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.
Key lock (child safety feature)
◊ Child safety feature:
Key lock:
After switching-ON the control the child safety feature can be
activated. To achieve this it is necessary to simultaneously
operate the front right cooking zone- select-key and the
MINUS-key and then press the front right cooking-zone-select key
again. There will be an "L", meaning LOCKED (child safety feature
against unintended switching-ON). If a cooking zone is in the "hot"
condition, "L" and "H" will be displayed in alternation.
This course of operation has to take place within a period of 10
seconds, no other key than described above may be operated.
Otherwise the input will be interrupted because of incompleteness,
the cook top will not be locked then.
The electronic control remains in a locked condition until it gets
unlocked, even if the control has been switched-OFF and -ON in the
meantime. Also a reset of the control (after a voltage drop) does not
cancel the key lock.
Unlocking for cooking purposes: :
To unlock and operate the control it is required to operate the front
right cooking- zone select- key and the MINUS-key simultaneously.
"L" (LOCKED) in the display extinguishes and all cooking zones
show "0" with a blinking dot. Should a cooking zone be "hot", "H" is
displayed instead of the static "0". After switching- OFF the control,
the child safety feature is active again.
Cancelling the key lock:
After switching-ON the control the child safety feature can be
deactivated. Here it is necessary to simultaneously operate the front
right cooking-zone-select key and the MINUS-key and then operate
the MINUS-key alone. If all steps have been carried out in the right
order within 10 seconds the key lock gets cancelled and the control
is OFF. Otherwise the input will be considered incomplete, the control
remains locked and switches-OFF after 20 seconds.
After a renewed switching-ON by means of the ON/OFF key all
displays show „0", the display dots are blinking and the control is
ready for cooking. If a cooking zone is in "hot" mode, "0" and "H" will
be alternately displayed.
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.
Timer function (optional)
The timer function is realized in two versions:
· Stand-alone timer 1..99 min: sound signal when the time is over (=
minute minder). This function is only available when the cooktop is
not in operation, i.e. when there is no cooking.
· Cooking zone timer 1..99 min: sound signal when the time is over,
four cooking zones can be programmed independently.
Timer as minute minder (stand-alone):
· If the control is ON and no cooking zone selected, the standalone-
timer can be used by simultaneously operating MINUS (2) and PLUS
(3) keys.
· Adjustment range (0-99min), it can be set in 1-minute steps with
any key, starting at 1 up to 99 (end stop) with the minus-key starting
at 99 down to 0 (end stop)
· Continuous activation of the plusor minus-key results in a dynamic
increase of the adjustment speed up to maximum value without
sound signal.
· when the plus- or minus key is released in the meantime, the
adjustment speed starts again from a (low) initial value.
· adjustment can be made with a continously activated plus- or
minus-key or by tip-operation (with sound signal) After the timer is
set the time runs down according to the adjustment. When the time
is over there is a sound signal and the timer display blinks.
The sound signal will be stopped
· automatically after 2 minutes and/or
· by operating any key.
Then the blinking of the timer display stops and the display
extinguishes.
Switching-OFF/changing the timer
· The timer can be changed or switched-off anytime by
simultaneously operating MINUS (2) and PLUS (3) keys. (with sound
signal). The timer will be switched off by counting down to "0" with
the minus-key.
For 6 seconds the timer display remains at "0" before it will be
switched-off.
· If the control will be switched- ON by means of the Power-key, the
stand-alone timer will be switched-off also.
Timer programming on cooking zones
When the control is switched- ON an independent timer can be
programmed for every cooking zone.
· By selecting a cooking zone with the cooking-zone-selectkey (4),
then selecting the setting and, finally, operating MINUS (2) and PLUS
(3) keys simultaneously, the timer can be programmed as a switch-
off function for a cooking zone.
· During timer programming, the pilot light (6) of the selected cooking
zone blinks.
· When the timer has run down, there is a sound signal and
the timer display shows "00" statically, the assigned cooking
zone timer LED blinks. The programmed cooking zone will
be cut off and „H" will be displayed if the coking zone is hot,
otherwise a stroke will show in the cooking zone display.
The sound signal and the blinking of the timer LED will be stopped
· automatically after 2 minutes
· by operating any key.
The timer display extinguishes.
· The basic behaviour follows the description of the "minute minder"
(stand-alone-timer).
Cooking vessels (Fig. 14)
- 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.
