Use Proper Pan Size

- This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.

Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings

- Boil over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place

- Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

Protective Liners

- Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.

Glazed Cooking Utensils

- Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units

- To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements

- Heating elements should never be immersed in water.

Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top

- If cook-top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

Clean Cook-Top With Caution

- If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

PERSONAL SAFETY

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury to persons, in the event of a grease fire, observe the following:

• Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully.
• Do not use water on grease fires.
• Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother sheet or flat tray.
• Flaming grease outside of utensil can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam type extinguisher.
• Let fat cool before attempting to handle it.
• Wipe up spill over immediately.
• If you are "flaming" liquors or other spirits under an exhaust, turn the fan off. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of control.
• Never leave the surface area unattended at high heat setting. Boil over cause smoking and greasy spill over, which may ignite.

CAUTION

Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot Surface. Do not allow pans to boil dry.

• Be careful to prevent burns. If the flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and call the fire department.
• Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
• Leave the hood ventilator on when flambéing food only if there is smoke without flames.

Use an extinguisher only if

• You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
• The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
  • The fire department is being called.
• You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
• Never use water on cooking fires.
• In the event that personal clothing catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

Element and Control Setting

Radiant Elements

This kind of electric heating elements use a ribbon wire located under the glass surface to provide the heat for cooking. The heating elements will cycle on and off, depending on the power level set and displayed by the control.

Temperature limiters

Each radiant heater has its own temperature limiter to protect the glass cooking surface from extremely high temperatures. The limiter will operate automatically by cycling the element.

Multiple Radiant Elements

Multiple heating elements (dual or triple) consist in two or three radiant ribbon elements within the same heating area. Either the small (main inner element) or the outer ones may be selected for use. The inner elements always work when an outer one is selected.

Bridge Radiant Element

A special multiple heating element consist in two independent radiant ribbon elements which can be connected enabling a bridge element in order to have a large heating area.

When the bridge is enabled, the whole area work as a single unit, it's not possible anymore to set different power levels on the three elements connected.

Setting Recommended Use

All the settings described in the following table are recommended, provided that the element has not been preheated before. The values in the table represent indicative settings, given that the actual values may depend on:

• Type and quality of the pan.
• Type, quantity and temperature of the food.
• Element used and individual preferences.

CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

WARNING

This touch control works using optical light sensing technology. When first connecting electrically or after a power failure, any direct strong light over the sensor area may affect the touch control functionality. When powering on the unit make sure that no strong light is shining direct over the touch control zone, it can compromise the start-up sensor calibration resulting in an unresponsive touch control.

When the cooktop is connected to the electrical voltage supply all lights and digits turn on to indicate a proper activation. This operation will be completed after few seconds, the control turns off automatically. Now the cooktop is ready for operations.

Switching the control on

Eventually hold the [LOCK] key in case the commands are locked (see that the lock led is on and turns off after a few seconds).

Touch the main [ON/OFF] key in order to make each single zone available for selection.

All the displays show power level "0", if no actions are performed the control shuts down again after about 10 seconds.

Elements setting

Touch the proper [ON] key (ref.2) in order to select the desired zone: the HOT SURFACE (ref.3) indication starts flashing, waiting for a user input.

Figure. 6

Touch the slide bar to set the power level (levels 0 to 9 are available), moving the finger along it or directly touching the desired value. If your cooktop model has no slide bar.

The display (ref.4) and the "Peacock Tail" (ref.6) show the power level, updated in real time.

After a 5 seconds time-out the value is accepted, the HOT SURFACE led (ref.3) stops flashing and gets steady. The "Peacock Tail" disappears after some seconds more.

Touch [ON] key to confirm the value before the time-out expires.

The following picture represents the Full Power Scale whereas the control uses all the available power range, from 0% up to the 100% corresponding to level 9.

Level 4 corresponds to 15% of the available power.

Figure. 7

Using the Low Power Scale

Once a cooking zone has been selected, touch the [LOW TEMP] key (ref.8) in order to enable the Low Power Scale (ref.9) then set the power level in the usual way.

9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 LOW POWER 8 POWER

Figure. 8

The control uses only the 15% of the available power, divided in 0 to 9 steps with a better accuracy.

Keep in mind that power level 9 in this special mode correspond exactly to level 4 in the standard range.

Select the zone and touch the [LOW TEMP] key again in order to disable the Low Power Scale and restore the standard one, without switching off the zone.

Pay attention: the level remains the same but the power increases.

