Initial Light Conditions
When power is initially applied to the Cooktop, the touch control conducts a calibration process for the
touch keys, which requires a low level of ambient light in the area of the touch keys.
If during this calibration process excessive ambient lighting is detected the User Interface displays 'FL'
(Infrared Ambient Light Error) and the control calibration process is suspended. In order to rectify the
process any lighting that could effect the calibration process should be switched off (e.g. halogen
cooker hood lighting). The error will disappear when satisfactory ambient lighting is detected and the
touch control calibration procedure will now complete satisfactorily.
-
The 'FL' error can only be generated within approximately 3 seconds of initial power being applied
to the cooktop.
-
We recommend that the user switches off all cooker hood lighting and lighting directed towards
the cooktop when power is initially applied to the cooktop.
-
After the touch control has conducted its initial calibration process, (approximately 3 seconds) any
cooker hood or other lighting can be switched on as normal and will not affect the operation of the
touch control.
Switching on the Hob
When power is initially applied to the Cooktop, the touch control conducts a calibration process for the
touch keys, which requires a low level of ambient light in the area of the touch keys. If excessive
ambient lighting is detected, the User Interface displays 'FL' error and the calibration is suspended.
The error will disappear when satisfactory ambient lighting is detected and the touch control calibration
procedure will now complete satisfactorily
After connecting the hob to the electrical grid, the touch panel might be automatically locked.
To unclock the panel press and hold the Control Panel Lock button
.
To switch the hob on, press and hold the
button for approximately one second.
The cooktop is switched On when a beep sound is emitted and the cooking zones display shows the
'0'.
When the cooktop is off, after 5 seconds without any error / alarm or residual heat to display, the
control switches off the (KEYLOCK LED)
in order to reduce power consumption. As soon as we
touch a key, the (KEYLOCK LED)
goes on and we can continue to operate as usual.
Switching off the cooktop is signalled by 3 beeps.
Setting the Power Management
The Cooktop maximum power limit (7200W) can be reduced by the user to 2800W, 3500W or 6000W
(ECO Power Limits).
The sequence to set a new Cooktop Power Limit is:
•
During the first 30 seconds after plugging the appliance;
•
The Touch has to be unlocked and all Heaters Off;
•
Press at the same time the left and right end heaters [+] and [-] keys.
•
Once this is done, a beep sounds and 'Po' characters will be in the timer displays and the 'actual
Cooktop Power Limit' will be in the left and right end heater displays.
