A Warning and Safety Instructions
1 General Information
Service and repair work should only be carried out by a suitably qualified
electrician (with specialist training, knowledge and experience, and recent
related work experience) in accordance with all appropriate local and national
safety regulations.
Servicing, modification, testing and maintenance of electrical appliances
should only be carried out in accordance with all appropriate legal
requirements, accident prevention regulations and valid standards.
Unless absolutely necessary, e.g., fault finding with supply voltage, working
on a machine connected to the power supply should always be avoided. If
working on a machine with an applied voltage at a potentially dangerous level
is unavoidable, special safety measures must be taken into consideration and
complied with.
Before starting any service work, the machine must be disconnected from the
power supply. Suitable measurements must be made to ensure that this is
the case.
Even with the machine switched off, voltage may be applied to some
components.
A general visual check should always be carried out.
There may be a risk of injury due to protruding parts. Protective goggles
should be worn.
There may be a risk of injury due to sharp edges. Protective gloves should be
worn and the edge protection, mat. no. 05057680, should be used.
2 Touch Current Measurement
Note:
On machines with a ground connection, touch current leakage
measurements should be carried out on all accessible conductive parts that
are not connected to ground.
Warning!
Touch current measurement should only be carried out after the ground
connection of the appliance under test has been checked and found to be
satisfactory! Dangerous voltages may exist on defective machines as well as
on accessible conductive parts that are not connected to ground!
Note:
Touch current measurement should be carried out on the following
accessible conductive parts:
None.

Danger!
These machines should not be installed or operated in any area where there
is a risk of explosion. Before starting any service work, disconnect the gas
safety socket (if it has an additional tap, this must also be closed) or close
the tap on a fixed connection.
If the gas supply is to be disconnected, the following must be complied with:
On cooktops with a gas safety socket, disconnect the gas safety hose.
On cooktops with a fixed gas connection with tap, install a stopper on
the gas pipe after disconnection and ensure that it is properly sealed.
Closing the tap alone is not sufficient.
Note:
Service and repair work should only be carried out by suitably qualified
persons in accordance with all appropriate local and national safety
regulations. Ensure that all special regulations applying to gas installations
and different types of gas are also complied with.

2 Function
2.1 Rapid Ignition
With rapid ignition, it is no longer necessary to hold the switch knob pressed in at
the largest flame setting until the thermocouple is sufficiently heated. The switch
knob can immediately be set to any desired flame setting and released.
The built-in electronic makes rapid ignition possible. As soon as the switch on the
burner tap is activated, the electronic applies a voltage of approximately 65 volts
DC (attraction voltage) to the electromagnet solenoid for 100 milliseconds.
The solenoid valve then opens the gas path.
At the same time, the electronic activates the ignition transformer, the ignition
spark is developed and the flame is ignited. When the thermocouple has heated
sufficiently, it applies the necessary holding voltage of 0.8 volts DC to the
solenoid and the gas path remains open.
2.2 Thermocouple
Flame monitoring and ignition control of each burner is via a thermocouple. The
thermocouple is heated by the flame and a thermoelectric effect produces a
voltage signal which is passed to the electronic. This then provides a holding
voltage of 0.8 volts DC which is applied to the solenoid to keep the gas path
open.
If the thermocouple cools, the holding voltage is no longer applied to the solenoid
and the automatic re-ignition cycle starts; see Section 010-2.3.
2.3 Automatic Re-Ignition
If the flame is extinguished for some reason, e.g., due to a draft of air or water
splash, the thermocouple cools. This is registered by the electronic, which then
acts to try to ignite the flame again. If the re-ignition attempts are not successful
within 10 seconds, the gas path to the burner is closed.
