correct positioning and service operations. They should be read without fail, especially by the technician
who will position the appliance.

CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR THE APPLIANCE

There are several points to pay attention to when choosing a location for your cooktop. Make sure to take
into account our recommendations below in order to prevent any problems and dangerous situations, which
might occur later!
When choosing a location for the cooktop, attention should be paid that there are no flammable or
combustible materials in the close vicinity, such as curtains, oil, cloth etc. which quickly catch fire.
Furniture surrounding the oven or cooktop must be made of materials resistant to temperatures at least
100 C°.
Required changes to wall cabinets and exhaust fans above a built-in cooktop as well as minimum heights
from the oven board are shown below. Accordingly, a range hood should be at a minimum height of 65 cm
from the cooktop. If there is no range hood the height should not be less than 70 cm. Refer to the range
hood instructions for specific details before installation.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The basic layout of the cooktop is shown in the diagram below.

The cooktop appliance is operated by touching buttons, with the functions confirmed by LED displays and
acoustic signals.

Turning On and Turning Off the Cooktop Appliance

If the appliance is in Stand-By-Mode (power connected, but not on), it is put into Operating-Mode by pressing
the On/Off button for at least 1 second. A beep signal indicates the successful operation acoustically.
On all power Level Displays a ´0` will appear and all Decimal Points of the Power Level displays will flash.

If there is no operation within 10 seconds, all the Power Level Displays will automatically turn off, returning the
appliance to the Stand-By-Mode.

If is pressed more than 2 seconds (in Operating-Mode), the appliance is switched off and is set into the
Stand-By-Mode again. The appliance can be turned off by pressing at any time; even if other buttons are
pressed simultaneously.

If there is any residual heat remaining in a cooking zone, this will be indicated on the correspondent Power
Level Display as a red “H”.

5

Selecting A Cooking Zone

With the appliance in Operating-Mode, and the decimal points of all cooking zones flashing, select a particular
cooking zone by pressing the corresponding Active/Deactivate Button and the Decimal Point of the chosen
cooking zone will light up (all others will turn off). Adjust the power level between 1-9 by touching the Power
Level Buttons or (while the decimal point is lit). Press the Active/Deactivate Button again to deselect the
cooking zone, or the Active/Deactivate Button of another hotplate.

If left idle with the power setting left at “0”, the decimal point on the selected cooking zone will turn off (all
decimal points will begin to flash again) and the Power Level Buttons will no longer operate that cooking zone
unless that cooking zone is selected again with the Activate/Deactivate button.

The Power Level Display works on a thermostat system. This means that the Cooking zone will switch on and
off (radiating red when on) in order to remain at the chosen power level. NOTE the cooking zone will remain
on for longer periods if a higher power level is chosen, alternatively the cooking zone will be on less regularly
on lower power level settings.

Turning On The Dual Zone

The cooking zone to the front left side has an optional dual zone function, which allows it to be used with small
or large cookware. First select the cooking zone & set a power level. Next, activate the dual zone by pressing

the dual zone select button . This is confirmed by a beep signal and the Dual Zone Indicator will light up.

Touching for a second time turns the dual zone off.
NOTE: The dual zone can be activated only after a power setting between 1 & 9 is set on that cooking zone.

Setting The Cooking Level With and Without Heat Boost

Every cooking zone is equipped with an optional heat boost function. The function uses maximum power on
the selected cooking zone for a length of time set by the power level setting.

First, select a cooking zone (power level 0). Press the minus “-“ button so the power level goes to 9 (or lower,
down to 1). The power level display will alternate between the set power level and “A”, indicating the boost
function has started. This will continue until the boost function has finished, and only the power level is
displayed.

To stop this function, press the “+” & “-“ buttons together (the power level display for the selected cooking
zone will revert to “0”).

Turning Off Individual Cooking Zones

A particular cooking zone can be turned off in 2 different ways:

· Simultaneous operation of the “+” and “-“ buttons.

· Reduction of the power level to “0“ by operating the “-“ button.
If the cooking zone happens to be running a dual zone at the time, the Dual Zone Indicator will also turn off.
If there is any residual heat remaining in a cooking zone, this will be indicated on the correspondent Power
Level Display as a red “H”.

- Simultaneous operation of the “+” and “-“ buttons

The specific cooking zone must be selected with the Active/Deactivate Button so the decimal point of the
cooking zone Power Level Display is lit. Press the “+” & “-“ buttons together. A beep signal sounds and
“0“ appears in the Power Level Display to indicate the cooking zone has turned off.

