Operating Principle (Fig. 1)

It exploits the electromagnetic properties of most cooking

The coil (inductor) which produces the electromagnetic field is

operated and controlled by the electronic circuit.

The heat is transmitted to food by the cooking vessel itself.

The cooking process takes place as described below.

- loss of heat is minimum (high efficiency)

- the system stops automatically when the vessel is removed or

even just lifted from the hob

- the electronic circuit guarantees maximum flexibility and fine

Functionality Slider TC:

Slider: sensor technology of the novel Slider TC allows as well

an adjustment of the cooking levels (1 – 9) as the timer value (1-

99) by touching and pulling the finger over the designated area.

Pulling to the right is increasing and to the left is decreasing

Moreover a direct selection of the designated value is also

possible on the slider area.

ON/OFF Touch Control

After connecting to the mains the TC unit takes 1 second to

prepare for operation. After a reset all displays and LEDs flashes

up for 1 second. After 1 second all displays and LEDs are

The TC unit may now be switched ON by pressing the ON/OFF

key “1”. Displays show a steady “0“. Possible optic warnings for

hot cooking zones [H] are displayed in alternation with [0] and

the synchronously display dot. The display dots on the cook top

displays flashes up every second (0.5 sec.off, 0.5 sec. on).

Electronics remains activated for 20 seconds. If there is no

cooking level or timer selection done in this period the

electronics automatically resets to the Off-mode by releasing a

The TC may only be switched on by pressing the power key as

sole input In case of an other key is pressed (single or in parallel

with the power key), the control unit is not switched on.

In case of an active “Child Lock Function” when switching

POWER ON, all cooking zone displays show “L” for LOCKED .

Possible optic warnings for hot cooking zones [H] are displayed

in alternation with [L] (H-ON= 0.5 sec; L-ON = 1.5sec).

By pressing the ON/OFF key “1” of the control unit in ON-Mode,

the Touch Control may be switched off at any time. This is also

applicable for locked control units (active child lock). The

ON/OFF key takes always priority with the POWER-OFF function.

Automatic Switch Off

The TC switches from Power ON to OFF after 20 sec., provided

that no cooking zone is activated or a select key is pressed

In case of a selected cooking zone (with cooking stage is “0“)

this Auto Power off time is composed of a 10 sec deselection

time and 10 sec Power off time.

In case of On-state of the TC a cooking zone may be selected by

touching the dedicated display (Select-Sensors “8”). The

respective display changes to a steady display dot and “0“

instead of “H“ – in case of a hot cooking zone-. On all other

cooking zone displays the dot expires.

That followed a cooking level may be set by using the Slider

area. Thus switches the respective cooking zone on. End stops

are „9“ (right side) and „0“ (left side).

First place the pan in the chosen cooking zone. If the pan is not

present the system cannot be switched on the correspondent

zone.Switching Off a single cooking zone:

A single cooking zone may be switched off by selecting and

setting cooking level to [0]. In case of an optic warning for hot

cooking zones [H] this is displayed in alternation with [0] and the

synchronously display dot.

After the TC is switched Off the display remains black

respectively [H] is displayed for an optic warning for hot cooking

Switching Off all cooking zones:

Immediately switching off all cooking zones is always possible

by using the ON/OFF key.[H] possibly appears on all hot cooking

zones . All other cooking zone displays remain black.

The power of the cooking zone is adjustable in 9 different

stages; the respective stage is displayed ([1“] to [9]) via LED-

seven-segment-displays.

In the cooking zone located on the front left, when selecting

the power level 9 and after 30 minutes operating,

the power will decrease slightly for safety reasons. In case

more power is required, select the boost level ("P")

Automatic Parboiling (selectable)

When Automatic parboiling is activated, the power of the

cooking zone is switched to 100 % for a period of time

depending on the selected onboiling stage. As soon as the

parboiling time is over, the preselected onboiling stage is valid

Procedure to start Automatic parboiling:

The control unit is switched on and a cooking zone is selected.

After setting cooking stage “9“ Automatic parboiling is activated

by pressing at the right slider sensor. “A” appears on the display

Now the required onboiling stage is selected via Slider area .

The “A” symbol appears after 3 sec upon releasing the key -

alternating with the onboiling stage (500 msec „A“ and 1.5 sec

The onboiling stage may be changed within 15 sec after

activation without switching off the parboiling boost. Therefore,

the cooking zone is to be selected and the relevant cooking zone

is to be set afterwards.

In case of a selection after 15 sec a lower cooking stage may be

set; automatic onbboiling is switsched of.

a higher onboiling stage may be selected; this leads to the

parboiling time being automatically brought in line with the

currently selected onboiling stage

After selection of a respective cooking zone, the power function

can be selected directly via the power function key “3”. By

means of this function certain cooking zones are enabled to

receive power over the nominal. If the desired cooking zone has

the capacity to activate the booster, the display shows a “P“

symbol. The boosting time is limited to 5 min to protect cooking

utensils. After the booster is switched off automatically, the

cooking zone continues operation on power level “9”. The

booster can be reactivated after some minutes.

In case that the pan is removed from the cooking zone during boosting,

the boosting function remains active and boosting time continues.

The determination of how long a cooking zone has residual heat

after operation and switch off – which may lead to burnings

when contacting – is calculated.

Status is calculated depending on:

Selected power stage („0“ bis „9“)

On/Off Time of the Relays

The residual heat indication of each cooking zone remains

activated until the calculated temperature is smaller than + 60 °C.

Automatic Switch-off (Operating Time Limitation)

For each activated cooking zone a max. operating time is

defined. The max. operating time is depending on the selected

cooking stage. After the expiration of the max. operating time

the cooking zone is automatically switched off.

