Frequently Asked Questions - VHH 1060 P VESTFROST

How do I activate the child lock on the Vestfrost VHH 1060 P?

To activate the child lock, press the On/Off button until the buzzer sounds, then simultaneously press the Activate/Deactivate Heater and Key Lock buttons for at least 0.5 seconds but no longer than 1 second. Then touch any heater button to confirm. The display will show 'L' on all zones.

What should I do if the hob displays 'F' on all zones?

An 'F' on all displays indicates a sensor safety cut-off due to an object or moisture on the controls. Dry the control panel and remove any objects. The hob will revert to Stand-By mode once the issue is resolved.

How should I clean the ceramic glass surface?

Use a cream or liquid cleaner specifically for ceramic glass. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive powders, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals. For melted sugar or plastic, scrape off while still hot (if safe) using a special scraper.

Can I use any pan on this hob?

Use only flat-bottomed pans with a sufficiently thick base that matches the zone diameter. Avoid pans with rough bottoms as they can scratch the glass. Always center the pan over the cooking zone for efficient heating.

What is the heat boost function and how do I use it?

The heat boost provides maximum power for a limited time. To activate, set the heat level to 9, then press the Heat Setting Increase button again. The display will flash 'A' alternating with '9'. Boost deactivates automatically or can be cancelled by pressing the decrease button.

How do I switch off a single cooking zone?

Select the zone by pressing its Activate/Deactivate Heater button (the decimal point will flash). Then either press the Heat Setting Decrease button until '0' appears, or simultaneously press the Activate/Deactivate Heater and Key Lock buttons. The zone will turn off and show residual heat if still hot.

What does the residual heat indicator 'H' mean?

The letter 'H' indicates that the cooking zone is still hot above +60°C even after being switched off. Do not touch the zone until the indicator disappears. It remains until the glass cools down safely.

Why does my hob switch off automatically during use?

This can happen due to the operating time limitation safety feature. If a zone runs at the same heat setting for too long (time depends on the level), it will automatically shut off. Simply switch it back on to continue cooking. Also, the over-temperature switch-off may activate if the controls get too hot.

How is the hob installed?

Installation must be performed by an authorized technician. The hob is built into a worktop with a cut-out of appropriate size (approx. 560 x 490 mm). Use the supplied sealing tape and mounting brackets. Ensure proper ventilation and electrical connection (230 V, 50 Hz). Refer to the manual for detailed steps.

What should I do if the glass surface is cracked?

If you notice a crack, immediately switch off the appliance and disconnect the power. Do not use the hob. Contact authorized service personnel for replacement. Using a cracked hob can cause electric shock.

Switching the Appliance On and Off

If the appliance is in Stand-By mode, it is put in Operating mode by pressing the On/Off button ① for at least 1 second. A buzzer will sound to indicate the successful operation.

A "0" will appear on all heater displays and all decimal points corresponding to the heaters will flash (1 second on, 1 second off).

If there is no operation within 10 seconds, all heater displays will switch off.

If the displays do switch off, the heater will be sent into Stand-By mode.

If Ⓙ is pressed for more than 2 seconds (in Operating mode), the appliance will switch off and will enter S-Mode again. The appliance can be switched off by pressing

① at any time; even if other buttons are pressed simultaneously.

If there is any residual heat from a heater, this will be indicated in the corresponding heater display.

Selecting a Heater

If a single heater is chosen with the corresponding Activate/Deactivate Heater Button ☐, the decimal point of the heater display will flash. For the selected heater, you can set the heat level between 1 and 9 by pressing the Heat Setting Buttons ⊕ or ⊖

The buttons must be pressed within 3 seconds of selecting a heater, otherwise the heater selection will be erased and the heat setting decimal point will disappear. If there is no further operation within 10 seconds, the heater reverts back to S-Mode.

The heat setting can always be changed by pressing ⭕ or ⬇. The available settings are between 1 and 9.

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

Set Cooking Level with and without Heat Boost

All heaters are equipped with the heat boost function.

If the heat boost is required, set the heat from the current level to level 9 by pressing the ⏻ button only. Once level 9 has been reached, press ⏻ to activate the heat boost. The display will flash "A" alternating with the heat setting value "9" to show the heat boost is active.