- Reduction of the power level to ´0` by operating “-“ button

The cooking zone can also be turned off by reducing the power level to “0“. The specific cooking zone must
be selected with the Active/Deactivate Button so the decimal point of the cooking zone Power Level Display is
lit. Press the “-“ button until the Power Level Display indicates “0“, which means the cooking zone is no longer
running.

Key Lock

The key lock is used to stop changes being made to functions while in operation (except to turn the cooktop
off or on).

Set the cooktop up to run & then press the Key Lock button for at least 2 seconds. This operation is
acknowledged with an audible beep and the Key Lock Indicator is lit. The cooktop can only be locked when in
Operating Mode.

If the cooktop is locked, only can be operated and all other buttons are blocked. Once switched off, the
appliance can not be restarted again without unlocking first. Press the Key Lock button again for 2 seconds &
the Key Lock Indicator disappears, allowing the appliance to be used as normal.

Child Lock

The Child Lock is used to lock the appliance in the Stand-By-Mode (no functions running, but minute minder is
allowed). Turn the appliance on & press the “+” and “-“ buttons together for between ½ & 1 second. Press the
“+” button again & the appliance will lock (“L” shown in each display).

To unlock, press until there is an audible sound, then press the “+” & “-“ buttons together for at least ½ a
second, followed by the “-“ button. The appliance will go back into Stand-By-Mode. Once turned on again, the
appliance will be unlocked and the “L” in the displays turned off.

Note: At first this may seem difficult to do, but with a little practice to get the timing correct will make this
function easy to do.

7

Timer Functions

This appliance is supplied with an inbuilt timer, which can be used as a minute minder or a cooking zone
timer. It has the following features:

 The timer can control up to 4 cooking zones at a time as well as the minute minder.

 The cooking zone timer does not work in conjunction with the boost function.

 The minute minder works independently of all other functions.

Minute Minder Function

Press the Timer button once (while any other function is running, but not while the decimal points are flashing)
and the Minute Minder function will be selected (the timer display will show “00”, which is the current time
setting, and the decimal point will be lit). Within 10 seconds, use the “+” & “-“ buttons to adjust the time (up to
a maximum of 99 minutes). Once the time is set, either press the Timer button again to deselect the minute
minder, or press an Active/Deactivate Button to use a cooking zone and the timer will start to count down
(note if no cooking zone is operating, the appliance will go to the Stand-By-Mode, but the timer will continue to
be displayed and count down). The set time can be adjusted by pressing the Timer button once again to
select the function and then adjusted with the “+” & “-“ buttons.

Once the set time has elapsed, the timer display will flash “00”, and an audible alarm will sound. Press any
button to stop.

The minute minder does not affect any other function.

Cooking Zone Timer Function

A timer can be set for each cooking zone separately, but only those that are operating (with a power level
between 1 & 9). Pressing the Timer button twice (so the decimal point is lit) bypasses the minute minder &
starts the cooking zone timer function.

There are four cooking zones & each is represented by a Cooking Zone Indicator at one corner of the timer
display. If one cooking zone is operating (power between 1 & 9), the corresponding Cooking Zone Indicator
will flash. While the decimal point of the timer display is lit, use the “+” & “-“ buttons to adjust the timer for that
cooking zone. The Cooking Zone Indicator will continue to flash & the timer display will count down until zero,
at which point an alarm will sound and the power level display will go to “00” (turning the cooking zone off).
Turn the alarm off by pressing either the Active/Deactivate Button for the cooking zone, or the Timer button
(the Cooking Zone Indicator for that cooking zone will turn off).

When 2 or more cooking zones are active, the Timer button can be pressed to cycle through the different
cooking zones (starting at the left front cooking zone & cycling clockwise). The Cooking Zone Indicator of the
active timer will flash, while cooking zones that have timers running will have their Cooking Zone Indicator
continuously lit. When the cooking zone is selected (the corresponding Cooking Zone Indicator is flashing),
the timer can be adjusted for that cooking zone (as above). After 10 seconds inactivity, the timer display will
change to show the shortest timer time and the Cooking Zone Indicator of the cooking zone it is for will flash
(with all other active cooking zones with timers continuously lit). The settings of cooking zones can now be
adjusted as previously explained. As each timer function reaches zero, an alarm will sound, and the timer
display will flash “00”. Once the alarm has been turned off, the timer display will switch to the next shortest
time & continue from there.

