Residual heat indicator
this tells the user that the glass is at a dangerously high heat in
case of contract with the whole area over the cooking zone.
The temperature is determined using a mathematical model
and any residual heat is indicated with an "H" by the
corresponding seven-segment display.
Heating and cooling are calculated in relation to:
• the power level selected (from "0" to "9");
• the relay activation period.
After switching off the cooking zone, the corresponding display
shows an "H" until the temperature in the zone falls below
the critical level (≤ 60°C) in compliance with the mathematical
model.
Protection in the event of accidental switching on
• If the electronic control sense continuous activation of a key
for about 10 sec. it switches off automatically. The control
gives off an acoustic error signal for 10 seconds, warning
the user of the presence of an object on the sensors. The
displays show the permanent error code, which will be
displayed as long as the electronic control senses the error.
If the cooking zone "burns", an "H" will appear on the
display, alternating with the error signal.
• If no cooking zone is activated within 10 seconds of
switching on the touch control, the control returns to stand-
by mode. (See also paragraph 1.2.
• When the touch control is on, the ON/OFF key takes
priority over all the other key, so the touch control can be
switched off at any time, even in the case of multiple or
continuous activation of the keys.
• In stand-by mode, continuous activation of the keys will
have no effect. However, before the electronic control can
be switched on again, it must acknowledge that no key is
active.
Key LoPrecautions
• If there is even the tiniest crack in the ceramic glass surface,
immediately disconnect the hob from the electricity supply;
• during operation, move any magnetic materials such as
credit cards, computer disks, calculators, etc., away from
the area;
• never use cooking foil or rest products wrapped in foil
directly on the hob;
• metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids must
not be rested on the surface of the hob to prevent them from
heating up;
• with cooking with non-stick containers, without using water
or oil, limit any preheating time to one or two minutes;
• when cooking foods which tend to stick to the bottom of the
pan, start at minimum power and gradually increase the
heat, stirring frequently;
• after use, switching off correctly (decreasing to "0") and
avoid relying on the pan sensor.

Maintenance (Fig. 4)
Traces of foil, food residues, splashes of fat, sugar or very
sugary foods must be removed immediately from the hob using
a scraper to avoid damaging the hob surface.
Then clean with SIDOL or STANFIX and kitchen paper, rinse
with water and dry with a clean cloth.
Never use abrasive sponges or clothes and avoid using
aggressive chemical cleansers such as OVEN SPRAYS or
STAIN REMOVERS.
DO NOT USE STEAM CLEANERS
FIGURE 4
Turning the cooking surface on and off
The cooking surface is turned on by pressing the "centre" On/
Off button (1), you will hear a short beep and the 5 seven-
segment displays light up showing "0". If a cooking zone is
"hot", the display will alternate between "H" and "0". After
switching on, the touch control remains active for 10 seconds.
If you do not select either a cooking zone or the times, the
touch control automatically returns to stand-by mode.
Acoustic signal (buzzer)
During use, the following activities are signalled by a buzzer:
- Normal pressing of the buttons with a short beep.
- Holding down buttons for more than 10 seconds with a long
intermittent sound (an error symbol is displayed and, if you
continue, the touch control is turned off)
Turning on a cooking area
Position a pot and touch an area of the cursor for the cooking
area where the pot is (9-10), slide your finger to the right to
increase the cooking level (10), or slide your finger to the left
to decrease it (9).
Turning off a cooking area
A single cooking area can be turned off directly by selecting
the "0" position by sliding your finger to the left in the cursor
area for the cooking area that is working.
Hot cooking areas will be displayed with a letter "H".
You can turn off all cooking areas immediately at any time
using the power On/Off button (1).
If, during cooking, you inadvertently turn off the surface while
using the controls, you can turn it on again with the On/Off
button and you will have 6 seconds to press the pause button
(4) that will be indicated by the (3) flashing of an indicator light
above the button; doing so will turn the surface on again with
the same settings it had before it was accidentally turned off.
