TOUCH CONTROL SAFETY FUNCTIONS

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

Sensor Safety Cut Off

To prevent the applian ce from unwanted, random sensor operation, a sensor
monitoring is included.

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.
If there is no erroneous operation present any longer, both the visual and

the acoustic signal will disappear.

92

Over Temperature Switch Off

Due to the placement of the control is very clo se to the heater in the middle
front of the hob, it can occur that a not correctly placed pot half on the
control and not sensed by the sensor safety cut off (not covering a button)
heats up the hob to a very high temperature, which makes the glass and
the buttons untouchable without get burned the finger.

To prevent the hob control unit from damage, the control monitors all the
time the temperature and switches off in case of overheating emergency.
It is indicated in the hea ter 4 heater display with the letter ´t` for all the time
until the temperature decreases.

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 ho b 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 of the selected heat setting.
If a timer was associated with the he ater than a ´00` will be displays 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.

UK

93

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 hea ter display after the
heater or the hob control was turned off. T he 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, cau ses that the residual heat display flashes,
if the corresponding heater had a residual heat of greater + 60 ° C before
the power in terruption occurred. The display will flash until the max. residual
heat time has expired or the heater will be selected and activated.

CLEANING AND CARE

Cookware with rough bottoms should not be used since these can scratch
the glass ceramic su rface. The bottom of the good cookwares should be as
thick and flat as possible. Before use, make sure that cookware bottoms
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. Bottom of cookwares
must not be smaller or larger than the cooking zones, they should be at the
proper size as indicated below , not to waste energy.

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 th e appliance, ´H` is flashing in the Heater
Display. In order to avoid burns, let the appliance cool down.

Remove all split food and fat with a window scrape. 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 are accidentally melt on the hob surface,
they should be immediately removed from the hot cooking area with a
scra per. This will avoid any possible damage to the surface. This also applies
to sugar or food containing sugar may be spilled on the hob.

In the event of other food melt 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 dishcloth or abrasive sponge to clean the vitroceramic surface.
These materials may damage the surface.
Do not use chemical de tergents, sprays or spot removers on the vitroceramic
surface. These materials may cause fire or vitroceramic color fade. Clean
with water and washing up liquid.
