Operating Instructions
The Boost Function
The Boost function is available at each cooking zone. It is used to speed up the initial heat up time (say boil a pot of
water). Select a cooking zone and set the Heat level. While the decimal point on the display is lit, press the Boost button.
The display will alternate between “P” and the heat setting.
Note: The Boost function is not always available (depending on what else is being used), and if the power requirements
are exceeded, the display will flash with an alternative setting for 3 seconds. Do not leave the appliance unattended while
this function is active.
To disable the Boost function, press the Heater Selection Button for the cooking zone again (so the Decimal Point is lit)
and adjust the heat setting with the Sliding Button. The display will no longer alternate between “P” and the heat setting.
Locking The Keys
The child lock is used to set the appliance up so when it is first turned on, it is in a locked mode (which must be unlocked
before a cooking function can take place). While locked, touch modifications (e.g. increase heat settings) and others will
not be possible. It is only possible to switch the appliance off.
Turn the appliance on, but do not activate any functions. Press the Sliding Button at both ends at the same time, and
then the right end of the Sliding Button again. The display shows an “L” on all cooking zone displays (or alternating ”H” &
“L”) and will remain locked even if the unit is turned off & on.
To unlock the unit, press the Sliding Button at both ends at the same time, and then the left end of the Sliding Button
again. The “L” displays will switch back to the heat settings and will not be active when the unit is next turned on.
The Key Lock button can be used to stop access to any functions (except the On/Off function) while the cooktop is being
used. Once the cooktop has been set up to cook, press the Key Lock button for 2 seconds until there is an audible alarm
and the key lock symbol will be lit. Repeat the process to remove the key lock (the key lock symbol will no longer be lit). If
the unit is turned off & on, the key lock will remain active.
The Smart Pause Function
This function reduces the power of all cooking zones for 30 minutes (at which point the appliance will turn off). Activate by
pushing the Smart Pause Button. The displays will alternate between “ " ” and their correct reading. Turn the function off
by pressing the button a second time.
TOUCH CONTROL SAFETY FUNCTIONS
The following safety functions are available to avoid unintended operations of the cooktop control:
Hotplate Safety Cut Off
To prevent the appliance from unwanted, random button operation, a sensor monitoring is included.
In the case of one or more buttons being pressed longer than 12 seconds, the sensor monitoring routine indicates
acoustically that an “error” (pot or other object placed on the button, sensor failure, etc.) has occurred and switches off
the appliance.
If residual heat is present, it will be displayed in all other Heat Level Displays with a red “H”.
Over Temperature Switch Off
Because the controls are very close to the hotplates on the front of the cooktop, it is possible that a pot can be placed half
on the control and not sensed by the sensor safety cut off (not covering a sensor). This can cause the cooktop to heat up
to a very high temperature, which makes the glass and the buttons untouchable without burning a finger.
To prevent the cooktop control unit from damage caused by overheating, a temperature sensor is available on the touch
control unit which will turn the appliance off when overheating occurs.
Spill Function
The cooktop has a sensor that detects if liquids are spilled on the control panel. This shows up as a flashing “F” in each
Heat level display (even when the unit is not operating). The easiest remedy is to clean/dry the control panel with a
moistened cloth and leave for a minute to dry. If the display is not repeated it is safe to continue cooking.