If the heat boost is active, the heater will operate with maximum power for a period of time dependent on the heat setting selected before the heat boost was activated.

Once the heat boost time has ended, only the heat setting will be indicated on the heater display.

The heat boost can be deactivated by pressing ⏻ until the heat setting "0" is displayed.

Switching Off Individual Heaters

A heater can be switched off in 3 different ways:

- Simultaneous pressing of buttons

- Reduction of the heat setting to '0' by pressing the button

- Use of the timer switch-off function for the corresponding heater.

Simultaneous operation of and buttons

The corresponding heater must be chosen with the Activate/Deactivate Heater Button ☐, the Decimal Point of the related Heater Display will then flash. To switch off the heater, ☐ and ☐ must be pressed simultaneously. A buzzer will sound and "0" will appear in the heat setting display when this is successful.

If the timer is active for the selected heater, then "0" will appear in the heater and timer displays, and the related Cooking Zone Indicator and the Timer Function will both switch off.

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

Reduction of the heat setting to "0" by operating ⏻ button

The heater can also be switched off by reducing the heat setting to "0". This will cause the associated Decimal Point of the heater, the related Cooking Zone Indicator and the Timer Display to all switch off, also.

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

Use of the timer switch-off function for the corresponding heater (if available)

After counting down to zero, the timer will stop, the corresponding Heater Display will show "0" and the Timer Display will read '00'. The corresponding Cooking Zone Indicator will disappear.

An assigned Dual/Triple Zone Selection Indicator will also disappear if it is active.

Additionally, the buzzer will sound when the timer stops. Pressing any button will silence the timer.

Key Lock

The key lock function is used to set 'safe mode' on the appliance and can only be used in Operating Mode (B-Mode). The lock function becomes active when the key Lock button ⏻ is pressed for at least 2 seconds. This operation is acknowledged by a buzzer and the Key Lock Indicator will flash to indicate the heater is locked.

If the heater is locked, it will only be possible to switch the appliance off by pressing ⏻, all other buttons are blocked and it will not be possible to make any adjustments by pressing the buttons. If any other button is pressed in the lock mode,

the buzzer will sound and the Key Lock Indicator will flash.

Only the switch-off operation by pressing Ⓙ is possible. However, if the appliance is switched off, it can not be restarted again without being unlocked.

Child Lock

The child lock function is used to lock the appliance in a complicated, multi-step process. Child lock (and unlocking) is only available in the S-Mode.

First, ① must be pressed until the buzzer sounds, then and must be pressed simultaneously for at least 0.5 seconds, but no longer than 1 second. Following this, touch to activate the child lock. All four heater displays will show "L" as confirmation.

If the minute minder timer is still running, it will proceed until "00" is reached and the timer will beep. After confirmation of timer completion, the appliance will be fully locked. None of the buttons can be used as long as the appliance is locked.

Child lock can be deactivated in the same way that it is activated. After pressing ① a beep is heard, and have to be pressed simultaneously for at least 0.5 seconds, followed by pressing only. As confirmation for successful unlocking, "L" will no longer be displayed.

Touch Control Safety Functions

The following safety functions are available to avoid unintended operations.

Sensor Safety Cut-Off

Button monitoring is included to prevent the appliance from unwanted button operation. In cases where one or more buttons are pressed for longer than 12 seconds, the buzzer will sound for ten minutes to indicate an incorrect operation. For example, an object may be placed on a button, or there could be a sensor failure and so on.

The safety switch-off will cause the hob to go into S-mode and all heater displays will flash "F". If there is no incorrect operation present, both the visual and audible signals will disappear.

If residual heat is present, "H" will be displayed on all other heater displays.

Over Temperature Switch-Off

Due to the controls being very close to the heater in the middle of the front of the hob, it can occur that an incorrectly placed pot is not sensed by the sensor safety cut-off therefore heating up the hob to a very high temperature. This makes the glass and the buttons dangerous to touch.

To prevent the hob control unit from damage, the controls constantly monitor the temperature and switch off if overheating occurs.

This will be indicated by the letter "t" in the heater display until the temperature decreases.

