In the cooking zone located on the front left, when selecting the
power level 9 and after 30 minutes operating, the power will decrease
slightly for safety reasons. In case more power is required, select the
boost level ("P")
Automatic Parboiling (selectable)
When Automatic parboiling is activated, the power of the cooking
zone is switched to 100 % for a period of time depending on the
selected onboiling stage. As soon as the parboiling time is over, the
preselected onboiling stage is valid again.
Procedure to start Automatic parboiling:
The control unit is switched on and a cooking zone is selected.
After setting cooking stage "9" Automatic parboiling is activated
by pressing at the right slider sensor. "A" appears on the display
immidiately.
Now the required onboiling stage is selected via Slider area .
The "A" symbol appears after 3 sec upon releasing the key - alternating
with the onboiling stage (500 msec „A" and 1.5 sec onboiling stage).
The onboiling stage may be changed within 15 sec after activation
without switching off the parboiling boost. Therefore, the cooking
zone is to be selected and the relevant cooking zone is to be set
afterwards.
In case of a selection after 15 sec a lower cooking stage may be set;
automatic onbboiling is switsched of.
a higher onboiling stage may be selected; this leads to the parboiling
time being automatically brought in line with the currently selected
onboiling stage
Power function
After selection of a respective cooking zone, the power function can
be selected directly via the power function key "3". By means of this
function certain cooking zones are enabled to receive power over the
nominal. If the desired cooking zone has the capacity to activate the
booster, the display shows a "P" symbol. The boosting time is limited
to 5 min to protect cooking utensils. After the booster is switched off
automatically, the cooking zone continues operation on power level
"9". The booster can be reactivated after some minutes.
In case that the pan is removed from the cooking zone during
boosting, the boosting function remains active and boosting time
continues.
Residual Heat
The determination of how long a cooking zone has residual heat
after operation and switch off – which may lead to burnings when
contacting – is calculated.
Status is calculated depending on:
Selected power stage („0" bis „9")
On/Off Time of the Relays
The residual heat indication of each cooking zone remains activated
until the calculated temperature is smaller than + 60 °C.
Automatic Switch-off (Operating Time Limitation)
For each activated cooking zone a max. operating time is defined.
The max. operating time is depending on the selected cooking stage.
After the expiration of the max. operating time the cooking zone is
automatically switched off.
Each actuation of the cooking zone status (changing the cooking
level etc.) resets the count-down timer to the initial starting value.
Timer settings takes priority vs. operating time limitations for high
cooking stage setting.
Protection against unintentional activation
The electronic system cuts off automatically in case of an identified
permanent use of keys for about 10 seconds. The control unit releases
an audible signal for 10 sec of the malfunction (period: 1000 msec, 500
msec ON) and the error code "E R 0 3" flashes on the display (0.5 s ON
0.5s OFF). If the permanant actuation exceeds 10sec, alone the error
code "ER 03" keeps flashing as long as the malfunction occurs and is
identified as such. In case the cooking zone is at stage "hot" the [H]
symbol alternates with the error code (0.5 sec Symbol 0.5 sec "H").
Water sprinkled on the glass surface does not always lead to a key
actuation and cannot be surely detected. ( After wiping the glass
covering the keys, all keys are ready for operation in no time).
If no cooking zone is activated within 20 sec after pressing POWER
ON, the control unit is reset to Off-mode (black displays).
Key Lock (Optional)
The actuation of the key lock key "4" in the wait or active mode
locks the keyboard and the assigned key-lock LED "7" is statically
illuminated. Here, the actuation times of the key-lock key have to be
taken into account. The control continues to work in the set mode, but
may no longer be operated with any key, except the key-lock key itself
or the on/off key "1".
The switching OFF with the on/off key "1" is also possible in the locked
condition. The assigned key-lock LED "7" fades when switching
off the control The key-lock function included LED is active again
when switching on (in wait mode 10 s) until this is deactivated by a
repeated actuation of the key-lock key. The activation/deactivation of
the key-lock function in the off mode is not possible.
When programmed timers expire the respective timer alarms may
be confirmed by actuating any key without needing to unlock the
control.
The repeated actuation of the key-lock key in the wait or active mode
unlocks the keyboard and the assigned key-lock LED fades. All sensor
keys may be operated as usual again.
Acoustic Feedback (Buzzer)
The following activities occurring during operation of the TC unit are
fed back audibly via a buzzer:
Short single tone for regular actuation of a key
Longer, intermittent tone for permanent use of keys over a longer
period of time (≥ 10 sec) Expiry of the timer
Timer-function (optional)
The timer function is available in two types:
-Stand-alone-timer 1..99 min: Audible signal with timing. This function
can only be activated as long as no cooking zone is in operation (all
stages = 0). Is any cooking zone started with operation (level >0) than
the stand alone timer keeps in operation. If the timer shall be used to
cut off a cooking zone (see cooking zone timer) then the control must
first be switched off (power sensor) and switched on again.
-Cooking zone timer 1..99 min: This function can only be activated as
long as a cooking is active (stage < 0; display dot).
Audible signal with timing, four cooking zones to be cut off are freely
programmable.
Setting a timer value:
By adjustment with the slider area.
Primarily the adjustment of the first digit takes place and thereafter
the adjustment of the second digit.
Within 10sec after the adjustment of the second digit the value might
be reset. (Illuminated display dot in the timer display and in case of a
cooking zone specific timer a blinking assigned LED).
In case of an active timer display the timer value may be set to [0]
directly by pressing [0] on the slider area (left side)
Switching of an active timer:
A timer can be switched of by setting its value to 0.
