OPERATING PRINCIPLE (Fig. 1)
It exploits the electromagnetic properties of most cooking
vessels.
The coil (inductor) which produces the electromagnetic field is
operated and controlled by the electronic circuit.
The heat is transmitted to food by the cooking vessel itself.
The cooking process takes place as described below.
- loss of heat is minimum (high efficiency)
- the system stops automatically when the vessel is removed or
even just lifted from the hob
- the electronic circuit guarantees maximum flexibility and fine
adjustments.

Installation
All operations relative to installation (electric connection) should
be carried out by skilled personnel in conformity with the rules
in force.
As for the specific instructions see part pertaining to installer.
Switching the Touch Control ON/OFF “Z”
After mains voltage is applied the control initializes for approx.
1second before it is ready for operation.
After a reset all displays and LEDs glow for approx. 1 second.
When this time is over all displays and LEDs extinguish and the
control is in the stand-by mode.
Press the ON/OFF (1) button to switch the touch control on.
The cooking zone displays show a static “0“.
If a cooking zone is in the “hot“ status, the display shows a static
“H“ instead of “0“. The bottom right dot is blinking in 1 second
intervals on all cooking zone displays to indicate that no cooking
zone is selected at the moment.
After switching-ON the electronic control remains activated for
20 seconds. If no cooking zone or timer selection follows within
this period of time, the electronic control automatically switches
back into the stand-by-mode. The control can only be switched-
ON if it identifies the ON/OFF key alone being operated. Should it
recognize key activation other than that, the control remains in
the standby- mode.
If the child safety feature is active when switching on, all cooking
zones show “L“, (LOCKED). If the cooking zones are in a “hot“
status, the display shows “L“ and “H“ in alternation. When the
Touch Control is ON it can be switched- OFF at any time by
operating the ON/OFF key. This is also valid if the control has been
locked (activated child safety feature).
The ON/OFF key has always priority in the switch-OFF function.
Automatic switch-OFF
When the control is ON it automatically sw itches-OFF after
20seconds if no cooking zone or select key has been operated
within this period of time. If case of a cooking zone selection,
the automatic switch- OFF time is composed of 10 seconds
deselection time for a cooking zone at setting“0“ and 10 seconds
switch-OFF time.
Switching a cooking zone ON and OFF
First place the pan in the chosen cooking zone. If the pan is not
present the system cannot be switched on the correspondent
zone.
If the touch control is switched on, the cooking zone can be
selected by pressing the button (4) of the corresponding zone.
The display (5) of the zone selected lights up, while the remaining
displays are dimmed. if the cooking zone is “hot”, “H” and “0” are
alternately displayed.
Press the PLUS (3) or MINUS (2) button to select a setting and the
zone will begin to heat up.
Once the cooking zone has been selected, the setting can be
selected by keeping the PLUS (3) button pressed down. The
setting begins at level 1 and increases by 1 level every 0.4
seconds. When setting “9” is reached, the setting will not be
changed further.
If the setting level has been selected using the MINUS (2) button,
the start level is “9“ (maximum level). Keep the button pressed
down to lower the active level by 1 every 0.4 seconds. When
setting “0” is reached, there will be no further setting changed.
The setting can only be changed by pressing the MINUS (2) or
PLUS (3) button again.
Switching a cooking zone off
Select the zone to be switched off using the corresponding
button (4). The display (5) of the zone selected lights up, while the
remaining displays are dimmed. Press the Cooking zone (4) and
MINUS (2) buttons at the same time and the setting level of the
zone is changed to 0. Alternatively, the MINUS button (2) can be
used to reduce the setting level to 0.
If a cooking zone is “hot”, “H” and “0” will be alternately
displayed.
Switching-OFF all cooking zones
Immediate switching-OFF of all cooking zones can be achieved
anytime by means of the ON/OFF key. In the standby- mode an
“H“ appears on all cooking zones which are “hot“. All other
cooking zone displays are not illuminated.
Wattage settings
The output of the cooking zones can be set in 9 steps which
are indicated by the figures “1“ thru “9“ by means of LED
sevensegment-displays.
In the cooking zone located on the front left, when selecting
the power level 9 and after 30 minutes operating, the power
will decrease slightly for safety reasons. In case more power is

required, select the boost level (“P”)
Boost function
After selection of a respective cooking zone, the boost function
can be activated by selecting the power level 9 and then pressing
PLUS (3) button . By means of this function certain cooking zones
are enabled to receive power over the nominal (the number of
boostable cooking zone depends on the power available on a
partial modules which is to be lees than total hob power ). If the
desired cooking zone has the capacity to activate the booster,
the display shows a “P“ symbol. In case the available power is
not enough the cooking stage display flashes for 3 seconds on
the cooking zone which needs to be reduced and which requires
automatic adjustment.
