   Touching the “-” and “+” together, the timer is cancelled, and the timer indicator will turn off.

4. When the time is set, it will begin to count down immediately. The display will show the remaining time .

5. Buzzer will bips for 30 seconds and the timer indicator will turn off when the setting time finished.

Setting the timer to turn one or more cooking zones off If the timer is set on one zone:

1. Select the relevant cooking zone which is working by touching the zone select key (1).

2. Press the Timer key(7) ” 111 “, the timing indicator flashes, and you can set the timer at this point.

3. Using the “+” and “-“buttons, you can realize the setting of timing from 1 to 99 minutes. Hint: Touch the “-” or “+” control of the timer once will decrease or increase by 1 minute. Touch and hold the “-” or “+”control of the timer will decrease or increase by 10 minutes. Touching the “-” and “+” together, the timer is cancelled, and the timer indicator will turn off.

4. When the time is set, it will begin to count down immediately. The display will show the remaining time and the timer indicator flash for 5 seconds.
   NOTE: The red dot next to power level indicator will illuminate indicating that zone is selected.

5. When cooking timer expires, the corresponding cooking zone will be switch off automatically.
   Other cooking zone will keep operating if they are turned on previously.

Automatic switch-OFF

When the control is ON it automatically sw itches-OFF after 60 seconds if no cooking zone or select key has been operated within this period of time. If case of a cooking zone selection, the automatic switch- OFF time is composed of 60 seconds deselection time for a cooking zone at setting”0″ and 60 seconds switch-OFF time.
Residual heat indicator
It is meant to indicate to the user that the glass ceramic has a dangerous touch temperature in the circumference of a cooking zone. The temperature will be determined following a mathematical model and the remaining residual heat will be indicated by means of “H” on the corresponding 7-segment display.
Heating-up and cooling down will be calculated dependent on:

• the selected setting („0″ to „9″)
• the ON/OFF time.

After switching-OFF the cooking zone the respective display shows “H” until the assigned cooking zone temperature is mathematically in a uncritical level. (s 60°C).
Automatic power OFF function (operating time limitation)
Dependent on the selected setting, every cooking zone will be switched-OFF after a defined maximum operation time if no operation of the assigned cooking zone follows within this time period. Every change of the cooking zone condition (by means of the PLUS-, MINUS- key) puts back the maximum operation time of this cooking zone to the initial value of the operating time limitation.
Protection against unintended switching-ON

• If the electronic control realizes a continuous operation of keys for approx. 10 seconds, it switches OFF automatically. The control sends out an audible failure signal, so that the user can remove the object which has been mistakenly placed onto the operation surface. The displays show the failure code ” E R 0 3 ” . If the failure carries on for more than 10 seconds, only the code “E R 0 3 ” will be displayed as long as the failure will be recognized by the electronic control. If the cooking zone is in the “hot” status, “H” will appear on the display in alteration with the failure notice.
• If no cooking zone will be activated within 60 seconds after switching-ON by means of the Power-key, the control switches back from the ON-condition into the stand-by-mode.
• When the control is switched- ON the ON/OFF-key has priority over all other keys, so that the control can be switched-OFF anytime, even in case of multiple or continuous operation of keys.
• In the stand-by mode a continous operation will not be signalized. However, before the electronic control can be switched-ON again, it has to recognize that all keys are not operated.

Audible signal (buzzer)
While the control is in operation the following activities will be signaled by means of a buzzer:

• normal key activation with a short sound signal.
• continuous operation of keys over a longer period of time (10 seconds ) with a longer, intermittent sound signal.

Cooking vessels (Fig. 3)

– a magnet-attracting vessel may be a suitable vessel for induction cooking
– prefer vessels which are especially declared to be suitable for induction cooking
– flat- and thickbottomed vessels – a vessel with the same diameter as zones ensures the maximum exploitation of power
– a smaller vessel reduces power exploitation, but does not cause any energy loss We would anyhow not recommend the use of vessels with diameters smaller than 10 cm.
– stainless-steel vessels with multi-layer or ferritic stainless-steel bottoms when specifically suited for induction cooking
– cast-iron preferably enamel-bottomed vessels to avoid scratching the pyroceram surface
– we do not recommend the use of any glass, ceramic, earthenware, alluminium, copper or non-magnetic (austenitic) stainlesssteel vessels.

Maintenance (Fig. 4)

By means of a scraper immediately remove any alluminium foil bits, food spills, grease splashes, sugar marks and other high sugarcontent food from the surface in order to avoid damaging the hob.
Subsequently clean the surface with some towel and appropriate product, rinse with water and dry by means of a clean cloth. Under no circumstance should sponges or abrasive cloths be used; also avoid using aggressive chemical detergents such as oven sprays and spot removers.
