between ´0` and ´9`.
Lock Mode VR-Mode The hob control is locked.

EN -14-
If there is any residual heat from a zone, this will be indicated in the corresponding
zone setting display.
Selecting a Zone
If a single heating zone is chosen with the corresponding activate/deactivate zone
button the decimal point of the zone setting display flashes. For the selected zone,
you can set the heat level between 1-9 by pressing the heat setting buttons
or .
The buttons must be pressed within 3 seconds, otherwise the zone selection is erased
and the heat setting dot will disappear (decimal point). If there is no further operation
within 10 seconds, the zone reverts back to stand-by-mode.
The heat setting can always be changed by pressing or . The available settings
are between 1-9.
Each button operation or each display change is accompanied by a buzzer sound.
Set Cooking Level with and without Heat Boost
All zones are equipped with heat boost functionality.
If the heat boost is active, the zone will be operated with maximum power for the period
of the heat boost time, which is dependent on the selected heat setting. This is
indicated through a flashing ‘A’, alternating with the heat setting value (e.g. 0.5
seconds ‘A’and 0.5 seconds ‘9’) in the zone setting display. Once the heat boost time
has ended only the zone setting display will be indicated.
If the heat boost is required, it can be activated by pressing starting from level 0.
After setting the heat to level 9, an alternating ‘A’ and ‘9’ will be displayed. This
means that level 9 and heat boost are now active.
The heat boost can be turned off by pressing until heat setting ‘0’appears.
Turn Off Individual Zones
A zone can be turned off in 2 different ways:
•Simultaneous pressing of and buttons
•Reducing the heat setting to ´0` by pressing the button

EN -15-
Simultaneous Operation of and Buttons
The corresponding zone must be chosen with the activate/deactivate zone button
, the decimal point of the related zone setting display flashes. To turn off the zone
and must be pressed simultaneously. A buzzer sounds and´0`appears in the
zone setting display.
If there is any residual heat from the zone,this will be indicated by a ´H` in the
zone setting display.
Reduction of the Heat Setting to ´0` by Operating Button.
The zone can also be turned off by reducing the heat setting to ´0`. When azone
setting display indicates ´0`, the associated decimal point of the zone will also be
turned off.
If there is any residual heat from the zone,this will be indicated by a ´H` in the
zone setting display.
Key Lock
The key lock function is used to set ‘save mode’ on the hob during operation. It will
not be possible to make any adjustments by touching the buttons (for example heat
settings). It will only be possible to switch the appliance off.
The lock function is active, if the key bock button is pressed for at least 2 seconds.
This operation is acknowledged by abuzzer. After successful operation, the key
lock indicator flashes and the zone is locked.
The zone can only be locked in operating-mode (B-Mode).

EN -16-
If the zone is locked, only the button can be used. All other buttons are blocked
from use. If any other button is pressed in the locked mode, the buzzer sounds and
the key lock indicator flashes. Only the switch off by operation by using is
possible. However, if you switch off the appliance, you can not restart it again without
unlocking.
After pressing for at least 2 seconds, the key lock indicator disappears. Now, the
hob control is unlocked and can be operated in a normal manner.
Child Lock
Child lock can be used to lock the appliance in a complicated multi-step process. Child
lock (and unlocking) is only available in stand-by-mode.
Press until the buzzer sounds, then press and simultaneously for at least 0.5
seconds, but no longer than 1 second. The appliance can then be locked by pressing
both zone setting displays show ´L` as a confirmation.
None of the buttons can be used as long as the appliance is locked.
Child lock can be deactivated in the same way that it is activated. Press until a beep
is heard and then press and simultaneously for at least 0.5 seconds. After this
press only the button. To confirm unlocking, the ´L` symbol in the displays will be
cleared immediately.

EN -17-
Touch Control Safety Functions
The following safety functions are available to avoid unintended operations.
Sensor Safety Cut Off
To prevent the appliance from unwanted button operation, button monitoring is included.
In cases where one or more buttons are pressed for longer than 12 seconds, there is an
audible noise to indicate an incorrect operation (pot or other object placed on the button,
sensor failure, etc.) and the appliance switches off.
This "safety turn off" causes the hob to go into stand-by-mode. An ´F` will flash in all
zone setting displays.
If residual heat is present, it will be displayed on all other zone setting displays.
The hob control will then go into stand-by-mode. At the same time a buzzer sounds.
After 10 minutes the buzzer will stop.
Once the incorrect operation has been cleared, the audible and visible warning signals
will stop.
Over Temperature Switch Off
Due to the controls being very close to the heating zones in the middle of the front of
the hob, it can occur that an incorrectly placed pot is not sensed by the sensor safety
cut off (not covering a button) and heats up the hob to a very high temperature, which
makes the glass and the buttons dangerous to touch.
To prevent the hob control unit from damage, the controls constantly monitor the temperature
and switches off if overheating occurs.
This is indicated in the zone setting displays with the letter ´t` time until the temperature
decreases.

EN -18-
Once the temperature decreases ‘t’ will no longer be displayed and the hob control
unit reverts back into stand-by-mode. This means that the user can reactivate the
appliance by touching .
Operating Time Limitations
The hob control unit has a limitation on the operating time. If the heat setting for a zone
has not been changed for a certain length of time, the zone will turn off automatically for
10 seconds, a ´0` is displayed. Some residual heat may be present. The limit of the
operating time depends on the selected heat setting.
After a zone has been automatically turned off, as described above, it can be used at
the maximum operating time for theheat setting that is applied.
Residual Heat Functions
After all cooking processes there is some heat stored in the vitroceramic glass called
residual heat. The appliance can calculate roughly how hot the glass is. If the
calculated temperature is higher than + 60 ° C, then this will be indicated in the
corresponding zone setting display. After the zone or the hob control has been turned
off, the residual heat display is shown as long as the calculated zone temperature is >
+ 60°C.
The residual heat indicator has the lowest priority and is overwritten by every other
display value and during "safety switch offs"and the displaying of error codes. When
voltage is supplied to the hob after a power interruption, the residual heat display
indicator flashes. If a zone hasa residual heat of greater + 60°C before the power
interruption occurred, the display will flash while the residual heat remains or until the
zone is selected for another cooking operation.
Hints and Tips
Important: When ceramic zones are operated in higher heat settings, the heated
areas may be seen switching on and off. This is due to a safety device, which
prevents the glass from overheating. Some switching on and off when cooking at high
temperatures is quite normal, causes no damage to the hob and little delay in cooking
times.

EN -19-
WARNING:
•Never operate the hob without pans on the cooking zone.
• Only use flat pans with a sufficiently thick base.
•Make sure the bottom of the pan is dry before placing it on the hob.
•While the cooking zone is in operation, it is important to ensure that the pan is
centered correctly above the zone.
•In order to conserve energy, never use a pan with a different diameter to the zone
being used.
