Safety when operating
•Residual heat
After a long cooking period, the zone used
can remain hot for several minutes. An ‘’
H
’’
flashes during this period. Do not put your
hand on the zone.
•Temperature limiter
Each cooking zone is equipped with a safety
sensor that constantly monitors the tempera-
ture of the bottom of the cookware. If you
leave empty cookware on a zone which is
turned on, it will automatically limit the power
in order to prevent damage to the cookware
or hob.
• Protection against overflows
In case of overflow, or of a metallic object or
wet cloth placed on the control areas, the hob
turns itself off, the displays light up and a
beep sounds. Clean the hob or remove the
object, then begin cooking again.
•Auto-Stop system
If you forget cooking is in progress, after a
predefined time, this safety function will auto-
matically turn off your hob (from 1 to 10 hours
depending on the power setting). “AS” dis-
plays and a beep sounds after about 2 min-
utes. Press on the main selector to delete this
information. A beep will confirm your setting.
• “Small Items” safety
If you place a small object on the area (a ring,
a fork, etc), the hob will detect it and not deliv-
er any power. The power display flashes.
Note:
However, several small objects at the same
time on a zone could be identified as cook-
ware. In that case, power will be delivered by
the hob.
Do not place any utensils (spoons,
forks, covers, etc) on the cooking
zone being used. They will heat up in the
same way as cookware:
Risk of combustion.
•For users with heart pacemakers and active implants.
The functioning of the hob conforms to current electromagnetic interference standards and thus
is in total compliance with legal requirements (89/336/EEC directives).
In order to avoid interference between your cooking hob and a pacemaker, your pacemaker
must be designed and programmed in compliance with the regulations that apply to it.
As we can guarantee the compliance only of our own products, we strongly recommend that
you refer to the maker of your device or to your doctor to avoid possible incompatibilities.
