USE
Model with knob control switches
Switching on
Set the power by rotating the knob, taking into consideration that the highest number corresponds with
the maximum power. If the hob is fitted with extended zones, the outer heating element can be switched
on turning the knob up to the end of rotation.
The pilot light is switched ON when at least one element is on. The pilot light is switched ON when the top
temperature at indicated spot is higher than 50°C.
Model with touch control switches
Switching on
The control is switched on by pressing the On/Off key (key 6) for 1 second, causing a sound signal it will
not turn on while the key lock function (key 10) is active(indicated by Led11).
The heating element remain switched off (all the digits at 0) until a power level is selected. If this is not
done within 10 seconds the control switches off automatically.
Selecting the cooking level
With the control turned on, the first time that the (+) sensor (key1) is touched and heating element is
turned on to the selected level.
The (+) sensor raises the cooking level to a maximum of 9, and the (-) (key 1) sensor reduces the cooking
level to 0 (heating element switched off).
If a sensor is continuously pressed, the action involved is repeated every half second.
If we start with the (-) sensor the cooking level will be the highest (9).
Switching the double cooking area
The control (key 3) or (key 12) can be used to activate 2 heating elements with a double cooking area and
one of them with triple area, with 2 sensors to activate or cancel it. Each cooking area has an associated
LED (Led 4 and 13). The selection of the heating element associated with the second cooking area is
made in the factory through the configuration software.
Touch the double area selector to select/deselect the double cooking area. If one heating-element has 1
double and 1 triple areas the product will be:
1st touch: the double area is selected
2nd touch: the triple area is selected
3rd touch: double and triple areas are not selected.
When the double cooking area is selected the associated LED (Led 4 or 13) turns on, although its heating
element has not been activated.
Activating the heat-up function
When cooking level 9 is selected (this function can only be operated from this level) touching the (+) (key
1) sensor, the decimal point on the display (5) blinks for 10 seconds, during which the desired power level
mustbeselected(between1and8).Afterthistimethereisasoundsignal,andthedecimalpointremains
fixed, indicating the heat-up function is ON. Should the selected level be 0 or 9, the heat-up function is
cancelled.
With the heat-up function activated, by touching the (+) sensor the duration of this function extends to the
new power value selected; if the power is 9, the heat-up function is cancelled. When the heat-up function
is finished, there is a sound signal, the decimal point of the display goes out and the element remains at
the chosen power level.
Cancelling the heat-up function
Touch the (-) (key 1) sensor while the heat-up function is ON to cancel it. The cooking level goes down.
When the heat-up function is cancelled, there is a sound signal and the decimal point on the display
goesout.Ablinking“H”willappearwiththecookinglevel0,whenthetemperatureoftheheatingelement
reaches 65°C. It appears fixed if the touch control is switched off.
Setting the Key lock function
Keep the Key Lock (Key 10) sensor pressed to activate/cancel the keyboard locking function. If the LED
(11) associated with the Key Lock sensor is on, the keyboard is locked.
The locking function can be activated when the cooking levels are activated or when the cook top is off.
If the cook top is on, The Key Lock function locks all the sensors except the On/Off (Key 6) general sensor
and the key lock sensor.
When the cook top is turned off, the Key Lock function blocks all the sensors, including the general On/Off
switch, except the key lock sensor.
Cancellation of the Key Lock function
If the keyboard is locked (the LED 11) associated with the Key Lock (Key 10) sensor is on, keep the Key
Lock sensor pressed for 1 second to cancel the locking function and the indicator light will go out.
Residual heat indicator
While the temperature on the cook top surface is above 65°C, this condition will be shown in the

butthepowerlevelis0,theassociateddisplaywillshowalternately“H”and“0”.
To generate a temperature above 65°C a heating element has to be in operation for a certain time, which
depends on the selected power level. Once this time is passed, the residual heat warming will come into
operation when the element is switched off.
If the minimum time needed to exceed 65°C is over, the length of time the residual heat indicator remains
in operation is a function of the time the element has remained turned on at a certain power level.

