover, it is essential to make sure that the power cords and plugs of any other domestic appliances attached to sockets near the cook top can never come into contact with the hot cook top surfaces.

No part of the power supply cable must reach an ambient temperature which is over 50° C.

If damaged, the cable must be replaced with one supplied by the technical assistance service.

WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

If the glass surface breaks, unplug the device from the mains supply in order to avoid getting an electric shock.

The cook top must never be cleaned with steam or other such cleaning devices.

It is essential to clean the cook top - once it has cooled down - every time it has been used. Even the smallest food scraps would burn the next time it is used. Use only the recommended detergents. Wire wool, abrasive pads and powders will cause scratching. Oven-cleaning products are unsuitable because they are corrosive.

Mild soiling can be removed with the aid of a damp cloth or with hot soda. Any traces of detergent must be removed with cold water and the surfaces must then be accurately dried. Any signs of water that cannot be removed with boiling water can be eliminated with vinegar and lemon juice, or with a scale-remover fluid. If any of these detergents comes into contact with the cook top frame, it must be cleaned off immediately with a wet cloth, to avoid damaging the seal.

Any tenacious dirt can easily be removed with the aid of a glass scraper. The scraper handle must not be made of plastic because it could become stuck to the hot surfaces. Pay attention while using the scraper: it can cause injury.

Sugar and foods containing caramelized sugar must be removed immediately from the hot burner.
