switched off.
- The display and the selected timer LED flash
alternating the cooking level from “00” to “H”, if there
is residual heat.
- The warning alarm lasts for at least 2 minutes if the
user does not switch it off before.
- The alarm signal switches off after the 2 minutes is up
or if any button is pushed. The buzzer and the timer
control light are switched off.
Timer off /Modification of the timer setting
- The timer settings can be modified in the Standby
or On mode at any time after the selection has been
made by pressing the Plus or Minus buttons.
- The timer can be switched off, setting it to value “00”,
by pressing the Minus button or by pressing the Plus
and Minus buttons together.
Key Lock (child safety)
Locking/unlocking of the Key Lock
The keypad is blocked when the Key Lock
button is pressed in the Standby or On mode;
the Key-Lock LED “9” lights permanently.
The control continues to operate in the previously set
mode but can no longer be controlled by other buttons,
except by the Key-Lock button or the ON/OFF button.
Switching off with the ON/OFF button is also possible
when locked. The Key-lock button LED switches off
when the Touch control and Key-Lock function are
switched off. The LED lights again if reactivated (within
10 sec.) until it is deactivated by pressing the Key-Lock
button once again. The activation/deactivation of the
Key-Lock function is not possible in the OFF mode.
Unlocking/deactivation of the Key Lock
The keypad is unlocked and the Key-Lock LED is
switched off when the Key-Lock button is pressed
again in the Standby or On mode. All sensor buttons
can once again be activated.
Keep- warm function (Lo Temp)
The keep-warm function serves to keep the
food on a cooking zone warm. To do so, the
selected cooking zone is supplied with a
lower power. The keep-warm function is activated by
setting the cooking level between 0 and 1. The “Lo”
symbol is thereby indicated on both cooking zone
displays (see above).
Lowering the cooking temperature with the “-“ button
pressed, the temperature stops on the keep-warm
cooking level. Push the button again to switch to “0”.
Precautions
- in case you detect a crack, however small, in the hob
surface, immediately disconnect the power supply
conditions of the previously set function:
a) The cooking zone corresponding to the timer is
on (cooking level > 0): The timer is programmed
in reference to the cooking zone; the cooking
zone automatically switches off when reset;
an independent timer cannot be selected. The
cooking level setting is accessed when the timer
button is pressed again.
b) The cooking zone corresponding to the timer is
off (cooking level = 0): The timer is independently
programmed and continues to function even in
OFF. The cooking zone cannot be activated until
the timer is functioning.
Setting of the Timer value
- Following the selection of the time, the related LED
flashes as described above. The countdown time of the
desired timer can be set by means of the +/- buttons.
- Starting with the plus button, the first value displayed
is “01” and progressively increases from 1 to a
maximum value of “99” (upper limit).
- Starting with the minus button, the value displayed on
the indication is “30” and diminishes to “01” (first lower
limit). When this value is reached, an acoustic signal
is emitted. By pressing the minus button again, the
display “00” will not be modified (second lower limit).
- Setting can be performed by permanently pressing
the plus or minus buttons or by intermittently pressing
them (selection: press button, release, press button,
release, etc).
- If the button is permanently pressed, the regulation
speed automatically accelerates, meaning that the
time between one step and the next is reduced, until
the button is released.
- If the Plus or Minus buttons are not pressed within
10 sec. (parameter), after having selected the timer
of the current cooking zone (the display remains on
“00”), the indication and allocation of the +/- buttons
automatically switch to the cooking zone.
- When a timer is used as an alarm, the indication
and allocation of the buttons does not switch to the
cooking zone, being that this cannot be activated.
- The timer normally starts in countdown, if programmed
with two values that are not 0. For example: the timer
starts when the Plus button is released after the timer
value has been set at “01”.
- The timer settings have priority over the delimitation of
the operating time if high cooking levels have been set.
- If only one alarm has been programmed, the control remains
at first in the standby mode (no other cooking zone is on).
If no other new values are introduced, the TC behaves as
described above and switches to the OFF mode.
Timer laps/timer alarm and confirmation
- The last 10 sec. before the timer lapses are displayed
(countdown up to alarm).
- Once the set time of the timer has lapsed, the timer
alarm is activated and the assigned cooking zone is
