Operating principles

This 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.Each
time you touch a sensor, an audible
tone sounds.
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. While the sensor is
flashing, set or adjust the power level or
the duration.
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.