Switching off a cooking zone as described below disables the Low Power mode. When the zone will be selected again it will start to work in the standard power mode.

Switching an element off

Touch the related [OFF] key (ref.1) in order to stop a heating element.

You may turn off all active elements at the same time by touching the main [ON/OFF] key.

Dual element activation

Select a double heating area touching the related [ON] key, the HOT SURFACE led (ref.3) begins to flash.

Touch the [DOUBLE] key in order to enable/disable the outer ring of a double zone. This operation is possible while the HOT SURFACE led (ref.3) is flashing.

The dual element enabling indication (ref.5a) is on when the element is enabled, is off when the element is disabled.

Triple element activation

Select a multiple heating area touching the related [ON] key, the HOT SURFACE led (ref.3) begins to flash.

Touch the [TRIPLE] key in order to enable/disable the outer rings of a triple zone:

• If only the inner element is enabled, the intermediate ring is enabled too.
• If the inner and the intermediate elements are enabled, the outer ring is enabled too.
• If all the elements are enabled, the outer and the intermediate rings are disabled.

These operations are possible until the HOT SURFACE led (ref.3) is still flashing.

The intermediate element enabling indication (ref.5a) is on when the double element is enabled, is off when the double element is disabled.

The outer element enabling indication (ref.5b) is on when the triple element is enabled, is off when the triple

element is disabled.

Bridge element activation

Select one of the two single heating areas belonging to the bridge touching the related [ON] key, the HOT SURFACE led (ref.3) begins to flash.

Touch the [BRIDGE] key in order to enable the bridge element and set the whole cooking area as a single unit.

This operation is possible until the HOT SURFACE led (ref.3) is still flashing, before or after setting the power level:

• Set the power level on the selected zone then touch the [BRIDGE] key; both the displays will show the same power level and both extension lights (ref.1a, 1b) turns on.
• Touch the [BRIDGE] key, both HOT SURFACE led (ref.3) begin to flash and both extension lights (ref.6a, 6b) turns on. Set the power level that will be immediately and simultaneously displayed on both displays.

Figure. 9

Once the bridge configuration is active, the [ON] and [OFF] keys of the two single zones involved can be used indifferently to control the bridge area. All actions will have the same effect on the whole cooking area.

The bridge configuration cannot be disabled while is active. It's always necessary to switch the area off: the bridge will be disabled automatically.

Hot surface indicator light

Each element has a HOT SURFACE indicator light (ref.3) to show when the cooking area is hot.

This indication turns on when the zone is activated and remains ON until the cooking area has cooled down to a "safe to touch" temperature (approximately 150°F).

If a hot surface light is ON use caution when working around the cooktop as it is still hot.

Fast Boil (Booster) function

Once a heating element has been selected, touch the [FAST BOIL] key to enable/disable this function, before or after setting the power level.

A beep sounds and the heater display shows the selected power level and a "P" alternatively. The "Peacock Tail" shows the selected power level.

The heater works at full power (level 9, always on) for 10 minutes. After these 10 minutes the heater returns to the selected power level.

This option is available for all the cooking zones, both standard, both special ones (multiple zones or bridge).

Key Lock function

The key lock function is activated or deactivated holding the [LOCK] key for 2 seconds. The lock indication turns on, the keyboard is locked. Of course, the [LOCK] key itself is always enabled.

The keys are automatically locked at start-up.

The locking function can be activated regardless of the heaters condition (working or not). The key lock function locks all the keys but the [OFF] ones. Also the general [ON/OFF] key remains active for the off function.

Setting the timer

It works as a minute minder and it doesn't stop any heating element.

The timer is available in some models only. It can be set independently from the heating element, even if there aren't any working zones. If the cooktop is not working, touch first the main [ON/OFF] key to enter stand-by mode, with all displays showing "0".

Figure. 10

Touch [T-] or [T+] keys to set the timer: the initial value starts from "00" or "45" respectively on the timer display (ref.1). Hold the key in order to fasten the increase/decrease speed. The maximum value is "99".

The timer led (ref.2) indicates whether the timer is running.

The dot in the lower right corner of the display (ref.3) is flashing when the timer has been selected in order to change its value. After 5 seconds since the last touch the new value is accepted and the dot disappears. A beep confirms that the new value was accepted correctly.

To cancel the timer, hold [T-] key until the value decrease to "00" or touch both [T-] and [T + ] simultaneously in order to reset the value to "00" rapidly.

