TOUCH CONTROL SAFETY FUNCTIONS

The following safety functions are available to
avoid unintended operations of the hob control.

Sensor Safety Cut Off
To prevent the appliance from unwanted, random
sensor operation, a sensor monitor is included.

Customer Helpline 0345 257 7271

In case of one or more buttons are pressed
longer than 12 sec, the sensor monitoring routine
indicates acoustically that wrong operation (pot or
other object placed on the button, sensor failure,
etc.) and switches off the appliance.

The safety turn off causes that the hob control is
turned off to the S-Mode. An ´F` will flash in all
heater displays.

If residual heat is present, it will be displayed in all
other heater displays.

The hob control will then go in S-Mode. At the
same time a buzzer signal appears. After 10
minutes the acoustic signaling will stop.

After the temperature falling, the ´t` displays will
be erased and the hob control unit falls back into
the S-Mode. This means that the user can
reactivate the appliance by touching .

Operating Time Limitations
The hob control unit has a limitation of the
operating time. If the heat setting for this heater
has not been changed for a certain time, than the
heater will turn off automatically (for 10 sec a ´0` is
displayed, afterwards the residual heat). The limit
of the operating time depends on the selected
heat setting. If a timer was associated with the
heater than a ´00` will be displayed on the timer
display for 10 sec. Afterwards the timer display
turns off.

After an automatic turn off of the heater, as
described above, the heater is operable again
and the maximum operating time for this heat
setting is applied.

If there is no erroneous operation present any
longer, both the visual and the acoustic signal will
disappear.

Over Temperature Switch Off

Due to the controls being placed very close to the
heater in the middle front of the hob, it is possible
that a pan or pot that is placed on half of one of
the controls may not be detected by the 'Sensor
Safety Cut Off' (described above). In such a case,
it is possible that the pot might be pressing a
button, causing the hob section to heat to a very
high temperature, where the glass is untouchable
without getting burnt.

To prevent the hob control unit from damage, the
control monitors
and switches off in case of an overheating

The letter 't' will be displayed in each

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 heater
display after the heater or the hob control was
turned off. The residual heat display is shown as
long as the calculated heater 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 displaying an
error code.

After reapplying the supply voltage to the hob
control after an interruption of the supply voltage
occurred, causes that the residual heat display
flashes,

CLEANING AND CARE

Cookware with rough bottoms such as cast iron
pans should not be used since these can scratch
the glass ceramic surface. Before use, make sure
that pans 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 bottom of pans
must not be smaller or larger than the cooking
zones, they should be of an appropriate size as
indicated below, so not to waste energy.

Customer Helpline 0345 257 7271

CORRECT

Before cleaning the hob, first remove the plug
from the electrical supply socket. Then 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
temprature indications light will be lit. In order to
avoid burns, let the appliance cool down.

Remove all spilled food and fat with a metalic
scraper. Then wipe the hob with a suitable
washing up liquid and a clean damp cloth. Rub
the appliance using a clean dry cloth.

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

INCORRECT INCORRECT

INCORRECT

In the event of other food on the
hob 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 dishcloths or 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 vitroceramic color
fade. Clean with water and washing up liquid only.
