A Word on Induction Cooking (F1)

• a1 Cookware
  • a2 Induced current
• a3 Magnetic field
• a4 Inductor
  • a5 Electronic circuit
  • a6 Electric power supply

Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology. It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the cookware, rather than indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because the cookware eventually warms it up.

Induction cooking has the following characteristics:

• Minimal dispersion (high performance)
• Removing (or lifting) the cookware from the hob automatically stops the cooking zone.
• The electronic system permits flexibility and precision control.

Installation

All operations relative to installation (electric connection) should be carried out by skilled personnel in conformity with the rules in force. As for the specific instructions see part pertaining to installer.

Switching the Touch Control ON/OFF

After mains voltage is applied the control initializes for approx. 2 seconds 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.

Press the ON/OFF (1) button to switch the touch control on. An acoustic signal will be emitted. Then, the hob is ready to be used.

If a cooking zone is in the "hot" status, the display (10) shows a static "H". 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 (1) alone being operated. Should it recognize key activation other than that, the control remains in the standby-mode.

If the child safety feature is active when switching on, all cooking zones show "L", (LOCKED). If the cooking zones are in a "hot" status, the display shows "L" and "H" in alternation. When the Touch Control is ON it can be switched-OFF at any time by operating the ON/OFF key (1). An acoustic signal will be emitted, and the hob will go in to standby mode. This is also valid if the control has been locked (activated child safety feature). The ON/OFF key has always priority in the switch-OFF function (1).

Functionality Slider TC

The touch control comprises touch displays that light up according to the following criteria:

• The keys of the functions available light up with low intensity.
• The key selected lights up with a higher intensity.
• The keys for functions that are not available remain unlit.

Slider (2): sensor technology of Slider TC allows 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 accordant value. Moreover, a direct selection of the designated value is also possible on the slider area.

Nsense: Automatic cookware detection

Place a suitable piece of cookware on the hob.

The control automatically detects the presence / absence of a pan in every cooking zone. If a pan is detected, display (10) of the corresponding zone will constantly read "0" until the required power level is selected. Select the power level by sliding your finger over the control (2).

If the touch control is switched on, the cooking zone can be selected by pressing the button (10) of the corresponding zone.

If you lift the cookware, the display (10) will show the symbol for 40 minutes. If you do not put the cookware back after this time, the control will switch off.

If you place a piece of cookware that is too small or made of unsuitable material, the slider (2) and the display (10) will not be activated.

Power management

This function is designed to avoid overloading the system with excessive power demand. If high outputs have been selected for two pieces of cookware placed close to one another, the output of the piece of cookware that was placed first will automatically be reduced if necessary. The designated display (5) will flash for 3 seconds before switching to a lower power. During these 3 seconds you can select a lower power for the other piece of cookware if you wish. Otherwise, the power supply for the first piece of cookware will automatically be reduced.

Nheat: Residual heat indicator

This safety function serves to identify areas of the glass that have a temperature above 60^ C, which could cause burns if touched.

The display (10) designated to the hot area displays the letter "H" whether the hob is switched on or off. If cooking is in progress, then the display (10) designated to the cookware will only show the selected power level.

Nboost: Booster function

The Booster function allows the power supplied to the cookware to be increased above its nominal value for 5 minutes. Once this time has passed, the power will automatically decrease to level 9. This function is designed to heat or boil large amounts of water in a short time.

Due to its high power, the Booster function should only be used when cooking with water. Oil or fat could cause burns.

If the touch control is switched on, the cooking zone can be selected by pressing the button (10) of the corresponding zone.

To cancel this function, press key (3) for at least 1 second. The pause icon will flash. Then, press any other key within 10 seconds, otherwise the hob will switch off. All cooking processes will be resumed at the same point they were when the pause function was activated. The cookware will be reheated to the same power level and the timers will be reactivated. Only the Nboost and Nfastup functions are cancelled after the pause.