In some models the timer can be set in relation with a cooking zone:

• Select the cooking zone you want to time.
• Touch [T-] or [T+] , the timer led related to the zone starts flashing.
• Set the timer value.
• The timer led gets steady, the value is accepted and the countdown begins.

If more than one timer is set, the display shows the lowest value, the one that will expire first. The timer led (ref.4) related to the zone which the displayed value is referring to, is flashing. If the displayed value refers to the independent timer, the timer led (ref.2) flashes.

4 ON OFF

Figure. 11

To check the remaining time for any one of the timed zone, touch the [ON] key related to the zone: the corresponding timer led will begin to flash and the value on the timer display will switch for some seconds to the new value. After a time-out, it will switch back to the shortest one.

To check the independent timer value when it's not displayed with the highest priority, touch [T-] or [T+] when no zones are selected. The timer led (ref.4) flashes and the displayed value switches to the independent timer.

When the timer value elapses:

• An end of activity beep sequence sounds: three short beeps followed by a long interval are repeated for 1 minute.
  • The led indicator related to the elapsed timer flashes.
• The timer value "00" flashes too and will continue to flash waiting for a user confirmation.
• Touch [T-] or [T+] to cancel the expired timer, the display switches to the next shortest timer or gets blank if there aren't any other timer set.

WARNING: the timer is only intended as an acoustic advisor that recalls the attention of the user.

Timers have no effect on the heating elements. The cooking zone must always be stopped manually by touching the related [OFF] key.

Rest Heat

The HOT SURFACE indicators remain on even after the end of the cooking activity, just the necessary time to let the surface cool down below a safety value.

TME ON OFF

Figure. 12

The residual heat time depends on the power level that was set on the cooking zone and the time the heating element has been working for.

For example, a cooking zone that has been working for more than 5 minutes at full power will take half an hour to cool down before the Residual Heat indication fades away. At level 1 it will take about 10 minutes.

Features

The control is checking its own ambient temperature and stops any activity in case of overheating of inner parts. Let the appliance cool down.

Electric Cooktop Operation

BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP FOR THE FIRST TIME

• All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the manufacturing process.
• If present, remove all packing and literature from the cooktop surface.
• Clean your glass top before the first time you use it. A thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended. It only takes a minute and puts a clean, shiny coating on the glass top before its initial use.
• There may be a slight odour during the first several uses: this is normal and will disappear.

• Optimum cooking result depends on the proper cookware being selected and used.

• The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain hot over 20 minutes after the elements have been turned off.

• The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable material resistant to impact but not unbreakable if a pan or other object is dropped on it.
• Do not use aluminum foil directly on the glass; it will melt and damage the glass surface.
• Do nor allow pans to boil dry. This can damage the pan, element and /or cooktop.
• Never cook food directly on the glass.
• Do not slide cookware across cooking surface it may scratch the glass
• Using cast iron cookware on the glass cooktop Is not recommended. Cast iron retains heat and may result in cooktop damage.

Cookware

GENERAL

The choice of pan directly affects the cooking performance (speed and uniformity) for best result select pans with the following features.

Flat base

When a pan is hot, the base (pan bottom) should rest evenly on the surface without wobbling (rocking). Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight side, a well fitting lid and the material should be of medium to heavy thickness. Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop.

Match Pan Diameter to radiant element

The base of the pan should cover or match the diameter of the element being used.

COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS

Cooking Utensil Guidelines

• Aluminium: heats and cools quickly frying, braising, roasting. May leave metal markings on glass.
• Cast Iron: heats and cools quickly Not recommended. Retains excessive heat and may damage cooktop.
  • Copper: tin heats and cools quickly gourmet. cooking, lined wine sauces, egg dishes.
• Enamel ware: response depends on base Not recommended, metal Imperfections in enamel may scratch cooktop.
• Glass Ceramic: heats and cools slowly not recommended. Heats too slowly. Imperfections in enamel may scratch cooktop.
• Stainless Steel: heats and cools at moderate soups, sauces, rate vegetables, general cooking.

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING POINTS IN CANNING

Pots that extend beyond 1 of the surface unit's circle are not recommended for most surface cooking. However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, larger-diameter pots may be used.

This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to the cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.

However, do not use large diameter canners or other large-diameter pots for frying or boiling foods other than water.

Most syrup or sauce mixtures, and all types of frying, cook at temperatures much higher than boiling water. Such temperatures could eventually harm the glass cooktop surfaces.

