DIP 3 and 4: Installation height / hob type
For hobs up to a width of 60 cm the sensor can be fitted 45-70 cm
above the hob. Any lower and it might not comply with EN50615.
For wider hobs (up to 90 cm) the sensor must be fitted 65-70 above
the hob to cover the full width.
* Increased alarm threshold
Ceramic hobs give off a lot of radiant and residual heat, which can lead
to false alarms, as the sensor also measures the heat outside the actual
ring. Allowance can be made for this by increasing the alarm threshold
for the smallest rings.
NB: Increasing the alarm thresholds will reduce safety, because in certain
cases the Cooker Guard will not differentiate between the smallest
plates and radiant/residual heat. Nor will the Cooker Guard comply with
EN50615 in some cases when a higher alarm threshold is set.
We would, however, recommend using cookware that covers the entire
heating zone instead and turning the ring off BEFORE removing the
cookware.
NB: Does not apply to induction hobs.
