8 KC 906.2 and EKE Users Guide USA with pan recognition
Child proof lock (sensor-lock)
Operating the sensor lock prevents unauthorized people from using the appli-
ance. In order to activate this lock, the cooking area has to be in operation.
Activating childproof lock:
Press the sensor lock (2 seconds).
The childproof lock can be activa-
ted if the cooking area is in oper-
ation. It will only allow the selection
of a lower cooking setting or the
off switch.
The lock is indicated by 3 flashing control indicators. .
Be careful: Switching off the cooking area doesn’t deactivate the childproof
lock!
Deactivating the child proof lock:
Press the sensors beneath the two left flashing control indicators at once.
For less than three seconds press the sensor under the flashing control indi-
cator on the right.
Note: When the power supply has been interrupted, the childproof lock is no
longer active.
What happens if...
■ ...you press two or more sensor keys – at the same time? (i.e. when
a pan is mistakenly put onto the sensor key?)
No function is activated. An audible signal will sound after 10 seconds. The
appliance will switch off automatically after 20 seconds.
■ ...you continue to press a sensor button even after having set the
highest cooking setting?
An audible signal will sound after 10 seconds. After 20 seconds the appli-
ance will switch off automatically.
■ ...there is a power outage?
The appliance won’t automatically switch on again. If the childproof lock was
activated before the power failure, it will be deactivated.
■ ...the electronics overheat?
The cooktop will automatically switch off. All 4 LED indicators will flash and
a cyclical signal will be heard.
Selecting pots and pans
[
CAUTION! Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthen-
ware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for range-top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow the manufac-
turer's instructions!
F
Only pots and pans made of metal can be used with the pan recognition
function. To use other kinds of utensils, please deactivate the pan rec-
ognition function.
You can save time and power by using ideal pots and pans.
■ Use pots and pans with flat, smooth bottoms.
Uneven bottom surfaces can increase energy usage and the amount of time
needed to start the cooking process..
■ Pans with rough bottom surfaces will scratch the glass-ceramic cooking
area when they are moved around.
■ Use a pan with a diameter at least as large as the cooking area.
Using undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
■ Whenever possible, always place a lid on the pan.
It will help you save a lot of energy. Liquids and foods will only boil over if
the temperature is set too high. The cooking zones enable you to set the
required temperature precisely. With a little practice, you’ll learn how to
choose the perfect cooking settings so nothing will boil over--even when a
lid is on.!
