Automatic safety off
Displaying power levels
Power Management
Power management for a
Limited Power Cooktop
(ECO)
If the power level is not changed during a preset time, the corresponding heater
turns off automatically.
The maximum time a heater can stay on depends on the selected cooking level.
Level
Max. time on (hours)
Uninterrupted operation at every power level of each cooking zone is limited in
time (see the table above). When the cooking zone turns off by the safety
mechanism, the display shows the symbol "0" or "H", if there is residual heat.
The cooking zone can be turned off by the sensor (A-) for setting the level
cooking.
Example:
Set the hotplate to power level 5 and let it operate for some time. If you don't
change the level, the safety mechanism will switch the hotplate off after 10
hours.
Protection against overheating
Induction cooktop is also fitted with safety device against overheating which
protects electronic parts from damages. This device operates on several levels.
When cooking zone's temperature increases excessively, the two-stage fan
switches first. If this is not enough, extra powerful heating is deactivated, and
finally the safety device either reduces the heating power of certain cooking
zones or turns them off completely. When the hotplate cools off, the full power of
hotplate is again available. So during the operation you can hear an steady hum
due to the turning on of the cooling fan. It is possible that the cooling fan
continues to operate even after the cooktop turning off.
Power level 0:
A constant "0" is displayed on the heater display. If the induction generator
indicates residual heat, the display alternates between "0" and "H". This
indication only disappears when there is no longer any danger (at 50 °C).
The display shows a "0" as long as the temperature remains below 50 °C,
whereas it shows an "H" whenever the temperature exceeds 50 °C.
To save energy, turn off the burner in advance, in order to exploit the residual
heat.
Power level 1...9, P:
If no pan is detected or if an aluminium pan is detected, the power level flashes
on the heater display. After 30 seconds, if a non-aluminium pan is not detected,
the power level returns to 0.
When a non-aluminium pan is detected, the power level is shown constant on
the heater display.
The power drawn is 2800 W, but you can increase it at 3500W, 6000W or
7200W
(This operation must be carried out by a qualified technician only).
For reduced power cooktops, each time the user tries to increase the power, the total
power level of the cooktop is calculated. If this total power level is greater than the
cooktop power limit, the power increase is not allowed. An error beep sounds and
the heater display shows the actual power level and an 'r' blinking.