Once the temperature has dropped, the "t" in the heater display will disappear and the hob control unit will revert back into S-Mode. This means that the user can reactivate the appliance by pressing ⏻

Operating Time Limitations

The hob control unit has a limitation on the operating time. If the heat setting for a heater has not been changed for a certain time, the heater will switch off automatically. A "0" will be displayed for 10 seconds, however there may be some residual heat present. The limit of the operating time depends on the selected heat setting.

After a heater automatically switches off, as described above, the heater can be used and the maximum operating time for this heat setting is applied.

Residual Heat Functions

After all cooking processes, some heat will be stored in the vitroceramic glass called residual heat. The appliance can calculate roughly how hot this glass is. If the calculated temperature is higher than +60 °C, then this will be indicated in the corresponding heater display for as long as the calculated temperature remains above +60 °C, even after the appliance has been switched off.

The residual heat indicator has the lowest priority and is overwritten by every other display value, including during safety switch-off and the displaying of an error code. When voltage is supplied to the hob after a power interruption, the residual heat display indicator will flash. If a heater had a residual heat of greater than +60 °C before the power interruption occurred, the display will flash while the residual heat remains or until the heater is selected for another cooking operation.

Hints and Tips

Important: When ceramic heaters are operated in higher heat settings, the heated areas may be seen switching on and off. This is due to a safety device, which prevents the glass from overheating.

This is normal at high temperatures, causing no damage to the hob and little delay in cooking times.

WARNING:

- Never operate the hob without pans on the cooking zone.

• Use only flat saucepans with a sufficiently thick base. • Make sure the bottom of the pan is dry before placing it on the hob.
• While the cooking zone is in operation, it is important to ensure that the pan is centred correctly above the zone.

- In order to conserve energy, never use a pan with a different diameter to hotplate being used.

• Do not use saucepans with rough bottoms since these can scratch the glass ceramic surface.
• If possible, always place lids on the pans to avoid heat loss.
• The temperature of accessible parts may become high while the appliance is operating. Keep children and animals well away from the hob during operation and until it has fully cooled after operation.
• If you notice a crack on the cooktop, it must be switched off immediately and replaced by authorised service personnel.

5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

5.1 CLEANING

WARNING: Switch off the appliance and allow it to cool before cleaning is to be carried out.

General Instructions

Check whether the cleaning materials are appropriate and recommended by the manufacturer before use on your appliance.

Use cream cleaners or liquid cleaners that do not contain particles. Do not use caustic (corrosive) creams, abrasive cleaning powders, rough wire wool, or hard tools, as they may damage the cooker surfaces.

Do not use cleaners that contain particles, as they may scratch the glass, enamelled, and/or painted parts of your appliance.

Should any liquids overflow, clean them immediately to avoid parts becoming damaged.

Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning any part of the appliance.

Cleaning the Ceramic Glass

Ceramic glass can hold heavy utensils but may be broken if it is hit with a sharp object.

WARNING: Ceramic Cooktops - if the surface is cracked, to avoid the possibility of an electric shock, switch off the appliance and call for service.

Use a cream or liquid cleaner to clean the vitroceramic glass. Then, rinse and dry them thoroughly with a dry cloth.

Do not use cleaning materials meant for steel, as they may damage the glass.

If substances with a low melting point are used in the cookware's base or coatings, they can damage the glass-ceramic cooktop. If plastic, tin foil, sugar, or sugary foods have fallen on the hot glass-ceramic cooktop, scrape it off the hot surface as quickly and as safely as possible. If these substances melt, they can damage the glass-ceramic cooktop. When cooking very sugary items like jam, apply a layer of a suitable protective agent beforehand if possible.

Dust on the surface must be cleaned with a wet cloth.

Any changes in colour to the ceramic glass will not affect the structure or durability of the ceramic and are not due to a change in the material.

Colour changes to the ceramic glass may be for a number of reasons:

1. Spilt food has not been cleaned off the surface.
2. Using incorrect dishes on the hob will erode the surface.
3. Using the wrong cleaning materials.

Cleaning the Stainless Steel Parts (if available)

• Clean the stainless steel parts of your appliance on a regular basis.
• Wipe the stainless steel parts with a soft cloth soaked in only water. Then, dry them thoroughly with a dry cloth.