The boosting time is limited to 5 min to protect cooking utensils.
After the booster is switched off automatically, the cooking zone
continues operation on power level “9”. The booster can be
reactivated after some minutes.
In case that the pan is removed from the cooking zone during
boosting, the boosting function remains active and boosting time
continues.
The power management is based on on the principle that the last
entry is requested by the induction as top priority. That means that
previous actions and settings also made for the other cooking
zones are reversed automatically, if necessary.
- If induction identifies the necessity of reducing power at a
cooking zone, the selected cooking stage flashes on that cooking
zone providing a correction period of 3 sec before the power is
reduced automatically to a minimum cooking stage.
- If the setting is adjusted within the correction period, the power
management checks the settings again. Should a new setting lead
to further power reduction, the correction period starts again.
- If no automatic correction needs being made to the cooking zone
setting, the flashing stops immediately and the original value
remains as a steady display indication. Should the situation
change again on the power reduced cooking zone, no automatic
power increase is effected.
Residual heat indicator
It is meant to indicate to the user that the glass ceramic has a
dangerous touch temperature in the circumference of a cooking
zone. The temperature will be determined following a mathematical
model and the remaining residual heat will be indicated by means
of “H” on the corresponding 7-segment display.
Heating-up and cooling down will be calculated dependent on:
·the selected setting („0“ to „9“)
·the ON/OFF time.
After switching-OFF the cooking zone the respective display
shows “H” until the assigned cooking zone temperature is
mathematically in a uncritical level. (≤ 60°C).
Automatic power OFF function (operating time limitation)
Dependent on the selected setting, every cooking zone will be
switched-OFF after a defined maximum operation time if no
operation of the assigned cooking zone follows within this time
period. Every change of the cooking zone condition (by means of
the PLUS-, MINUS- key) puts back the maximum operation time
of this cooking zone to the initial value of the operating time
limitation.
Protection against unintended switching-ON
·If the electronic control realizes a continuous operation of keys
for approx. 10 seconds, it switches OFF automatically. The control
sends out an audible failure signal for 10 seconds, so that the
user can remove the object which has been mistakenly placed
onto the operation surface. The displays show the failure code “
E R 0 3 “ . If the failure carries on for more than 10seconds, only
the code “E R 0 3 “ will be displayed as long as the failure will
be recognized by the electronic control. If the cooking zone is in
the “hot” status, “H“ will appear on the display in alteration with
the failure notice.
·If no cooking zone will be activated within 20 seconds after
switching-ON by means of the Power-key, the control switches
back from the ON-condition into the stand-by-mode.
·When the control is switched- ON the ON/OFF-key has priority
over all other keys, so that the control can be switched-OFF
anytime, even in case of multiple or continuous operation of keys.
·In the stand-by mode a continous operation will not be signalized.
However, before the electronic control can be switched-ON
again, it has to recognize that all keys are not operated.
Key lock (child safety feature)
◊ Child safety feature:
Key lock:
After switching-ON the control the child safety feature can be
activated. To achieve this it is necessary to simultaneously
operate the front right cooking zone- select-key and the
MINUS-key and then press the front right cooking-zone-select key
again. There will be an “L”, meaning LOCKED (child safety feature
against unintended switching-ON). If a cooking zone is in the “hot”
condition, “L” and “H” will be displayed in alternation.
This course of operation has to take place within a period of 10
seconds, no other key than described above may be operated.
Otherwise the input will be interrupted because of incompleteness,
the cook top will not be locked then.
The electronic control remains in a locked condition until it gets
unlocked, even if the control has been switched-OFF and -ON in
the meantime. Also a reset of the control (after a voltage drop)
does not cancel the key lock.
Unlocking for cooking purposes: :
To unlock and operate the control it is required to operate the front
right cooking- zone select- key and the MINUS-key simultaneously.
“L“ (LOCKED) in the display extinguishes and all cooking zones
show “0“ with a blinking dot. Should a cooking zone be “hot”,
“H” is displayed instead of the static “0”. After switching- OFF the
control, the child safety feature is active again.
