for hot cooking zones "H" are displayed in alternation with "
0" and the synchronously display dot. The display dots on the
cook top displays flashes up every second (0.5 sec.off, 0.5
sec. on). Electronics remains activated for 20 seconds. If
there is no cooking level or timer selection done in this period
the electronics automatically resets to the Off-mode by releasing
a signal tone.
The TC may only be switched on by pressing the power key as
sole input In case of an other key is pressed (single or in parallel
with the power key ), the control unit is not switched on.
In case of an active "Child Lock Function" when switching
POWER ON, all cooking zone displays show "L" for LO CKED .
Possible optic warnings for hot cooking zones [H] are displayed
in alternation with [L] (H-ON= 0.5 sec; L-ON = 1.5sec).
By pressing the ON/OFF key (1) of the control unit in ON-Mode,
the Touch Control may be s witched off at any time. This is also
applicable for locked control units (active child lock). The ON/
OFF key takes always priority with the POWER-OFF function.
Automatic Switch Off
The TC switches from Power ON to OFF after 20 sec., provided
that no cooking zone is activated or a select key is pressed
during that time.
In case of a selected cooking zone (with cooking stage is "0")
this Auto Power off time is composed of a 10 sec deselection
time and 10 sec Po wer off time.
ON/OFF Cooking Zone
In case of On-state of the TC a cooking zone may be selected
by touching the dedicated display (Select-Sensors (8)). The
respective display changes to a steady display dot and "0"
instead of "H" – in case of a hot cooking zone-. On all other
cooking zone displays the dot expires.
That followed a cooking level may be set by using the Slider
area. Thus switches the respective cooking zone on. End stops
are "9" (right side) and "0" (left side).
First place the pan in the chosen cooking zone. If the pan is not
present, the system cannot be switched on the correspondent
zone and the display shows the following symbol:
Switching Off a single cooking zone:
A single cooking zone may be switched off by selecting and
setting cooking level to "0". In case of an optic warning for hot
cooking zones "H" this is displayed in alternation with " 0" and
the synchronously display dot.
After the TC is switched Off the display remains black
respectively " H" is displayed for an optic warning for hot
cooking zone.
Switching Off all cooking zones:
Immediately switching off all cooking zones is always possible
by using the ON/OFF key. "H" possibly appears on all hot
cooking zones . All other cooking zone displays remain black.
Power Stages
The power of the cooking zone is adjustable in 9 different stages;
the respective stage is displayed ("1" to "9") via LED-seven-
segment-displays.
Booster Function
The Booster function can be selected by pressing the far right of
the sliding control (2). With this function, all the cooking zones
are able to receive a power supply above the nominal power (the
number of zones with booster at the same time will depend on
the power provided to the different zones, which must always be
less than the maximum power of the hob).
The booster activation time is limited to 5 minutes to protect
cooking utensils. After the booster has automatically switched
off, the cooking zone continues to operate at setting level "9".
The booster can be reactivated after a few minutes.
If the pan is removed from the cooking zone during boosting, the
booster function remains active and the disabling time continues
its countdown.
Power management is based on the principle that the last
modification to the setting level in the different zones has top
priority. This means that the setting levels previously configured
in the other zones may be automatically decreased
- If the induction detects that any of the cooking zones requires a
reduction, the display for this zone flashes for 3 seconds to time
for correction prior to modification.
- If the selected zone is re-adjusted within the correction period,
power management analyses the power distribution again. If a
reduction in power is not required the flashing stops and the
original setting level remains on the corresponding display.
- Should power distribution be changed again by the user, the
setting level will under no circumstances automatically increase
in the zones where it has been automatically reduced.
Residual heat indicator
This informs the user that the glass is at a dangerous temperature
should the area around the cooking zone be touched. The
temperature is determined by a mathematical model and any
residual heat is indicated by an "H" on the corresponding
7-segment display.
Heating and cooling are calculated based on:
· The selected setting level (between "0" and "9")
· The ON/OFF time.
After switching off the cooking zone, the corresponding display
will
indicate "H" until the temperature in the zone has dropped below
the critical level
(≤ 60ºC) according to the mathematical model.
Automatic Switch-off (Operating Time Limitation)
For each activated cooking zone a max. operating
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 s tage setting.
Protection against uninte ntional activation
The electronic system cuts of f 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
time is
