Touch Control sensor fields

The appliance is operated using Touch Control sensor fields. Functions are controlled by touching sensor fields and confirmed by displays and acoustic signals.

Touch the sensor fields from above, without covering other sensor fields.

Residual heat indicator

1 Warning! Risk of burns from residual heat. After being switched off, the cooking zones need some time to cool down. Look at the residual heat indicator h .

3 Residual heat can be used for melting and keeping food warm.

Operating the appliance

3 Use the induction cooking zones with suitable cookware.

Switching the appliance on and off

		Control panel		Display	Pilot light
	Switch on	Touch	for 2 seconds	¾ / h	lights up
	Switch off	Touch	for 1 second	h / none	goes out

3 After switching on, within approx. 10 seconds a heat setting or a function must be set, otherwise the appliance automatically switches itself off.

3 Switching off also works by touching and at the same time. This applies for all individual functions, for example, ”Switching off the Timer”.

The STOP+GO function simultaneously switches all cooking zones that are switched on to the keep warm setting and then back to the heat setting that was previously set. This function can be used to briefly interrupt and then continue the cooking process e.g. to take a telephone call.

Automatic warm up function and Power function

The sensor field controls the Power function and the Automatic warm up function. Both functions make more power available to the cooking zone for a short time.

Using the automatic warm-up function

All cooking zones are equipped with an automatic warm-up function. The automatic warm-up function sets the cooking zone to the highest setting for a certain period of time and then automatically switches back to the cooking setting that was originally set.

3 If during the automatic warm up a higher heat setting is selected, e.g. from Á to Ã, the automatic warm up is adjusted.

The length of time that the automatic warm up function operates depends on the heat setting selected.

Switching the power function on and off

The power function makes more power available to the induction cooking zones, e.g. to bring a large quantity of water to the boil quickly.

The power function is activated for 10 minutes. After that the induction cooking zone automatically switches back to heat setting 9.

		Control panel		Power indicator/
				Display
	To switch on	Touch	with heat set-	p, lights up
		ting 0 or 9
	To switch off	Touch		9, goes out
		Touch		9, goes out

Power Management

The cooking zones have a maximum power available to them.

If this power range is exceeded by switching on the power function, Power Management reduces the heat setting of the other cooking zone.

The display for this cooking zone alternates for two minutes between the set heat setting and the maximum possible heat setting. Thereafter the actual heat setting is displayed.

Example:

Last	Other cooking zone

set	set	display	actual
heat setting	heat set-		heat setting

3 If the power function has ended, the cooking zones automatically switch back to the heat setting set previously.
