Operation

Operating principles

The glass ceramic cooktop is equipped
with electronic sensor controls which
react to finger contact. For safety
reasons, in order to switch the cooktop
on, the On/Off  sensor needs to be
touched for a little longer than the other
sensors.
A tone sounds each time a sensor is
touched.
In order to set or alter a power level or a
duration, the cooking zones and the
timer must be "active". To activate a
cooking zone or the timer, touch the
sensor for selecting the relevant
cooking zone or the timer. After you
have touched the sensor, the relevant
cooking zone or the timer display will
start to flash. The cooking zone or the
timer is "active" whilst the display is
flashing and you can set a power level
or a duration.
Exception: If only one of the cooking
zones is in use, you can alter the power
level without activating the cooking
zone.

Malfunction due to dirty and/or
covered sensors:
If the sensors are dirty or covered,
this could cause them to fail to react,
to activate a function or even to
switch the cooktop off automatically
(see "Safety switch-off"). Placing hot
pans on the sensors/indicators can
damage the electronic unit
underneath.
Keep the sensors and indicators
clean and do not place anything on
top of them. Do not place hot pans
on them.
