Children less than 8 years of age shall be kept away unless continuously supervised. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision. [. . . ] 5 CONTROL PANEL LOCK button prevents accidental changes to the hob settings and shows the control panel has been locked. 6 HEATER DISPLAY -shows the cooking zone selected, power level, preset time of cooking, booster funcition activated. For detailed information on the control panel functions refer to “Start-up and use” section. This product complies with the requirements of the latest European Directive on the limitation of power consumption of the standby mode. If no operations are carried out for a period of 2 minutes, after the residual heat indicator lights turn off and the fan stops (if present), the appliance automatically switches to the . off mode. . The appliance resumes the operating mode once the ON/OFF button is pressed. Depending on the number of heaters/cooking zones on the hob the COOKING ZONE SELECTOR BUTTONS may vary between and 3 2 4 9 AU • Loud whistle: heard when two induction elements of the same group function simultaneously at maximum power and/or when the booster function is set on the larger element while the other is auto-adjusted. Noise is reduced by decreasing the power level of the auto-adjusted induction element; pot bottom layers made of different kinds of materials are among the main causes of this noise. • Fan noise: a fan is necessary to ensure the hob functions correctly and to safeguard the electronic unit from possible overheating. The fan functions at maximum power when the large induction element is at maximum power or when the booster function is on; in all other cases, it works at average power depending on the temperature detected. Furthermore, the fan may continue to work even after switching the hob off, if the temperature detected is high. The types of noise listed above are due to induction technology and are not necessarily operational faults. If the (-) or (+)button is pressed for an extended period of time, the display scrolls quickly though the power levels and timer minutes. Initial Light Conditions When power is initially applied to the Cooktop, the touch control conducts a calibration process for the touch keys, which requires a low level of ambient light in the area of the touch keys. If during this calibration process excessive ambient lighting is detected the User Interface displays „FL” (Infrared Ambient Light Error) and the control calibration process is suspended. In order to rectify the process any lighting that could effect the calibration process should be switched off (e. g. The error will disappear when satisfactory ambient lighting is detected and the touch control calibration procedure will now complete satisfactorily. -The „FL” error can only be generated within approx 3s of initial power being applied to the cooktop. -We recommend that the user switches off all cooker hood lighting and lighting directed towards the cooktop when power is initially applied to the cooktop. -After the touch control has conducted its initial calibration process, (approx 3s) any cooker hood or other lighting can be switched on as normal and will not affect the operation of the touch control. Switching on the hob When power is initially applied to the Cooktop, the touch control conducts a calibration process for the touch keys, which requires a low level of ambient light in the area of the touch keys. If excessive ambient lighting is detected, the User Interface displo ays „FL” error and the calibration is suspended. [. . . ] You can obtain excellent results by using a rustproof steel wire sponge - specifically designed for glass ceramic surfaces - soaked in soapy water. • If plastic or sugary substances have accidentally been melted on the hob, remove them immediately with the scraper, while the surface is still hot. • Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a special protective maintenance product: the invisible film left by this product protects the surface from drips during cooking. This maintenance should be carried out while the appliance is warm (not hot) or cold. [. . . ]