Nlimit: Operating time limitation (F8)

This safety function turns the heat off if an unusually long period of time has passed since the control was last used. This time (L) depends on the selected power level (P).

See values in the F8 chart, where:

P is the selected power level.

L is the maximum operating time, in hours.

Each new action on the control of the cookware restarts the countdown to this time limit.

Nkey: Protects from continuous key pressing

This safety function is intended to protect the hob from prolonged and unintentional key pressing. Pressing any key for more than 10 seconds will activate the error message "Er03" on the display (10) and turn off the control.

When the key is no longer being pressed, this error message will disappear, and the control can be turned on again.

Note: Liquid spilled on the control area will not always activate this function.

Ntime: Timer for cookware

This function allows you to automatically programme the end of the cooking time for a piece of cookware. Each piece of cookware has its own stand-alone timer. Several timers for several pieces of cookware can be running at once. You can select the time you require within a range of 1 to 1h 59 minutes. The remaining time is shown on the display (7) that shows the lowest timer value.

To activate this function, the cookware must be in use (power > 0). Press the display (10) designated to the piece of cookware. Timer value can be set in 1-minute steps with plus-key (9) or minus-key (8). In each case, the value will automatically be set 5 seconds after the last time it was touched. For each piece of cookware with an active timer, the symbol (11) lights up above the display (10).

When switching-over from one cooking zone (10) to another, the timer display (7) always shows the present timer value of the respective cooking zone and the corresponding display (11) flashes. However, the programmed timers of other cooking zones remain active.

If the timer is set to 0, then it will be cancelled without interrupting the cooking process.

When the timer reaches its last 10 minutes, the remaining seconds are shown on the display (7).

When the timer ends, the related cooking process is stopped, the display (7) flashes 0.00 and an acoustic signal is emitted. The end of the timer will be confirmed, and the acoustic signal can be stopped by pressing any key, or after 2 minutes.

Stopping a piece of cookware's cooking process will also cancel the designated timer.

Nwarn: Reminder

This function allows you to set a reminder that will sound at the end of the time set. This does not impact any cooking processes that are underway, it is only an acoustic signal. You can select the time you require within a range of 1 minute to 9h 59min.

To activate this function, press the on/off key (1) within 6 seconds of turning the hob off. The pause key (3) will start flashing. Press it and all settings prior to shut down will be restored.

Cookware

Size of the cookware

· Round cookware: Preferably, the diameter of the base should be between 110mm and 220mm.

Choosing the right cookware (F3)

-Preferably use cookware indicated as being suitable for induction cooking.

-A magnet-attracting cookware may be suitable for induction cooking.

-Stainless steel cookware with multi-layer or ferritic stainless-steel bases if the base indicates: for induction cooking.

-If cast iron cookware is used, it should preferably have an enamel bottom to avoid scratching the ceramic hob surface.

-The following types of cookware are not suitable: glass, ceramic, earthenware, aluminium, copper or non-magnetic (austenitic) stainless steel.

-Flat and thick-bottomed cookware.

-A cookware with the same diameter as the cooking zone ensures the maximum power is used.

-A smaller cookware reduces the power but will not lead to energy loss. In any case, we do not recommend the use of cookware with a diameter of less than 11 cm.

-The cookware bottom must have a minimum diameter according to the corresponding cooking zone.

-To obtain the best efficiency of your hob, please place the cookware in the centre of the cooking zone.

-The quality of the cookware plays a major role in the cooking efficiency.

-Induction cooking can cause some noises, for example, screeching, whistling and buzzing. The cookware can also have a significant impact on the noise level. Should any disturbing noises occur, please consider these suggestions:

- Change the position of the cookware slightly.

• Make sure that there are no foreign bodies between the ceramic hob and the bottom of the cookware (grains of salt, for example).
• Make sure that the lids of the cookware cannot vibrate.
• Try using other cookware. Cookware with a composite base is more likely to cause noise.
