The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage or injury caused by improper use or for uses other than those for which the appliance is intended. When using your appliance, follow basic safety precautions including the following: Installation Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations. [. . . ] Do not touch the burners or place heat sensitive items on them when the flashing "H" is displayed. If the main power supply is interrupted, the "H" will disappear, even though the burners will still be hot! 2-3 3-5 5-6 6-7 7-9 9 These settings are intended only as a guide. When using large pans or cooking large quantities, a higher setting may be required. When cooking smaller quantities, use a lower setting. 13 Use Locking a burner Once selected, the burners can be "locked" in order to prevent accidental changing of the settings. To lock the burners: ^ Press the "a" touch control, k, until a dot lights up above it. To turn the lock off: ^ Press the "a" touch control, k, until the dot goes out. Keep the area around the touch controls clean at all times. Clean up Boil overs and spills as soon as possible. Dirt or utensils placed on the controls may activate them. Never place hot pots or pans over the touch controls, as the underlying electronics may be damaged. When cleaning the cooktop, make sure the cooktop is "Off", and be careful not to accidentally turn it "On". All burners can be shut off simultaneously, even if the Control Lock has been activated. ^ Press the main "s" touch control, l, until the dot above it goes out. Automatic shut off If the cooktop is left "On" longer than normal cooking generally requires, it will turn itself off automatically. The amount of time required, between 1 and 10 hours for this feature to activate depends on the power setting selected. The lower the setting, the longer it will take to shut off. In addition, each burner is equipped with a safety thermostat that will shut it off if the ceramic surface should overheat. 14 Use Automatic pre-heat This feature is separately available for each burner, allowing it to reach the desired cooking temperature quickly without manual intervention. If the automatic pre-heat function is selected, the burner will heat up using its maximum power for a pre-set time (see table) before automatically switching to the selected cooking temperature. A dot will appear behind the power setting display when this feature is active. Setting 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Approximate pre-heat time (min) 1. 5 2. 5 4 5. 5 7 1. 5 2. 5 2. 5 - Length of pre-heating The length of the pre-heat cycle depends upon the cooking power that is set. When using Settings 1 - 5, food is usually placed in the pot before setting it on the cooktop. To compensate for the added mass of the food, the preheat time is increased as the cooking power is increased. Settings 6 - 8 are generally used for frying or roasting where the pan needs to be brought up to temperature before the food is introduced. For this reason the pre-heat times are shorter. To Turn on "automatic pre-heat": ^ Turn on the cooktop by pressing the "s" touch control (l) until a dot lights up above it. [. . . ] Do not install the cooktop directly above a dishwasher, refrigerator or freezer. Heat radiated by the cooktop may damage them. If the cooktop is installed above an oven, make sure the cooktop's power cord does not come into contact with the oven. 40 mm = 1 ½" 50 mm = 2" When installing cooktops, keep in mind that they will radiate some heat sideways as well as straight up.
