Simultaneous pressing of and buttons.
Reduction of the heat setting to ´0` by pressing the button.
Use of the timer switch-off function for the corresponding heater.

Simultaneous Operation of and Buttons

The corresponding heater must be chosen with the Activate/Deactivate Heater Button , the Decimal Point of the related Heater Display will then flash. To switch off the heater, and must be pressed simultaneously. A buzzer will sound and “0” will appear in the heat setting display when this is successful.
If the timer is active for the selected heater, then “0” will appear in the heater and timer displays, and the related Cooking Zone Indicator and the Timer Function will both switch off.
If there is any residual heat for the heater, this will be indicated by an “H” in the heat setting display.

Reduction of the heat setting to “0” by operating button

The heater can also be switched off by reducing the heat setting to “0”.This will cause the associated Decimal Point of the heater, the related Cooking Zone Indicator and the Timer Display to all switch off, also.
If there is any residual heat for the heater, this will be indicated by an “H” in the heat setting display.

Use of the timer switch-off function for the corresponding heater (if

Child lock can be deactivated in the same way that it is activated. After pressing , a beep is heard. Press and simultaneously for at least 0.5 seconds, followed by pressing only. As confirmation for successful unlocking, “ L ” will no longer be displayed.

Touch Control Safety Functions

The following safety functions are available to avoid unintended operations.

Sensor Safety Cut-Off

Button monitoring is included to prevent the appliance from unwanted button operation. In cases where one or more buttons are pressed for longer than 12 seconds, the buzzer will sound for ten minutes to indicate an incorrect operation. For example, an object may be placed on a button, or there could be a sensor failure and so on.
The safety switch-off will cause the hob to go into S-mode and all heater displays will flash “ F “. If there is no incorrect operation present, both the visual and audible signals will disappear. If residual heat is present, “ H ” will be displayed on all other heater displays.

Over Temperature Switch-Off

Due to the controls being very close to the heater in the middle of the front of the hob, it can occur that an incorrectly placed pot is not sensed by the sensor safety cut-off therefore heating up the hob to a very high temperature. This makes the glass and the buttons dangerous to touch.
To prevent the hob control unit from damage, the controls constantly monitor the temperature and switch off if overheating occurs.
This will be indicated by the letter “ t ” in the heater display until the temperature decreases.

Once the temperature has dropped, the “ t ” in the heater display will disappear and the hob control unit will revert back into S-Mode. This means that the user can reactivate the appliance by pressing .

Operating Time Limitations

The hob control unit has a limitation on the operating time. If the heat setting for a heater has not been changed for a certain time, the heater will switch off automatically. A “0” will be displayed for 10 seconds; however there may be some residual heat present. The limit of the operating time depends on the selected heat setting.
After a heater automatically switches off, as described above, the heater can be used and the maximum operating time for this heat setting is applied.

Residual Heat Functions

After all cooking processes, some heat will be stored in the vitro-ceramic glass called residual heat. The appliance can calculate roughly how hot this glass is. If the calculated temperature is higher than + 60°C, then this will be indicated in the corresponding heater display for as long as the calculated temperature remains above + 60°C, even after the appliance has been switched off.
The residual heat indicator has the lowest priority and is overwritten by every other display value, including during safety switch-off and the displaying of an error code. When voltage is supplied to the hob after a power interruption, the residual heat display indicator will flash. If a heater had a residual heat of greater than + 60°C before the power interruption occurred, the display will flash while the residual heat remains or until the heater is selected for another cooking operation.

Hints and Tips

Important: When ceramic heaters are operated in higher heat settings, the heated areas may be seen switching on and off. This is due to a safety device, which prevents the glass from overheating. This is normal at high temperatures, causing no damage to the hob and little delay in cooking times.

Warning:

Never operate the hob without pans on the cooking zone.
Use only flat saucepans with a sufficiently thick base.
Make sure the bottom of the pan is dry before placing it on the hob.
While the cooking zone is in operation, it is important to ensure that the pan is centred correctly above the zone.
In order to conserve energy, never use a pan with a different diameter to the hotplate being used.
Do not use saucepans with rough bottoms since these can scratch the glass ceramic surface.
If possible, always place lids on the pans to avoid heat loss.
The temperature of accessible parts may become high while the appliance is operating. Keep children and animals well away from the hob during operation and until it has fully cooled after operation.
If you notice a crack on the cooktop, it must be switched off immediately and replaced by authorised service personnel.

Cleaning and Maintenance

WARNING: Switch off the appliance and allow it to cool before cleaning is to be carried out.

Check whether the cleaning materials are appropriate and recommended by the manufacturer before use on your appliance.
Use cream cleaners or liquid cleaners which do not contain particles. Do not use caustic (corrosive) creams, abrasive cleaning powders, rough wire wool or hard tools as they may damage the cooker surfaces.
Do not use cleaners that contain particles, as they may scratch the glass, enameled and/or painted parts of your appliance.
Should any liquids overflow, clean them immediately to avoid parts becoming damaged.
Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning any part of the appliance.
Cleaning the Ceramic Glass
Ceramic glass can hold heavy utensils but may be broken if it is hit with a sharp object.
WARNING: Ceramic Cooktops – if the surface is cracked, to avoid the possibility of an electric shock, switch off the appliance and call for service.
Use a cream or liquid cleaner to clean the vitro-ceramic glass. Then, rinse and dry them thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Do not use cleaning materials meant for steel as they may damage the glass.
If substances with a low melting point are used in the cookware’s base or coatings, they can damage the glass- ceramic cooktop. If plastic, tin foil, sugar or sugary foods have fallen on the hot glass-ceramic cooktop, please scrape it off the hot surface as quickly and as safely as possible. If these substances melt, they can damage the glass- ceramic cooktop. When you cook very sugary items like jam, apply a layer of a suitable protective agent beforehand if it is possible.
Dust on the surface must be cleaned with a wet cloth.
Any changes in colour to the ceramic glass will not affect the structure or durability of the ceramic and is not due to a change in the material.
Colour changes to the ceramic glass may be for a number of reasons:
1. Spilt food has not been cleaned off the surface.
2. Using incorrect dishes on the hob will erode the surface.
3. Using the wrong cleaning materials.
Cleaning the Stainless Steel Parts (if available)
Clean the stainless steel parts of your appliance on a regular basis.
Wipe the stainless steel parts with a soft cloth soaked in only water. Then, dry them thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Do not clean the stainless steel parts while they are still hot from cooking.
Do not leave vinegar, coffee, milk, salt, water, lemon or tomato juice on the stainless steel for a long time.
