PRODUCT OPERATION
THEORY OF OPERATION
Principles Of Induction Heating
The use of induction heating in glass-ceramic cooking devices has existed since 1987.
With this technique, the container is heated directly. Therefore the cooking surface heats up only as a result of the heat transmitted from the container to the glass, which is much lower than in conventional systems.
The base of the container is heated by the elec tric currents that circulate in its base and which are induced by a variable, medium-frequency magnetic field generated by the inductors lo­cated underneath the ceramic glass.
Only containers with a base made of ferromag netic steel or iron can be used with induction cooktops. Containers that cannot be used for in duction can be recognized by a magnet test.
Even though it is recommendable to use con tainers that fit the size of the cooking zone, containers of a smaller diameter can be used without causing notable reductions of efficiency. The cooktop control reduces the power deliv ered to small containers and, if applicable, stops supplying power when the container does not have the minimum required diameter.
The power inverter transforms the 50 Hz of the power grid into an alternating current with a frequency between 20 and 60 Hz.
Direct heating of the container base provides the induction system with very fast heating. Likewise, the system reacts very quickly to power level changes.
Induction provides very precise control of the power levels, wherefore it allows delicate recipes to be prepared.
A temperature sensor under the glass is used in order to protect the inductor, and it moreover allows detecting that an empty container is being over-heated and stopping the heating process.

Advantages Of Induction Heating Faster Cycle Time
­Heat is developed directly and instantly within
-
-
-
1 second inside the pot or pan, allowing a much quicker startup than other heating equipment. Heating process times can be dramatically reduced & production output can be significantly increased.
With induction cooking the heat level is every
• bit as instantaneous, and as exact, as with gas, yet with none of the many drawbacks of gas (carbon monoxide, loss of flame etc.). Induc tion elements can be adjusted to increments as fine as the cooking utensil cares to supply, just like gas, and—again very important to serious cooks—such elements can run at as low a cooking-heat level as wanted for gentle simmering and suchlike (something even gas is not always good at).
High Thermal Efficiency And Increased Profitability
This energy-efficient process converts up to
• 90% of the energy expended into useful heat to reduce utility costs. (With gas ranges up to 60% of the heat is normally wasted through indirect gas combustion.) Stand-by losses are reduced to a minimum.
-
3-1
The costs of exhaust duct installation and air
• conditioning running costs are saved.
As mentioned earlier, induction cooking en­ergy is supplied directly to the cooking utensil by the magnetic field; thus, almost all of the source energy gets transferred to that cook­ing utensil. With gas or conventional electric elements (including halogen), the energy is first converted to heat and only then directed to the pot or pan with a lot of that heat go ing to waste heating up your kitchen instead of heating up your food. (As a comparison, 40%—less than half—of the energy in gas gets used to cook, whereas with induction 84% percent of the energy in the electricity used gets used to cook (and the rest is not waste heat as it is with gas). There are two important heat-related consequences of that fact:
Cooler kitchens:
Of course the cooking vessel and the food itself will radiate some of their heat into the cooking area—but compared to gas or other forms of electrically powered cooking, induc tion makes for a much cooler kitchen.
Cool stove top:
The stove top itself barely gets warm except
• directly under the pan (and that only from such heat as the pan bottom transfers). No more burned fingers, no more baked-on spills, no more danger with children around.
Environmentally Sound
Induction heating is a clean, non-polluting
• process. It produces much less smoke or waste heat to alter the surrounding environ ment.
It is an obvious but still very important fact that induction cooktops are powered by electricity. Not every home actually has a gas pipeline available to it—for many, the only “gas” option is propane, with the huge propane tank and regular truck visits. But everyone has clean, silent, ever-present electricity.
Burning gas has byproducts that are vapor ized, but eventually condense on a surface somewhere in the vicinity of the cooktop. Electrical cooking of any kind eliminates such byproducts.
User-Friendly
Working conditions are improved with the
• absence of smoke and heat produced by heating equipment. You can touch the outer casing without getting burned.
If the electricity supply to your home is inter-
-
rupted, you will be unable to cook; gas sup plies can be interrupted, too, but such inter ruptions are normally somewhat less likely than electricity interruptions. If the electricity where you are frequently goes out for hours at a time, the loss of cooking ability may be an issue for you.
Pinpoint Accuracy
Power input is precisely controlled to achieve
• the exact temperature required for heating. Heat is developed directly inside the pot or kettle or cooktop.
With gas, when you adjust the element set-
• ting, the energy flow adjusts instantly.
-
But with induction cooking the heat level is every bit as instantaneous, and as exact, as with gas, yet with none of the many drawbacks of gas. Induction elements can be adjusted to increments as fine as the cooker maker cares to supply, just like gas, and—again very im­portant to serious cooks—such elements can run at as low a cooking-heat level as wanted for gentle simmering and suchlike (something even gas is not always good at).
Moreover, gas—induction’s only real com petition—has special risks of its own, not all
-
of which are as well known as they perhaps should be. While the risk of a gas flame, even a pilot light, blowing out and allowing gas to escape into the house is relatively small, it does exist.
Maximum Repeatability
With modern induction heating equipment,
• the heating pattern is always the same for a given set-up, cycle after cycle and day after
-
day.

