Time limit function
The appliance is equipped with an automatic time limit function. This function
makes sure that the appliance is not in operation for a long time. The time
period of the time limit depends on the selected cooking setting, eg.: The high-
er the selected cooking setting, the faster the appliance is switched off.
The function to limit operation time works separately for each cooking zone..
What happens if...
■ ...pressing two or more sensor keys – at the same time e.g. when a
pan is mistakenly put onto the sensor key?
No function is activated. An audible signal sounds after 10 seconds. The
appliance switches off automatically after 20 seconds.
■ ...you continue to press a sensor button even after having set the
highest cooking setting?
An audible signal sounds after 10 seconds. After 20 seconds the appliance
switches off automatically.
■ ...there is a power outage?
The appliance does not automatically switch on again. If the child proof lock
was activated before the power failure, this is now deactivated.
■ ...the electronics overheat?
The cooktop will 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 utensils are suitable for range-top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow the manufac-
turer’s instructions!
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 the amount of time needed to start
the cooking process and increase energy usage.
■ Rough pan bottom surfaces will scratch the glass-ceramic cooking area
when moved around.
■ Use a pan with a diameter at least as large as the cooking area.
Using an undersized utensil will expose a portion of the heating element to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
■ Wherever possible, always place a lid on the pan.
You’ll save a lot of energy by cooking in a closed pan. Liquids and foods
will only boil over if the temperature is too high. The cooking zones allow
you to precisely set the temperature required. With a little practice, you’ll
learn how to choose the perfect cooking settings so nothing will boil-over
even when a lid is in place!
