Franke TP-431, Operating And Maintenance Instruction Manual

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE 

Important: 

Before cooking with the appliance for the first time, it is important to clean the cook top. Then turn 

on all the heating elements, one as a time, with no pan on top, for 5 minutes on the maximum temperature 
setting. This will eliminate to the "new smell" and make any humidity that had accumulated on the heating 
elements evaporate. This is also essential to ensure that the electronic devices function properly.

All operations are performed by means of touch controls (infrared sensors) situated on the front of the cook 
top. 
Every action is confirmed by an acoustic signal.  

 
2. Locking the cook top functions (Fig 6)

The whole appliance can be locked using the safety lock key (2), in order to prevent any unintentional use. 
The function also serves as a child safety device. A pilot light (3) indicates that the safety lock function has 
been enabled. 

It will still be enabled when the cook top is turned on again. 

 As long as the safety lock function is enabled, any action on the keys has no effect.
