The following safety functions are available to
avoid unintended operations of the hob control.
Sensor Safety Cut Off
To prevent the appliance from unwanted, random
sensor operation, a sensor monitor is included.
In case of one or more buttons are pressed
longer than 12 sec, the sensor monitoring routine
indicates acoustically that wrong operation (pot or
other object placed on the button, sensor failure,
etc.) and switches off the appliance.
The safety turn off causes that the hob control is
turned off to the S-Mode. An ´F` will flash in all
heater displays.
If residual heat is present, it will be displayed in all
other heater displays.
The hob control will then go in S-Mode. At the
same time a buzzer signal appears. After 10
minutes the acoustic signaling will stop.
If there is no erroneous operation present any
longer, both the visual and the acoustic signal will
disappear.
Over Temperature Switch Off
To prevent the hob control unit from damage, the
control monitors
and switches off in case of an overheating
Emergency.
Due to the controls being placed very close to the
heater in the middle front of the hob, it is possible
that a pan or pot that is placed on half of one of
the controls may not be detected by the 'Sensor
Safety Cut Off' (described above). In such a case,
it is possible that the pot might be pressing a
button, causing the hob section to heat to a very
high temperature, where the glass is untouchable
without getting burnt.
the temperature at all times
The letter 't' will be displayed in each
heater display until the temperature decreases.

TOUCH CONTROL SAFETY FUNCTIONS
After the temperature falling, the ´t` displays will
be erased and the hob control unit falls back into
the S-Mode. This means that the user can
reactivate the appliance by touching .
Operating Time Limitations
The hob control unit has a limitation of the
operating time. If the heat setting for this heater
has not been changed for a certain time, than the
heater will turn off automatically (for 10 sec a ´0` is
displayed, afterwards the residual heat). The limit
of the operating time depends on the selected
heat setting. If a timer was associated with the
heater than a ´00` will be displayed on the timer
display for 10 sec. Afterwards the timer display
turns off.
After an automatic turn off of the heater, as
described above, the heater is operable again
and the maximum operating time for this heat
setting is applied.
Residual Heat Functions
After all cooking processes there is some heat
stored in the vitroceramic glass called residual
heat. The control can calculate roughly how hot
the glass is in the worst case. If the calculated
temperature is higher than + 60 ° C, then this
will be indicated in the corresponding heater
display after the heater or the hob control was
turned off. The residual heat display is shown as
long as the calculated heater temperature is > +
60 ° C.
The display of the residual heat has the lowest
priority and is overwritten by every other display
value, during safety turn offs and displaying an
error code.
After reapplying the supply voltage to the hob
control after an interruption of the supply voltage
occurred, causes that the residual heat display
flashes,
