b) Operation Control
If a button on the control panel is activated, all other buttons will be blocked except for the main switch in
order to avoid any malfunction. The control mode can be disabled via the main switch at any time, regardless
of whether any other buttons have been activated.
c) 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.
d) Residual Heat Indication
If the temperature on the cooktop has reached a value of more than 60°C due to the waste heat emitted by
the pot, there will appear an H (for Hot) on the display. If the appliance is disconnected from the mains, this
indication will extinguish.
e) Mains Control
Overcurrents that might be generated by reason of strong fluctuations of the mains voltage will be detected
by the control system and will cause the appliance to switch off automatically.
f ) 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 timer display.
Table of Error Codes:
E00
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.
E01
Electronic control of low voltage: An error has occurred in an electronic circuit of the appliance due
to excessively low voltage (< 160V~).
Self-help: Make sure the appliance is connected to the voltage indicated on the rating label.
E02
Electronic control of excess voltage: An error has occurred in an electronic circuit of the appliance due
to excessively high voltage (> 270V~).
Self-help: Make sure the appliance is connected to the voltage indicated on the rating label.
E03
Control unit: An error has occurred on the IGBT control unit of the appliance.
Self-help: Not possible – The appliance must certainly be forwarded to the customer service.
E04
Short circuit: A short circuit was caused in an electronic circuit of the appliance.
Self-help: Not possible – The appliance must certainly be forwarded to the customer service.
E05
Overheating protection (power level operating mode): The temperature on the cooktop exceeds the
maximum allowable value of 170°C during power level operating mode (e.g. due to hot oil or fat, or an
empty pot or any other metal object while appliance is switched on).
Self-help: Eliminate the cause of overheating. Once the cooktop has cooled, the appliance can be put
into operation again.
Temperature sensor: The temperature sensor underneath the glass ceramic plate is defective.
E06
Self-help: Not possible – The appliance must certainly be forwarded to the customer service.
Overheating protection (temperature level operating mode): The temperature on the cooktop exceeds
E07
the maximum allowable value of 240°C during temperature level operating mode (e.g. due to an empty
pot or any other metal object while appliance is switched on).
Self-help: Eliminate the cause of overheating. Once the cooktop has cooled, the appliance can be put
into operation again.
E08
Temperature sensor: The temperature sensor underneath the glass ceramic plate provides an undefined
signal.
Self-help: Make sure no metal objects or other foreign matters were placed on the cooktop.
