TOUCH CONTROL SAFETY FUNCTIONS
The follo ing safety functions are available to avoid unintended operations
of the hob control.
Se sor Safety Cut Off
To prevent the appliance from un anted, 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 rong operation (pot or other
object placed on the button, sensor failure, etc.) and s itches off the
appliance.
The safety turn off causes that the hob control is turned off to the S-Mode.
An ´F` ill flash in all heater displays.
If residual heat is present, it ill be displayed in all other heater displays.
The hob control ill then go in S-Mode. At the same time a buzzer signal
appears. After 10 minutes the acoustic signaling ill stop.
If there is no erroneous operation present any longer, both the visual and
the acoustic signal ill disappear.

19
Over Temperature Switch Off
Due to the placement of the control is very close 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, hich makes the glass and
the buttons untouchable ithout get burned the finger.
To prevent the hob control unit from damage, the control monitors all the
time the temperature and s itches off in case of overheating emergency.
It is indicated in the heater 4 heater display ith the letter ´t` for all the time
until the temperature decreases.
After the temperature falling, the ´t` displays ill be erased and the hob
control unit falls back into the S-Mode. This means that the user can
reactivate the appliance by touching .
Operati g Time Limitatio s
The hob 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 ill
turn off automatically (for 10 sec a ´0` is displayed, after ards the residual
heat). The limit of the operating time depends of the selected heat setting.
If a timer as associated ith the heater than a ´00` ill be displays on the
timer display for 10 sec. After ards 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.
