Hotpoint CIB 644 B E Initial Light Conditions, Switching on the hob, Setting the Power Management

•Loud whistle: heard when two induction elements of the same group function simultaneously at maximum power and/or when the booster function is set on the larger element while the other is auto-adjusted. Noise is reduced by decreasing the power level of the auto-adjusted induction element; pot bottom layers made of different kinds of materials are among the main causes of this noise.

•Fan noise: a fan is necessary to ensure the hob functions correctly and to safeguard the electronic unit from possible overheating. The fan functions at maximum power when the large induction element is at maximum power or when the booster function is on; in all other cases, it works at average power depending on the temperature detected. Furthermore, the fan may continue

to work even after switching the hob off, if the temperature detected is high.

The types of noise listed above are due to induction technology and are not necessarily operational faults.

!If the (-) or (+)button is pressed for an extended period of time, the display scrolls quickly though the power levels and timer minutes.

Initial Light Conditions

When power is initially applied to the Cooktop, the to- uch control conducts a calibration process for the to- uch 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 cali- bration 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 satisfac- tory ambient lighting is detected and the touch control calibration procedure will now complete satisfactorily.

-The „FL” error can only be generated within approx 3s of initial power being applied to the cooktop.

-We recommend that the user switches off all cooker hood lighting and lighting directed towards the cook- top when power is initially applied to the cooktop.

-After the touch control has conducted its initial cali- bration process, (approx 3s) any cooker hood or other lighting can be switched on as normal and will not af-

fect the operation of the touch control.

Switching on the hob

After connecting the hob to the electricity mains, the touch pannel might be automatically locked. To un- clock the pannel press and hold the Control Panel

Loock button .

To switch the hob on, press and hold the	button for	GB
approximately one second.

The cooktop is switched On when a beep sound is emmited and all the cooking zones displays show the digit point.

When the cooktop is OFF, after 5 sec the control . switches off the KEYLOCK LED to reduce the power consumption.

As soon as we touch a key, the KEYLOCK LED goes ON and we can continue to use the cooktop, unlocking the keyboard.

Switching off the cooktop is signalled by 3 beep sound

Setting the Power Management

The cooktop maximum power limit is 7200W. This power limit can be reduced by the user to 2800W, 3500W or 6000W.

The sequence to set a new Cooktop Power Limit is: ·During the first 30 seconds after plugging the applian- ce

·The Touch has to be unlocked and all Heaters Off ·Press at the same time Heater 1 and Heater 3 selection keys

·Once this is done, a beep sounds and the actual Co- oktop Power Limit will be shown in the heater displays. For selecting a new Power Limit:

·With the (+) and (-) keys, the Power Limit is increased. The selectable powers are: 2800W, 3500W, 6000W or 7200W. When the power is 7200W, if the [+] or [-] key is touched the power changes to 2800W.

The sequence to finish recording the new Cooktop Po- wer Limit is:

·Press at the same time Heater 1 and Heater 3 selection keys

·Once this is done, new Cooktop Power Limit is recor- ded and there is a system reset.

To finish without recording changes:

·If during 60 seconds there is no action, changes are not recorded and there is a system reset.
