Short-time timer (egg timer)
The short-time timer emits both a visual and an acoustic
signal after a time set by the user
and offers the function of a conventional egg timer.
Pause function
With the pause function all cooking zones can be quickly
and easily deactivated temporarily. When the function is
cancelled, operation resumes at the original settings.
The cooking session can be paused for max. 10 minutes.
Once 10 minutes have lapsed, the cooking session is
automatically ended.
5.7 Safety devices
5.7.1 Display lock
The display lock prevents unintentional use of the
cooktop extractor and cooktops.
If the display lock is active, the symbol lights up.
The functions are locked and the indicators on the
display are dimmed (exception: On/Off touch button).
5.7.2 Cleaning lock (wipe function)
The cleaning lock prevents settings from being changed
when wiping the operating panel during a cooking
session. When activated, the operating panel is locked for
10 seconds. The remaining time is displayed. All device
settings remain unchanged in the meantime.
5.7.3 Safety shut-down
Cooktop extractor
The cooktop extractor switches to automatic mode after
120 min if there has been no input or changes to the
power level (see Automatic extractor function).
Cooktops
Each cooking zone is automatically switched off after a
predefined operating time in which the power level has
not been changed. 3 levels are available to set the time
until safety shut-down.
Safety shut-down is preset to level 2.
The level can be changed in the user menu (see
Operation chapter).
INFO Never heat up oil, fat and the like at this power
setting. The bottom of the pan can overheat due
to the high power output.
Automatic heat up function
When the automatic heat up function is activated, the
cooking zone works at full power for a certain time and is
then automatically reset to the previously set level.

Warming function
On the warming level, meals that have already been
cooked can be kept warm at a lower temperature without
any risk of burning.
The maximum duration for the warming function is
preset to 8 hours.
Pan size recognition
The cooking zone recognises the size of the cookware
automatically and only targets the energy to that area. It
also recognises cookware that is unsuitable or too small
or if there is no cookware present.
A cooking zone is not working if
are alternated in the
display. This happens if...
... it is switched on without cookware or with unsuitable
cookware.
... the base diameter of the cookware is too small.
... the cookware is removed from a switched-on cooking
zone.
If no pot is recognised 10 minutes after setting a power
level, the cooking zone will switch off automatically.
Permanent pan size recognition
The cooking zone automatically recognises cookware and
switches the corresponding operating panel on: Manual
activation of the cooking zone is not necessary (see
Operation chapter, User menu).
Cooking zone timers (automatic cut-off)
The automatic cut-off function automatically switches off
the selected cooking zone once a preset time has lapsed.
The timer function can also be used on several cooking
zones at the same time (multi-timer).
