An approved suitable cable must be connected from the Consumer Unit
main fuse box and be protected by its own 32amp fuse or Micro Circuit
Breaker (MCB). The electrician must provide a fused all pole switch,
which disconnects both the line (live) and neutral conductors with a
contact seperation of at least 3,0 mm.
The fused switch should be fitted to the kitchen wall, above the
worksurface and to the side of the hob, not above it, in accordance with
IEE regulations. Connect the fused switch to a junction box which should
be fitted on the wall about 61cm (24 inches) above floor level and behind

On all zones a ´0` appears and all Decimal Points of the zone flashes (1
sec on, 1 sec off).
If there is no operation within 10 sec, the display of all zones will turn off.
If the displays are turned off, the zone will be set into Stand-By-Mode.
If is pressed more than 2 sec (in Operating-Mode), the appliance is
switched off and is set into the S-Mode again. The appliance can be turned
off by pressing at any time; even if other buttons are pressed
simultaneously.
If there is a residual heat of a heater remaining, this will be indicated in the
correspondent heat setting Zone Display.

Heat Setting Slider Buttons
The slider button must be pressed within 3 sec, otherwise the zone selection
is erased and heat setting dot will disappear (Decimal Point). If there is no
further operation within 10 sec, the heater falls back into the S-Mode.
The heat setting can always be changed by pressing between
level 1-9.
Each sliding operation or each display change is quitted by a buzzer signal.

Turn on dual and triple zones (available only in some models)
Turn on the dual zone
The activation of the dual zone is done after selecting the desired zone
by actuating . This is confirmed by a buzzer signal. At the same time, the
corresponding Dual Zone Indicator goes on statically. Touching for a
second time, the status of the dual zone toggles: it changes from dual zone
on to dual zone off and back again.

timer to the linked timer signalised.
Touching again, the next timer in the in the clockwise direction, is
proposed for assignment of the next active heater. And so on…

14
Minute Minder
No matter whether a zone is activated or not, the minute minder can be
operated by touching .The appearing ´00` shows that timer is active and

on or off (no Cooking Zone Indicator is flashing).
With , the timer value can be set.
After successful setting of the minute minder time, the timer starts to
decrease the time.
The minute minder will not be stopped by switching off the appliance or
activating the key lock function, it will proceed increasing the minutes until
run out indication.
After reaching the ´00` of the timer, buzzer indicates the run out of time.
To stop the buzzer you have to confirm the ´run out` by touching any button.
Zone timer
Zone timers can be set only for activated zones (zone level must be

First touch of , the minute minder is activated. After zone touching
for the
second time ,the timer is assigned to the activated
zone .The proposed
assignment is indicated by the related Cooking Zone Indicator,
which flashing.
Touching again zone after activating the first heater timer the control
recommends the next active zone assigned to the timer
in the clockwise
direction.
The assignment recommendation is indicated by the flashing
Cooking Zone Indicator.
Touching , the timer value for the zone can be set.
The running timer of the first set zone timer is indicated by the statically
lighting Cooking Zone Indicator.
Touching once again further timers can be assigned to other activated
zones.

15
10 sec after the last operation, the timer display changes to the timer that

buzzer tone. This will be erased by touching any button for acknowledgement.
Key Lock
Key lock functionality is for blocking and sets the appliance into a save
mode during operation. Touch modifications for example increase heat
settings should not be possible. It is only possible to switch the
appliance
off.
The lock function is active, if the Key Lock button is pressed at least 2
sec. This operation is acknowledged by a buzzer. After successful operation
of more than 2 sec, the Key Lock Indicator flashes and the zone is locked.
The zone can only be locked in Operating Mode (B-Mode).

16
If the zone is locked, only can be operated, all other buttons are blocked.

If case the minute minder is still running, it will proceed until ´00` is
reached and the timer will beep. After confirmation of timer run out, the
appliance is fully locked. None of the buttons can be used as long as the
appliance is locked.

17
The same way the child lock is activated, it can also get deactivated. After
pressing until the beep, then the right and the left of the slider button
simultaneously for at least 0 ,5 sec ,followed by touching only the left .As
aconfirmation for successful unlocking, ´L` symbol in the displays will be
erased immediately.

18
TOUCH CONTROL SAFETY FUNCTIONS
The following safety functions are available to avoid unintended operation
of the cooktop control.
Sensor Safety Cut Off
To prevent the appliance from unwanted, 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 wrong operation (pot or other
object placed on the button, sensor failure, etc.) and switches off the
appliance.
The safety turn off causes that the hob control is turned off to the S-Mode.
An ´F` will flash in all heater displays.
If residual heat is present, it will be displayed in all other zone displays.
The cooktop control will then go in S-Mode .At the same time a buzzer
signal appears. After 10 minutes the acoustic signaling will stop.
If there is no erroneous operation present any longer, both the visual and
the acoustic signal will disappear.

19
Over Temperature Switch Off
Due to the placement of the control it is very close to the zone in the
middle
front of the cooktop ,it can occur that an inconnectly placed partly placed pot
on the control and not sensed by the sensor safety cut off (not covering a button)
heats up the cooktop to a very high temperature which makes the glass and
the buttons untouchable.
To prevent the cooktop control unit from damage, the control continuously all
the the temperature and switches off in case of overheating emergency.
It is indicated in the zone 4 zone display with the letter ´t` for all the time
until the temperature decreases.
After cooktop temperature falls, the ´t` displays will be erased and the cooktop
control unit falls back into the S-Mode. This means that the user can
reactivate the appliance by touching .
Operating Time Limitations
The hob control unit has a limitation of operating time. If the heat setting
for this zone has not been changed for a certain time, than the zone will
turn off automatically (for 10 sec a ´0` is displayed, afterwards the residual
heat). The limit of the operating time depends of the selected heat setting.
If a timer was associated with the heater than a ´00` will be displays on the
timer display for 10 sec. Afterwards the timer display turns off.
After an automatic turn off of the zone , as described above, the zone is
operable again and the maximum operating time for this heat setting is
applied.