Noises that are Common to the Normal Operation of Induction Cooktops
Induction heating technology is based on the capacity that certain metal materials have to vibrate when they are subject to high frequency waves.
Under certain circumstances, these vibrations may make certain sounds of a low volume due to the following:
Low tone noise, similar to that of a trans
former: It occurs when cooking at high power levels. It is due to the enormous amount of energy that the cooktop is supplying to the container. It disappears or attenuates as the power level used is reduced.
Soft whistling: They occur when the con
tainer is empty. They disappear or attenu ate when water or the food to be cooked is added.
Crackling: This kind of noise may occur in
containers composed of layers of different materials. The noise is due to the vibration in the separation zones between the various layers of material. This noise is proper to the container. It can change according to the quantity and type of food that is cooked.
Sharp whistling (beeps): They occur basi
cally with containers composed of different layers of materials when two adjacent cook ing zones are started up at the same time and at maximum power. They disappear or attenuate when the power is reduced.
Intermittent clicks: They are noises caused
by the commutations of the control electron ics, above all when low power levels are selected.
Fan noise: In order to control the correct
operation of the electronics, they must work at a controlled temperature. To achieve this, the cooktop is equipped with a fan that works at
different speeds according to the temperature detected. The fan can also continue operating when the cooktop is turned off after being used if the detected temperature continues to be high.
NOTE: All these noises are normal and inher ent to induction technology, and they are not a sign of any breakdown.
The noises that occur with greatest frequency are those with containers that have a “sandwich” type base.

Display shows messages
-
Is “E” flashing on the surface cooking area display? Thoroughly wipe or remove
any object on touch keys. When finished cleaning, touch the correct key. The flashing should stop.
Is “E” flashing on all the surface cooking
area displays with a signal beeping? The
main switch has been kept on for more than 5 seconds. Wipe up any soil on the touch keys. Remove any objects on the touch keys. Reset the cooktop.
Is the display flashing when you place a saucepan on an induction surface cooking area? Check that the saucepan is magnetic.
Check that the diameter of the saucepan is large enough. Center the saucepan on the surface cooking area. Allow the saucepan to cool down in the event that it has become hot when used. Switch the surface cooking area off, then on again. If the display still does not light up, turn power off at the circuit breaker. Wait 20 seconds and turn power back on.
Is the Performance boost function display
flashing and switching off? The Perfor-
mance boost function operates the surface cooking area with the most power. During long cooking times, it is possible that the function will switch the surface cooking area off to protect the cooktop from overheating. You can continue to use the cooktop if the display is not flashing.
Is the appliance level? Level the appliance.

. “F2” will disappear when the surface cooking area has cooled down. If you turn the surface cooking area back on and “F2” reappears, the cooktop is still too hot. Turn off the surface cooking area and allow it to cool
.
F4 The pot or pan is
too close to the control panel.
Make sure the pot or pan is centered on the surface cooking area and nothing hot is on the touch control panel. Wait 5 minutes for control panel to cool. If “F4” appears after turning the surface
cooking area back on,
call customer service.
F8 The surface
cooking area has been in operation for too long
.
The surf
ace cooking area automatic shutoff was activated. Turn
off the surface cooking area.
c1 The power
voltage is too low.
Turn off the cooktop. Wait 5 seconds, then turn it back on. If this continues, contact a qualified electrician.

s activated. Wait 5 minutes, for it to cool down, then turn it back on.
Is the display flashing “Er” and numbers?
If an “Er” and a series of numbers appear in the display panel, turn power off at the circuit breaker. Turn on again. If a problem contin­ues, call customer service. See “Assistance or Service” in the Use & Care Guide.
Is the display flashing “F” and numbers?
If “F” and a number are alternately flashing on the display, refer to the following table for possible solutions.
Operational cooktop sounds
Is there a low humming? This occurs when
cooking at high power. The cause of this is the amount of energy which is transmitted from the appliance to the cookware. This sound will quiet or go away when the power is turned down.
Is there a crackling? This sound occurs
when cookware is used which consists of different materials. The noise is caused by vibrations in the joint faces between the dif ferent layers. It may change depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.
-
Is there a fan noise? The electronics re
­quire a controlled temperature in order to function reliably. The cooktop is fitted with a fan which runs at various speeds according to the temperature detected. The fan may also continue to run even after the cooktop has been switched off, if the temperature it detects is too high.

TOUCH CONTROL BOARD ERROR CODES
Error Description
U400 U400 appears static on the display and indicates an acoustic signal when the electronics have been
connected erroneously at 400 V. (This warning appears when the measured voltage on the power grids reaches 280 volts, and cases have occurred in which this warning appears at 250 volts). The electric company can divert the supplied voltage by ±7%. Disconnect the cooktop from the AC line. The failure disappears when the incorrect voltage is corrected.
F8 F and 8 blink alternately on the display corresponding to the cooking zone if the maximum cooking
time has been exceeded. The times depend of the power level and go from 1 to 10 hours.
E “E” blinks alternately with the power level or the residual heat indicator when the corresponding sen-
sor has been pressed for too long (> 5 seconds), thereby sounding the acoustic signal. When the “on” sensor is pressed for more than this time, “E” appears on all displays. It can occur due to liquids spilled over the sensor zone, or due to an object that has been left on top. The indicator disappears when the problem has been removed from the sensor and any other key is pressed.
F2 F and 2 blink alternately on the corresponding display if the NTC temperature of the touch control is
excessively high (>100°C). If F2 appears, cooking zones 1 and 4 will not work.
F4 F and 4 blink alternately on the corresponding display if the NTC temperature of the touch control is
excessively high (>100°C). If F4 appears, none of the 4 cooking zones will work.
ErXY The touch control has an internal failure (except with Er32).
Er32 This warning occurs when a touch control of a 2l cooktop is connected to a 4l cooktop, or vice versa.
Check the replacement part.
Cl The line power supply voltage is too low.
