Main switch
The electronics in the control panel are switched on
using the main switch. Touch the l symbol until the
cooking zone displays show 0. Now the cooktop is
ready for use.
Touch the l symbol until the cooking zone displays
go off. All the cooking zones are switched off. The
residual heat indicator remains lit until the cooking
zones have cooled sufficiently.
The cooktop cannot be switched on if an object lies
on one of the sensor keys. The main switch flashes
repeatedly when touched. Remove the object and
switch on the cooktop as usual.
The cooktop switches off automatically if all the
cooking zones have been switched off for more
than 20 seconds.
Touch keys
When you touch a symbol, the respective function
is activated. Every input is confirmed by an audible
signal.
The settings remain unchanged if several symbols
are touched briefly. You can therefore easily mop up
spills on the control panel.
Note
Always keep the touch keys clean and dry. Moisture
and dirt may impair function.
Cooking zone combination
Flexible cooking zones can be combined in different
ways to create larger or smaller cooking surfaces
as required.
Quick boil timer
When the quick boil timer is activated, the set
cooking level is boosted for several minutes. This
ensures that the continued cooking temperature of
the food is reached faster.
Twist pad with magnetic twist knob
The twist pad is the area in which you select the
cooking zones with the magnetic knob and can set
heat settings. The knob automatically centres itself
in the twist pad.
The knob is magnetic and is placed on the twist
pad. The cooking zone is activated by sliding the
twist knob in the direction of the corresponding
cooking zone symbol. You can set the heat setting
by turning the knob.
You can remove the knob. This makes cleaning
easier.
If you remove the knob when the cooktop is in
operation, all the cooking zones switch off after
3 seconds.
m
Caution! If you place a metal object on the
twist pad within 3 seconds, the cooktop may
continue to heat up. For this reason, always
switch off the cooktop using the main switch.
Storing the twist knob
There is a strong magnet in the twist knob. Do not,
therefore, place it near magnetic data carriers, e.g.
video cassettes, disks, credit cards and cards with
magnetic strips. These could be destroyed.
Malfunctions to televisions and monitors may occur.
m
Caution! For persons who wear electronic
implants such as a pacemaker or insulin
pump.
Implants could be affected by magnetic fields.
Do not carry the twist knob in the pockets of
your clothing. Keep the twist knob at least
10 cm away from a pacemaker.
