Approximately
5
seconds after setting the operating time the display will change back to the
original operating mode. If the „TIMER“ button is activated again, the remaining operating time
will appear on the display for about
5
seconds, and you may also choose to vary it further.
When the preset time has elapsed, there will be an audible signal and the control will automati-
cally switch over to the stand-by mode.
Note: Changing either the power or the temperature level does not affect the preset operating
time.
Safety functions
This cooking plate comes with a number of safety features to protect the user as well as the
appliance against any unintentional or hazardous operating situations.
a) Priority regulation
The control mode can be disabled via the main switch at any time, regardless of whether any
other buttons have been activated.
b) Operating time limitation
The operating time limitation will cause the cooktop to switch off automatically if the settings
have not been changed for a period of
2
hours. Such will happen independently of the level set
in each case. When automatic switch-off was effected, the cooking plate can be switched on
once more and the maximum operating time will be active again.
c) Residual heat indication
If the temperature on the cooktop has reached a value of more than
50
°C due to the waste heat
emitted by the pot, there will appear an H (= hot) on the display. As soon as the temperature has
sunk below
50
°C the display shows L (= low).
If the appliance is disconnected from the mains, this indication on the display will extinguish.
d) Mains control
Overcurrents that might be generated by reason of strong fl uctuations of the mains voltage will
be detected by the control system and will cause the appliance to switch off automatically.
e) Error codes
The electronic control system features numerous internal monitoring functions. If an error
occurs, the power supply will be quit and an error code will appear on the display.
Table of error codes:
Overcurrent:
The power consumption of the appliance exceeded the maximum
allowable
15
Amps.
Self-help: Make sure the appliance is connected to the mains
voltage indicated on the rating label.
Electronic control of low voltage:
An error has occurred in an electronic circuit of the appliance due
to low voltage (
<
160
V~).
Self-help: Make sure the appliance is connected to the mains
voltage indicated on the rating label.
