Operating Principle (Fig. 1)
GB
It expIoits the eIectromagnetic properties of most cooking vessels.
The coil (inductor) which produces the eIectromagnetic
fieId is operated and controlled by the eIectronic circuit.
The heat is transmitted to food by the cooking vesseI itself.
The cooking process takes pIaceas described beIow.
- Ioss of heat is minimum (high efficiency)
- the systemstops automatically when the vesseIis
removed or even just lifted from the hob
- the eIectronic circuit guarantees maximum flexibility
and fine adjustments.

Installation

AlI operations relative to installation (electric connection)
should be carried out by skilled personnel inconformity
with the rules in force.
As for the specific instruction see part pertaining to
installer.
IMPORTANT: This apparatus is not suitable for use by
persons (children included) with reduced mental and
physical capacity or with lack of experience and knowledge
unless having previously received suitable training for its
use by persons responsible for their safety.
It must be ensured that children do not play with the apparatus

Use

First pIace the pan in the chosen cooking zone. If the pan
is not present the system can not be switched on.
On/off of the Touch Control (Fig. 2 e 2a)
The electronic Touch Control is activated by eans
of the ON/OFF button and switches from the OFF
mode to the Standby mode. To do so it is necessary
to press the ON/OFF button for 1 second. A short Beep
will be heard. When in standby, "0" is displayed on the
display of the cooking zone. This display may go into
background due to a residual heat or error signal.
If a cooking zone is activated during the standby time
(10 sec.), the control switches over to the On mode.
If no introduction is made within the 10 sec., the control
automatically switches to OFF with a short beep.
The electronics can be switched to the OFF mode at
any time during the ON mode or the Standby mode by
pressing the ON/OFF button. The Off function has priority
when operating, meaning that the control switches off
even by activating several buttons at the same time.
Switching on a cooking zone
When in the Standby or On mode, a cooking zone can
be switched on by means of the Plus/Minus button, as
long as the cooking zone is not in the timer programming
mode at that moment (see Timer chapter).
4
If starting with the "+" button, the cooking level changes
from "0" to "4". If starting with the "-" button, the cooking
level changes from "0" to "9".
Switching off a cooking zone
a) Pressing the "+" and "-" buttons of the desired cooking
zone at the same time
b) Selecting cooking level "0" of the desired cooking
zone with the "-" button
If the last cooking zone is switched off, the control
switches to the OFF mode after 10 sec. if nothing else
is switched on.
All cooking zones are switched off immediately by
pressing the ON/OFF button.
Cooking and power levels
The cooking and power levels of the cooking zones
are shown on the display with 7 allotted segments.
In accordance with standards, the power levels are
displayed with numbers from "1" to "9".
Residual heat indicator
Indicates to the user that the glass is at a dangerous
temperature if in contact with the area over the cooking
zone. The temperature is determined by means of a
mathematical model and possible residual heat is indicated
by "H" on the corresponding 7 segment display.
Heating and cooling are calculated based on:
- The selected power level (from "0" to "9");
- The relay activation time after the cooking zone has
been switched off.
The corresponding display shows "H" until the zone
temperature drops below the critical level (< 60 °C)
according to the mathematical model.
Timer function
The Timer function can be used as a
cooking zone timer or independent
alarm but never for both functions. The
two 7 segment displays of the respective cooking zones
are used to view the remaining time in minutes up until
the timer alarm is activated.
Timer selection
- To program a timer, the touch control must be in the
Standby or On mode.
- The timer button is pressed in order to select a timer
function for the cooking zone.
- LED 8 signals the timer programming by means of the
+/- buttons. The flashing timer LED signals that the 7
segment display value refers to the timer and can be
modified. When a timer continues to function in the
OFF mode, the timer LED remains on. This indicates
that the value on the display is related to the timer, but
cannot be directly modified at that particular moment;
to do so, the control must be reactivated.
- The activation of the timer button depends on the