Timer operation
The timer is activated by pressing the (+) or (-) (Key 8) timer sensors. It can be set to any value between
1 and 99 minutes and can modifies at any moment.
To cancel the timer, select the <00> value using the (-) timer sensor or switch it of by pressing the (+) and
(-) timer sensors simultaneously.
The timer can be customised to suit the needs of the user by configuring the following options:
1. Increase of timer value (1 min. /5 min.)
2. Timed heating element (fixed/programmable)
3. Indication of timed heating element
4. Duration of the acoustic alarm (1min./indefinite)
5. Default initial timer value
6. Timer/Timer-Alarmmode
Increase of timer value
Pressing the (+) or (-) (Key 8) timer sensor for a sustained period will result in an automatic increase/
decrease, enabling the user to reach the desired timer value faster. The increase can be set to 1 minute
or 5 minute increases/decreases.

This option is advisable when timed heating element is programmable, as it serves to remind the user
which heating element has been selected.
Duration of the acoustic alarm
Once the timer period has finished, an acoustic alarm sounds for a certain period <00> and flashes on the
timer displays (7). The duration of the acoustic alarm can be programmed.
* 1 minute alarm:
The acoustic alarm stops after 1 minute. The timer displays continue to flash <00>. The user can switch
off the alarm at any moment, even during the first minute, by pressing any sensor of the touch control.
* Indefinite alarm:
The alarm continues to sound until the user switches it off by pressing any sensor of the touch control.
Default initial timer value
The timer is switched on by pressing the (+) or (-) timer sensor (Key 8). If the (-) sensor is pressed
the initial timer value will be 99 minutes, whereas with the (+) sensor, the initial timer value can be
predetermined to any value between 00 and 99 minutes.
Timer/Timer-Alarm mode
The timer has two different working modes:
*Timer mode: when the programmed period is over, the alarm is activated and the timed heating element
switches itself off automatically. If the timer is set in this mode, this is indicated by the fact that the decimal
point on the timer display is lit (7)
*Alarm mode: when the programmed period is over, the alarm is activated although the timed heating
element is not switched off automatically. If the timer is set in this mode, this is indicated by the fact that
the decimal point on the timer display is not lit (7).
The touch control enables the timer to be programmed for the following settings:
1. Timer setting: Only allow the timer to work in timer mode.
2.Timer-alarmsetting:Allowthe timerto workin eithertimer mode or alarm mode.Theworking modeis
programmed by the user.

Example#1: Fixed timed heating element + timer setting
The timer always work in timer mode, regulating the length of timed heating element is switched on.
Once the programmed period is over, the timed heating element switches itself off automatically. The
corresponding display (5) also switches off or shows an “H” to indicate residual and the timer alarm is
activated.
Example#2: Fixed timed heating element + timer alarm setting
The timer functions in either timer mode or alarm mode.
Timer mode: the programmed value determines the time during which the timed heating element is
activated. Once the programmed period is passed, the fixed timed heating element switches itself off
automatically.Thecorrespondingdisplay(5) alsoswitchesofforshowsan “H”toindicate residualheat
and the timer alarm is activated. To select this mode, before activating the timer (the timer display (7)
should be switched off) select a power setting (1) other then 0 for the fixed timed heating element, then
set the timer value. When this mode is selected, the decimal point on the timer display is activated (5).
Alarm mode: the programmed value determines the time which must pass before the alarm is activated.
Once the programmed time is over, the time alarm is activated although the heating element does not
switch Itself off automatically. To select his mode, before activating the timer (the timer display (7) should
be switched off) select the 0 power setting for the timed heating element, then set the timer value. When
this mode is selected, the decimal point on the timer display will be switched off. Once the alarm mode
has been selected, you can switch on the timed heating element.
Programmable timed heating element + timer setting
The timer always functions in timer mode, regulating the time during which the timed heating element
programmed by the user is activated. The activation of this setting is indicated by the presence of a
decimal point on the timer display (7). To select the timed heating element, when the timer is activated a