Note that timer settings can be adjusted at any time by activating the correct timer function & adjusting with
the “+” & “-“ buttons. If the setting is set to 0, the timer function is turned off, but the cooking zone will continue
to run.

TOUCH CONTROL SAFETY FUNCTIONS

The following safety functions are available to avoid unintended operations of the cooktop control:

Cooking Zone Safety Cut Off

To prevent the appliance from unwanted, random button operation, a sensor monitoring is included.

In the case of one or more buttons being pressed longer than 12 seconds, the sensor monitoring routine
indicates acoustically that an “error” (pot or other object placed on the button, sensor failure, etc.) has
occurred and switches off the appliance.

Note: a spillage of liquids onto the control panel can also cause this safety function to engage, or even turn
the unit off.
If residual heat is present, it will be displayed in all other Power Level Displays with a red “H”.

Over Temperature Switch Off

Because the controls are very close to the cooking zones at the front of the cooktop, it is possible that a pot
can be placed half on the control and not be sensed by the sensor safety cut off (not covering a sensor). This
can cause the cooktop to heat up to a very high temperature, which makes the glass and the buttons
untouchable without burning a finger.
A temperature sensor installed in the touch control unit will help to prevent damage to the control unit by
turning the appliance off when overheating occurs.

Operating Time Limitation

The cooktop control has a limitation on the operating time. If the power level for a cooking zone has not been
changed for a certain time, then the cooking zone will turn off automatically (a “0“ is displayed for 10 seconds,
then the residual heat sign “H” is displayed). The limit of the operating time depends on the selected power
level. After an automatic turn off of a cooking zone (as described above) the cooking zone is operable again
and the maximum operating time for this power level is re-applied.

Residual Heat Functions

After all cooking processes there is some heat stored in the vitroceramic glass called residual heat. The
control can calculate roughly how hot the glass is in the worst case. If the calculated temperature is higher
than + 60 ° C, then this will be indicated in the corresponding Power Level Display after the cooking zone
control has turned off with a red “H”. The residual heat display is shown as long as the calculated cooking
zone temperature is > + 60 ° C.

The display of the residual heat has the lowest priority and is overwritten by every other display value, during
safety turn offs and the display of an error code.

When the supply voltage is re-applied to the cooktop after an interruption to the supply voltage, the residual
heat display does not come back on.

9

CLEANING

NOTE: Cleaning and maintenance operations must only be carried out when the
cooktop is cool (all residual heat indicators are off).

The appliance should be disconnected from the power outlet or turned off at your
isolation switch before commencing any cleaning process.

Do not use plastic, plastic coated or aluminium cooking equipment on this appliance.

CLEANING THE COOKTOP

Cookware with rough bases should not be used as they can scratch the glass ceramic surface. The base of
the good cookware should be as thick and flat as possible. Before use, make sure that cookware bases
are clean and dry.

Always place the cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on. If possible, always place the lids
on the cookware. The base of any cookware used must not be smaller or larger than the cooking zones;
they should be the proper size as indicated below, so as not to waste energy.

Before cleaning the cooktop, first isolate the cooktop from the power. Once done, ensure that there is no
residual heat stored in the appliance. Vitroceramic glass is very resistant to high temperature and
overheating. If there is residual heat stored in the appliance, the related residual heat indicator lamp will be
on. In order to avoid burns, let the appliance cool down.

Remove all spilt food and fat with a clean damp, warm, slightly soapy, dishcloth. Rinse cloth and wipe
cooktop again until clean, then wipe the cooktop dry with a clean tea towel or dry soft cloth.

If aluminium foil or plastic items are accidentally melted on the vitroceramic surface, they should be
immediately removed from the hot cooking area with a scraper specifically for vitroceramic glass. This will
avoid any possible damage to the surface. This also applies to sugar or food containing sugar that may be
spilled on the cooktop.

In the event of other food melted on the cooktop surface, remove the dirt when the appliance has cooled
down. Use cleaner for glass ceramic or stainless steel when cleaning the surface.

Do not use abrasive sponges to clean the vitroceramic surface. These materials may damage the surface.

Do not use chemical detergents, sprays or spot removers on the vitroceramic surface. These materials may
cause fire or the vitroceramic colour to fade. Clean with a damp, warm, slightly soapy, dishcloth.

WARNING: Using cookware that is too large can cause discolouration or damage to the cooktop surface
around the cooking zones, which is NOT covered under warranty
