OPERATING PRINCIPLE (Fig. 1)
It exploits the electromagnetic properties of most cooking vessels.
The coil (inductor) which produces the electromagnetic field is operated and
controlled by the electronic circuit.
The heat is transmitted to food by the cooking vessel itself.
The cooking process takes place as described below.
- Loss of heat is minimum (high efficiency).
- The system stops automatically when the vessel is removed or even just
lifted from the hob.
- The electronic circuit guarantees maximum flexibility and fine adjustments.

Installation
All operations relative to installation (electric connection) should be carried
out by skilled personnel in conformity with the rules in force.
As for the specific instructions see part pertaining to installer.
Functionality Slider TC:
Slider: sensor technology of the novel Slider TC allows as well an adjustment
of the cooking levels (1 – 9) as the timer value (1-99) by touching and pulling
the finger over the designated area. Pulling to the right is increasing and to
the left is decreasing accordant value.
Moreover a direct selection of the designated value is also possible on the
slider area.
ON/OFF Touch Control
After connecting to the mains the TC unit takes 1 second to prepare for
operation. After a reset all displays and LEDs flashes up for 1 second. After 1
second all displays and LEDs are switched off again.
The TC unit may now be switched ON by pressing the ON/OFF key "1". Displays
show a steady "0". Possible optic warnings for hot cooking zones [H] are
displayed in alternation with [0] and the synchronously display dot. The
display dots on the cook top displays flashes up every second (0.5 sec.off, 0.5
sec. on). Electronics remains activated for 20 seconds. If there is no cooking
level or timer selection done in this period the electronics automatically
resets to the Off-mode by releasing a signal tone.
The TC may only be switched on by pressing the power key as sole input In
case of another key is pressed (single or in parallel with the power key), the
control unit is not switched on.
In case of an active "Child Lock Function" when switching POWER ON, all
cooking zone displays show "L" for LOCKED. Possible optic warnings for hot
cooking zones [H] are displayed in alternation with [L] (H-ON= 0.5 sec; L-ON
= 1.5sec). By pressing the ON/OFF key "1" of the control unit in ON-Mode, the
Touch Control may be switched off at any time. This is also applicable for
locked control units (active child lock). The ON/OFF key takes always priority
with the POWER-OFF function.
Automatic Switch Off
The TC switches from Power ON to OFF after 20 sec., provided that no cooking
zone is activated or a select key is pressed during that time.
In case of a selected cooking zone (with cooking stage is "0") this Auto Power
off time is composed of a 10 sec deselection time and 10 sec Power off time.
ON/OFF Cooking Zone
In case of On-state of the TC a cooking zone may be selected by touching the
dedicated display (Select-Sensors "8"). The respective display changes to a
steady display dot and "0" instead of "H" in case of a hot cooking zone. On all
other cooking zone displays the dot expires.
That followed a cooking level may be set by using the Slider area. Thus
switches the respective cooking zone on. End stops are „9" (right side) and
„0" (left side).
First place the pan in the chosen cooking zone. If the pan is not present the
system cannot be switched on the correspondent zone and the following
symbol will be displaeyd:
Switching Off a single cooking zone:
A single cooking zone may be switched off by selecting and setting cooking
level to [0]. In case of an optic warning for hot cooking zones [H] this is
displayed in alternation with [0] and the synchronously display dot.
After the TC is switched Off the display remains black respectively [H] is
displayed for an optic warning for hot cooking zone.
Switching Off all cooking zones:
Immediately switching off all cooking zones is always possible by using the
ON/OFF key.[H] possibly appears on all hot cooking zones. All other cooking
zone displays remain black.
Power Stages
The power of the cooking zone is adjustable in 9 different stages; the
respective stage is displayed ([1"] to [9]) via LED seven-segment-displays.
In case more power is required, select the boost level ("P").
Booster function
After selection of a respective cooking zone, the booster function can be
selected directly via the power function key (3). By means of this function
certain cooking zones are enabled to receive power over the nominal. If the
desired cooking zone has the capacity to activate the booster, the display
shows a "P" symbol. The boosting time is limited to 5 min to protect cooking
utensils. After the booster is switched off automatically, the cooking zone
continues operation on power level "9". The booster can be reactivated after
some minutes. In case that the pan is removed from the cooking zone during
boosting, the boosting function remains active and boosting time continues.
Control of multiple circuits
When a dual cooking zone is activated, the two circuits are switched on at the
same time. Activation of the external circuit is indicated by a pilot light (11) in
