Over Temperature Switch Off
Due to the control panel being close to the front two zone it can get too
hot to touch if the pans have been badly placed so the bottom edge of the
pan is close to but not touching the control buttons.
To prevent the cooktop control unit from damage, the control monitors the
temperature and switches off ,if the control panel exceeds 60ºC. All 4 zone
displays show ´t`, until the cooktop cools down.
The following safety functions are available to avoid unintended operations
of the cooktop control.
Sensor Safety Cut Off
To prevent the appliance from unwanted, random sensor operation, sensor
monitoring is included.

monitoring routine indicates with a beep, that wrong operation (pot or other
object placed on the button, sensor failure, etc.) and switches off the

TOUCH CONTROL SAFETY FUNCTIONS

After the cooktop cools the ´t` displays will be erased and the cooktop
control enters standby mode. This means that the user can reactivate the
appliance by touching .
Residual Heat Functions .
After the cooktopis turned off when cooking is finished, there is some heat
stored in the vitroceramic glass called residual heat. The cooktop can calculate
roughly how hot the glass is. If the calculated temperature is higher than
+ 60 ° C, the corresponding zone display will flash an ´H` symbol. The
residual heat display is shown as long as the calculated heater temperature
is higher than + 60 ° C. .
The display of the residual heat has the lowest priority and is overwritten
by every other display value such as safety turn off's and displaying error
codes. .
COOKTOP RESET .
When the cooktop is first turned on after installation or after a power outage
during operation, the cooktop will display a flashing ´H` on all or some zone
displays. .
Which displays flash an ´H` depends on mode of operation when the power
outage happened.
This is due to the cooktop retaining zone heat information in its memory, this
is not a fault and is normal. .
To reset the Hob, press and hold the top left zone , bottom left zone and
the buttons at the same time for roughly 2 seconds.
hold these buttons
to reset the Hob.

Turn on triple zones
is set to level 1–9 and the heater is selected, the dot is on.
If is pressed, the buzzer signal sounds and the Dual Zone Indicator is
statically on. If is pressed once again, there is another acoustical signal
and the triple zone is switched on. The Triple Zone Indicator will be
illuminated and the triple zone will be energized.
After touching once again, the triple ring of the zone will be switched
off again. Each operation causes a status change of the dual/triple zones
following in this manner (Dual zone on, triple zone on, all extended zones
off, dual zone on, triple zone on, dual zone on, etc. ...)

Cookware with rough bottoms should not be used since these can scratch
the ceramic surface. The bottom of the cookware should be as thick and
flat as possible. Before use, make sure that cookware bottoms are clean
and dry.
Always place the cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on.
If possible, always place the lids on the cookware. Bottom of the cookware
must not be smaller or larger than the cooking zones, they should be at the
proper size as indicated below.
Before cleaning the cooktop, first disconnect from the electrical supply
Then ensure that there is no residual heat stored in the appliance. Vitroceramic
glass is very resistant to high temperature and overheating. If there is residual
heat stored in the appliance, ´H` is flashing in the zone Display. In order
to avoid burns, let the appliance cool down.
CLEANING THE CERAMIC COOKTOP .
Before you begin cleaning make sure that the cooktop is switched off.
Remove spillages and other types of encrustations.
Dust or food particles can be removed with a damp cloth.
If you use a detergent, please make sure that it is not abrasive, Do not use
abrasive cleaners or scouring powders as these can damage the ceramic
surface of the cooktop.
All traces of the cleaner must be removed with a damp cloth.
Dust, fat and liquids from food that has boiled over must be removed as
soon as possible.
If they are allowed to harden they become increasingly difficult to remove.

This is especially true in the case of sugar/syrup mixtures which could
permanently pit the surface of the cooktop if left to burn on it.
If any of these products has melted on the ceramic surface, you should
remove it immediately (when the surface is still hot) by using a scraper to
avoid any permanent damage to the surface of the hob (available from the
s t o r e w h e r e y o u p u r c h a s e d t h i s a p p l i a n c e ) .
Do not put articles on the cooktop which can melt: i.e. plastic, aluminium
foil, sugar, sugar syrup mixtures etc.
Avoid using a knife or other sharp utensil as these may damage the ceramic
surface.
Do not use steel wool or an abrasive sponge which could scratch the surface
permanently.
