Key Features

• Application: Designed specifically for electric combined dampers.
• Width: 160 mm
• Length: 670 mm

Setup and Installation

Proper installation of the keyboard membrane is crucial for its functionality and the safety of the appliance. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Power Disconnection: Before beginning any installation, ensure the combined damper unit is completely powered off and disconnected from the main power supply. This prevents electrical hazards.
2. Surface Preparation: If replacing an existing membrane, carefully remove the old one. Clean the control panel surface thoroughly, ensuring it is free of dust, grease, moisture, or adhesive residue. A clean, dry surface is essential for proper adhesion.
3. Alignment: Carefully align the new Fagor Keyboard Membrane (HEI-10-21, HEI-20-21) with the control panel. Ensure all cutouts for buttons, indicators, and mounting points match perfectly with the underlying components.
4. Adhesion: Gently press the membrane into place, starting from one end and working your way across. Apply even pressure to ensure a secure and uniform adhesion across the entire surface. Avoid trapping air bubbles underneath the membrane.
5. Testing: Once the membrane is securely installed, reconnect the power supply to the combined damper. Power on the unit and test all functions and buttons to ensure proper operation and responsiveness.

Operating Instructions

The keyboard membrane provides the intuitive user interface for your Fagor combined damper. Familiarize yourself with the symbols and their corresponding functions:

• Temperature Control: Look for the thermometer symbol. Use the adjacent '+' and '-' buttons or arrows to adjust the cooking temperature.
• Fan Speed: Symbols resembling a fan with varying numbers of waves indicate controls for fan speed or air circulation within the damper.
• Timer: The clock symbol (often with an 'L' or similar) is used to set cooking durations or delay start times.
• Steam/Humidity: Icons depicting steam or water droplets are for controlling humidity levels, crucial for certain cooking processes.
• Cleaning Functions: Symbols resembling a shower or spray nozzle indicate access to self-cleaning or washing cycles for the damper's interior.

For detailed operational sequences, specific program settings, and advanced features, please refer to the main user manual provided with your Fagor combined damper unit.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and continued responsiveness of your Fagor Keyboard Membrane, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Regular Cleaning: Regularly clean the surface of the keyboard membrane with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, a mild, non-abrasive soap solution can be used.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, alcohol-based cleaners, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the membrane's surface, fade symbols, or compromise its integrity.
• Prevent Liquid Seepage: Ensure that no liquids seep under the edges of the membrane, as this could damage the underlying electronic components.
• Periodic Inspection: Periodically inspect the membrane for any signs of wear, peeling, cracks, or fading symbols. If significant wear is observed, consider replacing the membrane to maintain clear visibility of controls and proper functionality.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Fagor Keyboard Membrane, consider the following common problems and solutions:

• Buttons Unresponsive:
  • Ensure the combined damper unit is powered on and properly connected.
  • Check if the membrane is properly seated and adhered to the control panel without any lifted edges.
  • If individual buttons remain unresponsive, the underlying switch might be faulty, or the membrane's conductive layer could be damaged.
• Symbols Faded or Peeling:
  • This is typically a sign of normal wear and tear or exposure to inappropriate cleaning agents. For optimal usability, the membrane should be replaced.
• General Malfunctions After Replacement:
  • If the damper exhibits unusual behavior immediately after membrane replacement, re-check the installation steps to ensure everything is correctly aligned and secured.
  • If issues persist, it is recommended to consult a qualified technician or Fagor customer support.
