As the single electronic interfaces are not protected internally against statical electricity and are
partially open, you must pay attention to that, in case of a repair, there will be a potential
compensation via the housing of the appliance (touch it) in order to neutralize a possible
charging and to prevent a damaging of the affected electronic interface.
You also have to be careful with those electronics delivered as spare parts, which have to be put
out of the ESD protective package only after a potential compensation (discharge of possible
statical electricity).
If a potential compensation with an existing static electricity is not executed, it does not mean
that the electronic is demaged directly. Consequential damages may result due to the damaging
of internal structures which arise only in case of load through temperature and current.
Endangered are all assembly groups which are provided with control entries, wire paths lying
open and free-accessible processors.

Cooking field:-If you do not set a cooking level in a cook zone within approx. 10 seconds
after switching on of the cook field, the cook field switches off
automatically.
-If one or more sensor fields are covered longer than 10 seconds, e.g. by
a pot placed on it, a signal sounds and the cook field switches off
automatically.
-If all cook zones are switched off, the cook field switches off
automatically approximately 10 seconds later.
Control panel:Humidity (e.g. a wet cloth) or over-cooking liquid on the control panel switches all
cook zones off immediately.
Induction cooking zones: -During overheating (e.g. an empty-cooked pot) the cook zone switches
off automatically. „- “is displayed. Before renewed use the cook zone
must be set to „0 “and be cooled down.
-If suitable table-ware is used, „F“ flashes in the display and after 10
minutes the display of the cook zone switches off.
-If one of the cook zones is not switched off after a certain time or if the
cook stage is not changed, the appropriate cook zone switches off
automatically.

The contact switch is glued directly on the glass ceramic and over a foil conductor connected
with input electronics. The UI is fixed in a plastic framework, which is also glued directly onto on
the glass ceramic.
Fig. 1Fig. 2
The trough framework is screwed onto the trough bath with star Torx TX20 screws. Before the
glass ceramic can be removed after the complete loosening of the star screws, it must be lightly
raised at the front, so that both 3-pole connection cable input electronics/ induction module can
be taken off (fig. 1).
Fig. 3
Input electronics are configured and provided with a standard software. After extracting from the
holding frame and taking the foil conductor off input electronics can be removed.
The spare part induction coil consists of the coil body, the white insulation and a coil holder.

Fig. 2Fig. 3
The induction coils are held with springs, which must be locked into the induction module carrier
(fig. 1). The nominal reduction rates in the trough (fig. 3) serve as position indicators.

With this series the induction modules are implemented as double modules, i.e. an induction
trough with four induction cook places has 2 induction modules (fig. 1). The induction module is
provided with a standard software and does not have not to be programmed.

The induction module of the trough is held with four sheet metal noses (fig. 2), in each case two

1.When alarm messages and disabled zones exist (“E“ in cooking phase display), please
make a note of the power component which is affected.
2.Check power lines and connection to user interface is connected,
3.If IGBT has become shorted, this normally means that the IGBT housing is damaged.
Replace power component.
4.Measure resistance at the IGBTs

The pot detection is designed for the following diameters:
Nominal burner ∅ [mm] Minimum pot bottom ∅
instruction manual [mm]
145 125 100
180 145 120
210 180 140
With regard to Ind. G4, the same diameter is stipulated in the
instruction manuals as for the previous model. However, the
real diameter which still functions is much smaller.
The performance for different pots can very by as much as +/
- 10-15%.
-As reference pots, we recommend enamelled steel pots
(e.g. Silit).
Minimum pot bottom ∅
adjusted with steel plate
[mm]
-2-3 mm thick round steel plates in various diameters are
very suitable for testing the pot detection function.
-Sandwich bottoms can cause very unpleasant noises if
they are not correctly pressed. The same is the case
with regard to handles which are a little loose.
-The Touch Control works on the basis of the capacitive principle, an amortizing mass is
detected, the signal modified is treated with some rules and validated as an action.
-If the user interface is not applied to the glass ceramic, the signal for the button evaluation
is much smaller and the buttons can no longer be used, i.e. always ensure that the plastic
supports are always intact.
-Should the appliance switch itself off without the glass ceramic having been touched, this
is due to a button being activated. Either external water or material on the glass.
Instructions on the operation / possible operation errors if the buttons do not function:
-Please do not approach slowly, especially not from the side, it is better to approach the
button faster. A signal change is above all evaluated.
-Applying excessive pressure to the cooking hob will not make a difference. It is better to
release it for 5 sec. and then press the button again.
-If the adjustment of the cooking stage/timer does not continue after the button has been
released, this is due to the fact that the Touch Control receives a „Button Pressed“ signal
even from a distance of some mm.
5.10Demo mode / Self test (Service mode) / Alarm Menu
To enter the Demo mode / service mode / factory test menu , the following sequence of buttons
must be pressed:
1.Hob is off. Press main switch continuously until display is going off (without beep).
2.Press the „+“ and „ -“ buttons (2a) of both front zones together (all 4 keys togehter ) for
about 3 seconds (-> short beep).
3.Press the timer selection key (-> again short beep).
4.The display (C) shows a “d” for demo mode. If you press the timer select key again you
switch to “S” for service mode, another presee gets you to “E” the alarm menu!
5.By pressing the button “+” of a cooking zone you activate the menu.
6.By pressing the button “-“ of a cooking zone you deactivate the menu.
Demo Mode:
If demo mode is activated the display with the „d“ shows additionally a dot. After selecting the
demo mode, the electronic goes to off. Now it can be used like usual but only without heater
activation. The deactivation of the demo mode is done in the same procedure as activating. After
deactivating the demo mode the electronic must go off. Now the hob can be used in normal
mode.
Service Mode “S”
Routine:
1.Show user interface SW version
2.Show control SW version
3.Show power SW version
4.400V detection test: “400U” blink on displays until 400V is not applied. When 400V is
detected, the buzzer ring and “OU” is shown on display until 230V is not applied.
5.Test all LEDs / Displays for 7 sec; during this time, booster is set on rear zones to test
sensors. When the time is elapsed, if the sensor are OK the test jump to the following step
otherwise “S” is shown alternatively on zones where the error occurred.
6.Zone power test: a different power level is set on each zone for 2 seconds
Alarm Mode “E”
The last 5 stored alarm codes (if >o) are displayed like an actual alarm, each for 5 sec., starting
with the oldest (read request ‘5’ Alarm code message) to the newest (read request ‘1’).
