Mode Descriptions

Turning the appliance on / off.

If the appliance is in Stand-By-Mode, it is put in Operating-Mode by pressing the On/Off button ⏻ at least 1 second. A beep indicates a successful operation.

On all heaters a '0' appears and all Decimal Point of the heater flashes.

If there is no operation within 10 sec, the display of all heaters will turn off.

If the displays are turned off, the heater will be set to off.

If ⏻ is pressed more than 2 sec (in Operating-Mode), the appliance is switched off and is set into the off mode again. The appliance can be turned off by pressing ⏻ at any time; even if other buttons are pressed simultaneously.

If there is residual heat remaining, this will be indicated by a flashing H in the corresponding Heater Display.

Select Heater

If a single heater is chosen with the corresponding Active/Deactive Heater Button ☐, the Decimal Point of the related Heater Display flashes. For the selected heater, you can set the heat level between 1-9 by touching the Heat Setting Buttons ⊕ or ⊖.

The buttons must be pressed within 3 sec, otherwise the heater selection is erased and heat setting dot will disappear (Decimal Point). If there is no further operation within 10 sec, the heater falls back into off mode.

The heat setting can always be changed by pressing ⊕ or ⊖ between level 1-9.

Each button operation or each display change is accompanied by a beep.

Set Cooking Level With and Without Heat Boost

All heaters are equipped with heat boost functionality.

If the heat boost is active, then the heater will be operated with maximum power for the period of the heat boost time, which is dependent on the selected heat setting. This is indicated by a flashing 'A', alternating with the heat setting value (e.g. 'A' and then '9') in the heater display. Once the heat boost time has ended, only the heat setting will be displayed.

If you want to use heat boost level 9 must be selected by pressing starting from level 0. After setting the heat to level 9, 'A' and the heat setting will be displayed alternately. This means that level 9 and heat boost is active. Continue to press the button to set a lower heat setting.

The heat boost can be turned off by pressing until heat setting '0' is selected.

If the heat boost should be used, it can always be activated by actuating again if the heat setting is set to level 9. In the heat display 'A/9' flashes.

Turn Off Individual Heaters

A selective heater can be turned off in two ways:

. Simultaneous operation of ⊕ and ⊖ buttons
- Reduction of the heat setting to '0' by operating button

Simultaneous operation of ⊕ and ⊖ buttons

The corresponding heater must be chosen with one of the Active/Deactive Heater Button ☐ the Decimal Point of the selected Heater Display flashes. To turn off the heater, ☑ and ☑ must be pressed at the same time. A beep signal sounds and '0' appears in the heat setting display.

If there is a residual heat for this heater remaining, this will be indicated by a static display 'H' in the heat setting display.

Reduction of the heat setting to '0' by operating ⊖ button

The heater can also be turned off by reducing the heat setting to '0'. When Heater Display indicates '0', the Decimal Point of the selected heater will also turn off.

If there is a residual heat for this heater remaining, this will be indicated by a static display 'H' in the heat setting display.

Key Lock

Key lock functionality is for blocking and set the appliance into a save modus during operation. Touch modifications as for example rise heat settings and others should not be possible. It is only possible to switch the appliance off.

To lock the current operating mode, press the Key Lock button Ⓧ for at least 2 seconds. This operation is acknowledged by a beep. The Key Lock Indicator flashes and the controls are locked. The heater can only be locked in Operating Mode.

If the heater is locked, only ⏻ can be operated, all other buttons are disabled. Only the On-Off switch ⏻ will operate. If you switch off the appliance, you must switch it on again and press the lock button to unlock the appliance before you can use it.

After pressing Ⓞ 2 sec, the Key Lock Indicator disappears. Now, the hob control is unlocked and can be operated normally.

TOUCH CONTROL SAFETY FUNCTIONS

The following safety functions are available to avoid unintended operations of the hob control.

Sensor Safety Cut Off

To prevent the appliance from unwanted, random sensor operation, sensor monitoring is included.

In case of one or more buttons are pressed longer than 12 sec, the sensor monitoring routine indicates with a beep, that wrong operation (pot or other object placed on the button, sensor failure, etc.) and switches off the appliance.

The safety turn off causes the hob to turn off to standby. An 'F' will flash in all heater displays once before switching to standby.

If residual heat is present, 'H' will be displayed in the appropriate heater displays.

Over Temperature Switch Off

Due to the control panel being close to the front two heaters it can get too hot to touch if the pans have been badly placed so the bottom edge of the pan is close to but not touching the control buttons.

To prevent the hob control unit from damage, the control monitors the temperature and switches off, if the control panel exceeds 60^ C. All 4 heater displays show 't', until the hob cools down.

After the hob cools the 't' displays will be erased and the hob control enters standby mode. This means that the user can reactivate the appliance by touching ^① .

Residual Heat Functions

After the hob is turned off when cooking is finished, there is some heat stored in the vitroceramic glass called residual heat. The hob can calculate roughly how hot the glass is. If the calculated temperature is higher than +60 °C, the corresponding heater display will flash an 'H' symbol. The residual heat display is shown as long as the calculated heater temperature is higher than +60 °C.

The display of the residual heat has the lowest priority and is overwritten by every other display value such as safety turn off's and displaying error codes.

HOB RESET

When the Hob is first turned on after installation or after a power outage during operation, the Hob will display a flashing 'H' on all or some heater displays.

Which displays flash an 'H' depends on mode of operation when the power outage happened.

This is due to the Hob retaining heater information in its memory, this is not a fault and is normal.

To reset the Hob, press and hold the top left heater, bottom left heater and the ⊖ buttons at the same time for roughly 2 seconds.

hold these buttons to reset the Hob.

Cookware with rough bottoms should not be used since these can scratch the ceramic surface. The bottom of the cookware should be as thick and flat as possible. Before use, make sure that cookware bottoms are clean and dry.

Always place the cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on. If possible, always place the lids on the cookware. Bottom of the cookware must not be smaller or larger than the cooking zones, they should be at the proper size as indicated below.

CORRECT FALSE FALSE FALSE

Before cleaning the hob, first disconnect from the electrical supply socket. Then ensure that there is no residual heat stored in the appliance. Vitroceramic glass is very resistant to high temperature and overheating. If there is residual heat stored in the appliance, 'H' is flashing in the Heater Display. In order to avoid burns, let the appliance cool down.

CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB

Before you begin cleaning make sure that the hob is switched off. Remove spillages and other types of encrustations.

Dust or food particles can be removed with a damp cloth. If you use a detergent, please make sure that it is not abrasive, Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring powders as these can damage the ceramic surface of the hob.

All traces of the cleaner must be removed with a damp cloth. Dust, fat and liquids from food that has boiled over must be removed as soon as possible.

If they are allowed to harden they become increasingly difficult to remove.

This is especially true in the case of sugar/syrup mixtures which could permanently pit the surface of the hob if left to burn on it. If any of these products has melted on the ceramic surface, you should remove it immediately (when the surface is still hot) by using a scraper to avoid any permanent damage to the surface of the hob (available from the store where you purchased this appliance).

Do not put articles on the hob which can melt: i.e. plastic, aluminium foil, sugar, sugar syrup mixtures etc.

Avoid using a knife or other sharp utensil as these may damage the ceramic surface.

Do not use steel wool or an abrasive sponge which could scratch the surface permanently.
