OPERATION
Boost function
Residual Heat Indicator
After selection of a respective cooking zone, the boost function can be activated by select-
ing the power level 9 and then pressing PLUS (3) button . By means of this function certain
cooking zones are enabled to receive power over the nominal (the number of boostable
cooking zone depends on the power available on a partial modules which is to be lees than
total hob power ). If the desired cooking zone has the capacity to activate the booster, the
display shows a “P“ symbol. In case the available power is not enough the cooking stage
display •ashes for 3 seconds on the cooking zone which needs to be reduced and which
requires automatic adjustment.
The boosting time is limited to 5 min to protect cooking utensils. After the booster is
switched off automatically, the cooking zone continues operation on power level “9”. The
booster can be reactivated after some minutes.
In case that the pan is removed from the cooking zone during boosting, the boosting func-
tion remains active and boosting time continues.
The power management is based on on the principle that the last entry is requested by the
induction as top priority. That means that previous actions and settings also made for the
other cooking zones are reversed automatically, if necessary.
- If induction identi•es the necessity of reducing power at a cooking zone, the selected
cooking stage •ashes on that cooking zone providing a correction period of 3 sec before the
power is reduced automatically to a minimum cooking stage.
- If the setting is adjusted within the correction period, the power management checks the
settings again. Should a new setting lead to further power reduction, the correction period
starts again.
- If no automatic correction needs being made to the cooking zone setting, the •ashing
stops immediately and the original value remains as a steady display indication. Should the
situation change again on the power reduced cooking zone, no automatic power increase
is effected.
It is meant to indicate to the user that the glass ceramic has a dangerous touch tempera-
ture in the circumference of a cooking zone. The temperature will be determined following
a mathematical model and the remaining residual heat will be indicated by means of “H”
on the corresponding 7-segment display. Heating-up and cooling down will be calculated
dependent on: • the selected setting (•“0” to “•9”) • the ON/OFF time. After switching-OFF the
cooking zone the respective display shows “H” until the assigned cooking zone tempera
-
ture is mathematically in a uncritical level. (