Cancelling the key lock:
After switching-ON the control the child safety feature can be
deactivated. Here it is necessary to simultaneously operate the
front right cooking-zone-select key and the MINUS-key and then
operate the MINUS-key alone. If all steps have been carried out
in the right order within 10 seconds the key lock gets cancelled
and the control is OFF. Otherwise the input will be considered
incomplete, the control remains locked and switches-OFF after
20 seconds.
After a renewed switching-ON by means of the ON/OFF key all
displays show „0“, the display dots are blinking and the control is
ready for cooking. If a cooking zone is in “hot” mode, “0” and “H”
will be alternately displayed.
Audible signal (buzzer)
While the control is in operation the following activities will be
signaled by means of a buzzer:
·normal key activation with a short sound signal.
·continuous operation of keys over a longer period of time
(_10 seconds ) with a longer, intermittent sound signal.
Timer function (optional)
The timer function is realized in two versions:
·Stand-alone timer 1..99 min: sound signal when the time is
over (= minute minder). This function is only available when the
cooktop is not in operation, i.e. when there is no cooking.
·Cooking zone timer 1..99 min: sound signal when the time is over,
four cooking zones can be programmed independently.

Timer as minute minder (stand-alone):
·If the control is ON and no cooking zone selected, the standalone-
timer can be used by simultaneously operating MINUS (2) and
PLUS (3) keys.
·Adjustment range (0-99min), it can be set in 1-minute steps with
any key, starting at 1 up to 99 (end stop) with the minus-key
starting at 99 down to 0 (end stop)
·Continuous activation of the plusor minus-key results in a
dynamic increase of the adjustment speed up to maximum value
without sound signal.
·when the plus- or minus key is released in the meantime, the
adjustment speed starts again from a (low) initial value.
·adjustment can be made with a continously activated plus- or
minus-key or by tip-operation (with sound signal) After the timer
is set the time runs down according to the adjustment. When the
time is over there is a sound signal and the timer display blinks.
The sound signal will be stopped
·automatically after 2 minutes and/or
·by operating any key.
Then the blinking of the timer display stops and the display
extinguishes.
Switching-OFF/changing the timer
·The timer can be changed or switched-off anytime by
simultaneously operating MINUS (2) and PLUS (3) keys. (with
sound signal). The timer will be switched off by counting down to
“0” with the minus-key.
For 6 seconds the timer display remains at “0“ before it will be
switched-off.
·If the control will be switched- ON by means of the Power-key,
the stand-alone timer will be switched-off also.
Timer programming on cooking zones
When the control is switched- ON an independent timer can be
programmed for every cooking zone.
·By selecting a cooking zone with the cooking-zone-selectkey (4),
then selecting the setting and, finally, operating MINUS(2) and
PLUS (3) keys simultaneously, the timer can be programmed as a
switch-off function for a cooking zone.
·During timer programming, the pilot light (6) of the selected
cooking zone blinks.
·When the timer has run down, there is a sound signal and
the timer display shows “00“ statically, the assigned cooking
zone timer LED blinks. The programmed cooking zone will
be cut off and „H“ will be displayed if the coking zone is hot,
otherwise a stroke will show in the cooking zone display.
The sound signal and the blinking of the timer LED will be stopped
·automatically after 2 minutes
·by operating any key.
The timer display extinguishes.
·The basic behaviour follows the description of the “minute
minder” (stand-alone-timer).
Cooking vessels (Fig. 3)
- a magnet-attracting vessel may be a suitable vessel for induction
cooking
- prefer vessels which are especially declared to be suitable for
induction cooking
- flat- and thickbottomed vessels
- a vessel with the same diameter as zones ensures the maximum
exploitation of power
- a smaller vessel reduces power exploitation, but does not cause
any energy loss We would anyhow not recommend the use of
vessels with diameters smaller than 10 cm.
- stainless-steel vessels with multi-layer or ferritic stainless-steel
bottoms when specifically suited for induction cooking
- cast-iron preferably enamel-bottomed vessels to avoid
scratching the pyroceram surface
- we do not recommend the use of any glass, ceramic,
earthenware, alluminium, copper or non-magnetic (austenitic)
stainlesssteel vessels.
Maintenance (Fig. 4)
By means of a scraper immediately remove any alluminium foil
bits, food spills, grease splashes, sugar marks and other high
sugarcontent food from the surface in order to avoid damaging
the hob.
Subsequently clean the surface with some towel and appropriate
product, rinse with water and dry by means of a clean cloth. Under
no circumstance should sponges or abrasive cloths be used; also
avoid using aggressive chemical detergents such as oven sprays
and spot removers.