Be sure the canner fits over:

• the center of the surface unit. If your cooktop or its location does not allow the canner to be centered on the surface unit, use smaller diameter pots for good canning results.

• Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often found in enamelware) because they don't make enough contact with the surface units and take a long time to boil water.

• When canning, use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures are available from the manufacturer of your canner; manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as Ball and Kerr brand; and the United States Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

• Remember that canning is a process that generates large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam or heat, be careful when canning.

CAUTION

Safe canning requires that harmful micro organisms are destroyed and that the jars are sealed completely. When canning foods in a water-bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained for the required time. When canning foods in a pressure canner, the pressure must be maintained for the required time.

After you have adjusted the controls, it is very important to make sure the prescribed boil or pressure levels are maintained for the required time.

Since you must make sure to process the canning jars for the prescribed time, with no interruption in processing time, do not can on any cooktop surface unit if your canner is not flat.

Special pans

Special pans, such as griddles, roasters, pressure cookers, woks, water (Use only a flat-bottom wok).

CAUTION

Food packaged in aluminum foil should not be placed directly on the glass ceramic surface for cooking; aluminum foil can melt and cause permanent damage.

CAUTION

Plastic, paper, and cloth can melt or burn when in contact with a hot surface. Do not let these items come in contact with the hot glass.

Cleaning the Cooktop

CAUTION

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the cooktop.

Apply a small amount of cooktop cleaning specific ceramic crème on a daily basis. this provides a protective film that makes it easy to remove water spots or food spatters. The temperature of the cooking surface reduces the protective qualities of this cleaner.

It must be reapplied before each use. Use a clean cloth and apply cooktop cleaning crème before each use to remove dust or metal marks that can occur on the counter level surface between uses.

FRAME

(Stainless steel models)

Always wipe with the grain when cleaning. For moderate/ heavy soil, use BonAmi ^® or Soft Scrub ^® (no bleach).

Wipe using a damp sponge or cloth, rinse and dry.

DAILY CLEANING TECHNIQUES

Troubleshooting

Problem	Cause	Possible Remedy
Nothing works	Cooktop not connected to proper electrical circuit.Fuse is blown or circuit breaker is tripped.No electricity to the cooktop.Cooktop is in lockout mode.	Have electrician verify that the proper rated cooktop voltage is being supplied to the cooktop. Have electrician replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.Have electrician check your power supply.Unlock cooktop.
Heating elements do not heat properly	Cooktop is connected to 120 volt power supply.Power supply connection is loose.Improper cookware is being used.	Have electrician connect cooktop to the proper rate cooktop voltage.Have electrician tighten the connections at the junction box.Select proper cookware as outlined in the Cooktop Operation section of this manual.
Heating elements cycle off even when elements are turned to their highest settings	Heating element temperature limiters are temporarily shutting off the elements due to exceeding the maximum allowable temperature.	This is a normal operating condition, especially during rapid heat-up operations. The element will cycle back on automatically after it has cooled sufficiently.
Glass ceramic surface is see-through or appears to be red in color.	Under direct or bright lighting, you will sometimes be able to see through the glass and into the chassis due to its transparent quality. You may also notice a red tint under these conditions	These are normal properties of black ceramic glass panels.
Lock Key blocked after first connecting or unresponsive touch control.	When first connecting electrically or after a power failure, any direct strong light over the sensor area may affect the touch control functionality.	When powering on the unit make sure that no strong light is shining direct over the touch control zone, it can compromise the start-up sensor calibration resulting in an unresponsive touch control.

Failures declarations

The control is managing an error detection system, mainly the checking the functionality of the electronics itself (keyboard functionality, ambient light conditions, communication between the two boards and the working temperature of the control).

As soon as a failure is detected, the control stops all the heating elements and declares the error code, showing on the proper display "F" and a second letter alternatively in order to identify the fault cause (see the table below).

FA, FC	Key Error
FE, Ft	Temperature sensor failure
Fc	Over temperature
Fr	Relay Error
FH	Control error (EEPROM)
FJ	Key Error
F0	Software Error
FL	Keyboard Error (Ambient Light)
FU	Key Error
Fd	Led On/Off Test Error
Fb	Keyboard Error
F5	Communication Error

“Fc” Allow the cooktop cool down.

"FA,FC,FJ,FL,FU,Fb" In case of keyboard or key errors, be sure that no objects, dirt or fluids are overlapping the commands. Try to remove the power and the restore it. If the problem persist call service.

In case of other control errors, remove and the restore the mains power. If the problem persist call service.