Each actuation of the cooking zone status (changing the cooking

level etc.) resets the count-down timer to the initial starting

Timer settings takes priority vs. operating time limitations for

high cooking stage setting.

Protection against unintentional activation

The electronic system cuts off automatically in case of an

identified permanent use of keys for about 10 seconds. The

control unit releases an audible signal for 10 sec of the

malfunction (period: 1000 msec, 500 msec ON) and the error

code “E R 0 3” flashes on the display (0.5 s ON 0.5s OFF). If the

permanant actuation exceeds 10sec, alone the error code “ER

03“ keeps flashing as long as the malfunction occurs and is

identified as such. In case the cooking zone is at stage “hot“ the

[H] symbol alternates with the error code (0.5 sec Symbol 0.5

Water sprinkled on the glass surface does not always lead to a

key actuation and cannot be surely detected. ( After wiping the

glass covering the keys, all keys are ready for operation in no

If no cooking zone is activated within 20 sec after pressing

POWER ON, the control unit is reset to Off-mode (black displays).

The actuation of the key lock key “4” in the wait or active mode

locks the keyboard and the assigned key-lock LED “7” is

statically illuminated. Here, the actuation times of the key-lock

key have to be taken into account. The control continues to work

in the set mode, but may no longer be operated with any key,

except the key-lock key itself or the on/off key “1”.The switching OFF with the on/off key “1” is also possible in the

locked condition. The assigned key-lock LED “7” fades when

switching off the control The key-lock function included LED is

active again when switching on (in wait mode 10 s) until this is

deactivated by a repeated actuation of the key-lock key. The

activation/deactivation of the key-lock function in the off mode is

When programmed timers expire the respective timer alarms

may be confirmed by actuating any key without needing to

The repeated actuation of the key-lock key in the wait or active

mode unlocks the keyboard and the assigned key-lock LED

fades. All sensor keys may be operated as usual again.

Acoustic Feedback (Buzzer)

The following activities occurring during operation of the TC unit

are fed back audibly via a buzzer:

Short single tone for regular actuation of a key

Longer, intermittent tone for permanent use of keys over a

longer period of time (≥ 10 sec)

Timer-function (optional)

The timer function is available in two types:

-Stand-alone-timer 1..99 min: Audible signal with timing. This

function can only be activated as long as no cooking zone is in

operation (all stages = 0). Is any cooking zone started with

operation (level >0) than the stand alone timer keeps in

operation. If the timer shall be used to cut off a cooking zone

(see cooking zone timer) then the control must first be switched

off (power sensor) and switched on again.

-Cooking zone timer 1..99 min: This function can only be

activated as long as a cooking is active (stage < 0; display dot).

Audible signal with timing, four cooking zones to be cut off are

freely programmable.

Setting a timer value:

By adjustment with the slider area.

Primarily the adjustment of the first digit takes place and

thereafter the adjustment of the second digit.

Within 10sec after the adjustment of the second digit the value

might be reset. (Illuminated display dot in the timer display and

in case of a cooking zone specific timer a blinking assigned

In case of an active timer display the timer value may be set to

[0] directly by pressing [0] on the slider area (left side)

Switching of an active timer:

A timer can be switched of by setting its value to 0.

A stand alone timer can be switched of by a double actuation of

If the control unit is switched on (all cooking zone displays show

[0]), the stand-alone timer may be activated by pressing the

timer select key. The timer display show “00“. The decimal dot

on the timer display flashes. The timer is cut off after 10 sec

(black display) if no further settings are made. In case of a timer

value is set with no activation of a cooking zone within 10sec,

the cooking zone displays are cut off (interposing relays are also

cut off). Possible optic warnings for hot cooking zones [H] are

displayed permanently

As long as the timer is selected (display dot flashes for 10 sec) it

can be set. The setting range is 0 -99 minutes in single steps;

Directly after the timer value is set countdown starts with the

last set value. The timer is deselected automatically after 10 sec

and the timer display indicates the timer value. After expiring of

the set time an acoustic signal is given and the timer display

Thereafter timer display stops blinking and extinguishes.

Possible optic warnings for hot cooking zones [H] are displayed

By pressing the ON/OFF key “1”, the control unit may be

switched from „purely timer operation“ to cooking zone at

any time -with or without an activated Stand-Alone timer -.

Switching back to TC active mode with an active

Stand-Alone timer the timer is selected first (decimal dot on

timer display flashes). After a cooking zone is

selected, the decimal dot disappears from the timer display and

a steady decimal dot on the cooking zone

display flashes on. When switching off the control unit by

ON/OFF key “1”, the Stand-Alone timer – if still in

operation -is also switched off.

Cooking zone specific timer programming

Switching on the TC enables timer setting for dedicated cooking

By actuating a cooking zone (cooking zone stage > 0) followed

by selecting the timer display (within 10 sec) a timer value may

be assigned to the cooking zone as a cut-off function. The LED

around the timer “9” indicates which cooking zone the timer

had been activated for.

As soon as the timer is selected the according LED is blinking

and the dot in the timer display is flashing permanently. In case

of a cooking zone is selected thereafter, the dot extinguishes

and the LED stops blinking.

When switching from one cooking zone to another, the timer

display indicates the current timer value of the respective

cooking zone. Timer settings of other cooking zones stay active.

Further setting is like with the stand-alone timer

In case of more than one active timer the display indicates the

lowest timer value (after 10s deselection time).

After expiring of the set time an acoustic signal is given and the

timer display flashes „00“. The related timer LED is blinking

synchronously. The programmed cooking zone is cut-off, a

permanent “0” is displayed and the cooking zone is selected

automatically. After 10 sec (deselection time) a permanent “H“
