Electronic circuit’s temperature sensor
There is a temperature sensor situated inside of the hob top’s cooling
unit that constantly measures the temperature of the electronic circuits
that are contained in the hob.
o In the event of the electronic circuits overheating, this will be
noted by the temperature sensor.
24
o If the temperature sensor records a temperature that is above
105°C, it will reduce the power of the cooking zone.
o If the temperature sensor records a temperature that is above
120°C, the cooking zone will be switched off and the
corresponding cooking zone indicator will show the error code
E2.
o IMPORTANT: If the hob temper ature sensor consistently
reduces the power of the cooking zones or shows the error code
E2. This indicates that the hob has not been installed properly or
the opening for air ventilation is not large enough. Steps should
be taken to rectify this immediately.
Cooking zone temperature control
A temperature sensor is situated in the middle of each cooking zone
and is in contact with the glass.
o In the event of a cooking zone overheating, this will be noted by
the temperature sensor.
o If the temperature sensor records a temperature that is above
235°C, it will reduce the power of the zone.
o If the temperature sensor records a temperature that is above
255°C, the cooking zone will be switched off.
o A cooking zone overheating could be caused by an empty
saucepan being placed on an active zone.
o If the bottom of the pan is not fully in contact with the middle of
a cooking zone, then the cooking zone temperature control may
not function correctly.
Configuration of the cooking zone
The cooktop is provided with the right configuration for each
cooking zone. However it could happen that if one of the cooking
zone display shows the failure code “ E - 4“, a new configuration
would be necessary.
25
Prior to introduction of the configuration all pots and pans must be
removed from the cooking zone and a pan suitable for induction
should be available.
Within 2 minutes after voltage application the configuration can be
initiated. The Touch control remains switched off.
All displays remain turned off.
Press the minus key (4) and hold it.
Press all the selection keys (2) available starting anti-clockwise with
the cooking zone front right. Every action is acknowledged by a
signal tone.
The cooking zone displays (3) indicate a „C“ for non-configured
cooking zones and “-“ for configured ones.
The cooking zone to be configured can be selected via the cooking
zone select key. The symbol „C“ starts flashing on the
corresponding display when carried out.
Now a pan must be placed on the relevant cooking zone within 20
sec to enable the electronic to detect the correct position. If the
position is detected correctly, the display indicates “-“.
This procedure is applied to every cooking zone until the
configuration menu is ended automatically after the last cooking
zone has been configured. The configuration menu can also e
ended by pressing the power key. If no key is pressed, the menu
ends within 2 min.
Ready configured cooking zones cannot be configured again in case
an error has occurred, e.g. if the pan had been placed on the wrong
cooking zone, the entire configuration can be cancelled.
This requires pressing the minus key for at least 2 sec which results
in the symbol “E” to appear on all cooking zone displays. The „E“ on
the cooking zone displays continues flashing until all the cooking
zone have restored the initial state and changes into “C” right
afterwards. The cooking zones may now be configured anew.
26
Hob guidelines
o The first few times the hob top is used, it may give off an acrid,
burning smell. This smell will disappear completely with repeated
use.
o The hob surface is fitted with cooking areas of different diametre
and power.
o The positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly marked
on the hob top. The saucepans must be positioned exactly on
these zones for efficient heating to occur. Pans should have the
same diametre as the cooking zone that they are being used on.
o You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can
scratch the ceramic surface.
o Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are
clean and dry.
o When cold, the bottom of the pans should be slightly concave, as
they expand when hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This
will allow the heat to transfer more easily.
o The best thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2 – 3 mm of
enamelled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich
type bottoms.
o If these rules are not followed, then there will be a great waste
of energy.
o Preferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower
heat.
o Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water as
possible to reduce cooking times.
o Food or liquid that has high sugar content may damage the hob
top if it comes into contact with the ceramic hob surface. Any
spillages should be wiped up immediately, however this may not
prevent the hob surface from becoming damaged.
27
o IMPORTANT: The hob surface is tough; however it is not
unbreakable a nd can be damaged. Especially if pointed or hard
objects are allowed to fall on it with some force.
o DO NOT USE THE HOB IF THE SURFACE BECOMES BROKEN
OR CRACKED. YOU SHOULD CONTACT THE BAUMATIC
SERVICE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY.
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning operations must only be carried out
when the hob is cool.
The appliance should be disconnected from your
mains supply before commencing any cleaning
process.
Cleaning the ceramic hob top
Any residues that are left on the hob top surface from cleaning
agents will damage it. You should remove any residues with
warm water mixed with a little washing up liquid.
Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the hob surface;
you should clean it using warm water mixed with a little washing
up liquid.
Although it is easier to clean some deposits whilst the hob
surface is still warm. You should take care not to burn yourself if
cleaning the hob surface when they it is still warm.
After each use
o Wipe the appliance over with a damp cloth.
o Dry the appliance by rubbing the surface with a clean cloth.
