TOUCH CONTROL HEATING ELEMENTS Touch sensitive keys

All operations can be performed using touch sensitive keys

(capacitive sensors) located on the front of the control

board; each key has a corresponding display. All actions are

confirmed by an audible signal.

TOUCH CONTROL B (Fig. 2)

8 Zone selection lights

9 Timer indicator light

Switching the Touch Control ON/OFF After mains voltage is applied the control initializes for

approx. 1 second before it is ready for operation. After a

reset all displays and LEDs glow for approx. 1 second. When

this time is over all displays and LEDs extinguish and the

control is in the stand-by mode.

By operating the ON/OFF key the control can be turned into

the ON-mode. The cooking zone displays show a static “0“.

If a cooking zone is in the “hot“ status, the display shows a

static “H“ instead of “0“. The bottom right dot is blinking in

1 second intervals on all cooking zone displays to indicate

that no cooking zone is selected at the moment.

After switching-ON the electronic control remains activated

for 20 seconds. If no cooking zone or timer selection follows

within this period of time, the electronic control

automatically switches back into the stand-by-mode.

The control can only be switched-ON if it identifies the

ON/OFF key alone being operated. Should it recognize key

activation other than that, the control remains in the

If the child safety feature is active when switching on, all

cooking zones show “L“, (LOCKED). (also refer to 1.11). If

the cooking zones are in a “hot“ status, the display shows

“L“ and “H“ in alternation. When the Touch Control is ON it

OFF at any time by operating the ON/OFF key. This is also

valid if the control has been locked (activated child safety

The ON/OFF key has always priority in the switch-OFF

Automatic switch-OFF When the control is ON it automatically switches-OFF after

20 seconds if no cooking zone or select key has been

operated within this period of time. If case of a cooking zone

selection, the automatic switch- OFF time is composed of 10

seconds deselection time for a cooking zone at setting“0“

and 10 seconds switch-OFF time.

Switching a cooking zone ON and OFF If the control is ON the respective cooking zone can be

selected by operating a cooking-zone-select-key (= PLUS-

key of the respective cooking zone). There is a static dot

indication in the respective display. If the cooking zone is

“hot “0” is displayed instead of “H” . On all other cooking

zone displays 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

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

If the selected cooking zone will be switched ON by means

of the MINUS key, 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

Switching OFF an individual cooking zone

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

Switching-OFF all cooking zonesImmediate switching-OFF of all cooking zones can be

achieved anytime by means of the ON/OFF key. In the

standby- mode an “H“ appears on all cooking zones which

are “hot“. All other cooking zone displays are not

The output of the cooking zones can be set in 9 steps which

are indicated by the figures “1“ thru “9“ by means of LED

sevensegment-displays.

Automatic heat-up function (selectable)

When the automatic heat-up function is activated the

wattage of the cooking zone is at 100 % ED for a certain

heat-up time which is dependent on the selected

(continuous) setting. At the end of the heat-up time the

electronic control switches back to the preselected

Starting process of the automatic heat-up:

- Control is ON and a cooking zone will be selected

- The automatic heat-up will be activated by operating the

PLUS-key for a second time.

- The requested continuous setting will be selected with the

PLUS- and MINUS-key, the chosen setting appears in the

- 3 seconds after the last key operation (selection of the

setting) and within 16 seconds after activation of the heat-up

function, the symbol “A“ (which stands for the heat-up

boost) appears on the display, in alternation with the chosen

- If a lower setting will be selected with the MINUS-key after

the “A” has appeared in the display, the automatic heat-up

function will be interrupted.

- By means of the PLUS-key a higher continuous setting can

be chosen, here the duration of the heat-up boost will be

automatically adapted to the actual selected setting.

- When the heat-up time is over, the selected (continuous)

setting will be indicated on the display.

Residual heat indicator

It is meant to indicate to the user that the glass ceramic has

a dangerous touch temperature in the circumference of a

cooking zone. The temperature will be determined following

a mathematical model and the remaining residual heat will

be indicated by means of “H” on the corresponding 7-

segmentdisplay. Heating-up and cooling down will be

calculated dependent on

· the selected setting („0“ to „9“)

After switching-OFF the cooking zone the respective display

shows “H” until the assigned cooking zone temperature is

mathematically in a uncritical level. (≤ 60°C).

Automatic power OFF function (operating time limitation)

Dependent on the selected setting, every cooking zone will

be switched-OFF after a defined maximum operation time if

no operation of the assigned cooking zone follows within

this time period. Every change of the cooking zone condition

(by means of the PLUS-, MINUS- or BOOSTER key) puts

back the maximum operation time of this cooking zone to

the initial value of the operating time limitation.

