OPERATION
The residual heat indicator
Once a hot cooking zone is switched off, "H" is displayed on the relevant cooking zone's
display to warn that the "cooking zone is still hot!"
Do not touch the cooking zone
at this time owing to the risk of
burns from residual heat, and do
not place on it any objects sensi-
tive to heat!
When the residual heat indicator goes out,
cooking zone can be touched, however keep
in mind that it may still be warmer than ambi-
ent temperature.
The "H" residual heat indicator is not displayed during a power outage. How-
ever, cooking zones may still be hot!
Important!
If the appliance is switched on after being reconnected or when electric
power is restored after a power outage, a short self-test will be carried out
and "H" residual heat indicator is displayed. "H" residual heat indication will
be shown on a cooking zone display for 45 to 60 minutes. The time residual
heat indication is displayed is not based on temperature measurement but on
how long cooking zone operated. After a power failure, the highest possible
temperature and the longest cooling time are assumed, hence the extended
time the indication is displayed.
This does not affect appliance operation.
Limiting the operating time
In order to increase efficiency, the cooking
surface is fitted with a operating time limiter
for each of the cooking zones. The maximum
operating time is set according to the last heat
setting selected.
If you do not change the heat setting for a long
time (see table) then the associated cooking
zone is automatically switched off and the
residual heat indicator is activated. However,
you can switch on and operate individual
cooking zones at any time in accordance with
the operating instructions.