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

· 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-

· 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 continous operation will not be

signalized. However, before the electronic control can be

switched-ON again, it has to recognize that all keys are not

Key lock (child safety feature)

◊ Child safety feature:

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 and the

MINUS-key and then press the front right cooking-zone-

select key again. 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 cook top 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

simultaneously. “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

Cancelling the key lock:

After switching-ON the control the child safety feature can be

deactivated. Here it is necessary to simultaneously operate

the front right cooking-zone-select key and the MINUS-key

and then operate the MINUS-key alone. 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 renewedswitching-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“.

Multi-circuit cut-off

Depending on the design it is possible to operate dual- or

triple-circuit radiant heating elements with the LITE-Touch

When a multi-circuit heating element is put into operation,

all heating circuits are switched-ON at the same time. If only

the inner heating circuits should be used, the outer heating

circuit can be switched-OFF by means of the multi-circuit

key or in individual steps.

By operating the multi-circuit key the respective outer circuit

of the assigned active cooking zone (setting π „0“) can be

cutoff anytime. An activated outer circuit will be indicated by

an additional LED. A renewed operation of the multi-circuit

key will add the outer circuit(s) at any time, the assigned

LED´s glow again (toggle-function)

If a cooking zone other than the one with multi-circuit

function will be selected, the multicircuit status will be

changed and all cooking zones will be deselected (the

decimal point extinguishes).

Behaviour of dual-circuit cut-OFF:

If the heating element to be controlled is a triple-circuit

heating element, the course of action is as follows:

· The first activation of the multi-circuit key cuts-off the outer

heating circuit and the top LED extinguishes.

· A second activation of the multi-circuit-key cuts-off the

middle heating circuit. (also the bottom LED extinguishes.)

· A third activation adds the middle heating circuit again. A

further activation adds the third heating circuit as well and

the assigned LEDs glow again.

Audible signal (buzzer)

While the control is in operation the following activities will

be signaled by means of a buzzer:

· normal key activation with a short sound signal.

· continuous operation of keys over a longer period of time

(_10 seconds ) with a longer, intermittent sound signal.

Timer function (optional)

The timer function is realized in two versions:

· Stand-alone timer 1..99 min: sound signal when the time is

over (= minute minder). This function is only available when

the cooktop is not in operation, i.e. when there is no

· Cooking zone timer 1..99 min: sound signal when the time

is over, four cooking zones can be programmed

Timer as minute minder (stand-alone):

· If the control is OFF the standalone- timer can be operated

by activating the timer key. The timer display shows “00”.

Operation of the Power-key puts the control back into the

stand-by mode and the stand-alone-timer will be cut-off.

· Adjustment range (0-99min), it can be set in 1-minute

steps with any key, starting at 1 up to 99 (end stop) with the

minus-key starting at 99 down to 0 (end stop)

· Continuous activation of the plusor minus-key results in a

dynamic increase of the adjustment speed up to maximum

value without sound signal.

· when the plus- or minus key is released in the meantime,

the adjustment speed starts again from a (low) initial value.

· adjustment can be made with a continously activated plus-

or minus-key or by tip-operation (with sound signal) After

the timer is set the time runs down according to the

adjustment. When the time is over there is a sound signal

and the timer display blinks.

The sound signal will be stopped

· automatically after 2 minutes and/or

· by operating any key. Then the blinking of the timer display

stops and the display extinguishes.

Switching-OFF/changing the timer

· The timer can be changed or switched-off anytime by

operating the TIMER- or MINUS key (with sound signal). The

timer will be switched off by counting down to “0” with the

minus-key or by operating the TIMER- and MINUS-key

together, which sets the timer directly to “0”. For 6 seconds

the timer display remains at “0“ before it will be switched-

· If the control will be switched- ON by means of the Power-

key, the stand-alone timer will be switched-off also.

Timer programming on cooking zones

When the control is switched- ON an independent timer can

be programmed for every cooking zone.

· By selecting a cooking zone with the cooking-zone-

selectkey, then selecting the setting and finally activating the

timerselect- key, the timer can be programmed as a switch-

off function for a cooking zone. Around the timer four LEDs

are arranged. These indicate for which cooking zone the

timer has been activated.

· As soon as the timer has been selected, the assigned timer-

LED blinks and the dot in the timer display glows. If a

cooking-zone-select-key will be operated, the dot in the

timer displays extinguishes and the LED does not blink any

· When switching-over from one cooking zone to another,

the timer display always shows the present timer value of

the respective cooking zone. However, the programmed

timers of other cooking zones remain active.

· The further setting behaviour corresponds to the

STANDALONE- TIMER. For increasing the adjusted time, the

PLUS-key of the respective cooking zone has to be used.

· When the timer has run down, there is a sound signal and

the timer display shows “00“ statically, the assigned cooking

zone timer LED blinks. The programmed cooking zone will

be cut off and „H“ will be displayed if the coking zone is hot,

otherwise a stroke will show in the cooking zone display.

The sound signal and the blinking of the timer LED will be

· automatically after 2 minutes

· by operating any key.

The timer display extinguishes.

· The basic behavior follows the description of the “minute

minder” (stand-alone-timer).
