SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Safety systems
In order to protect the electronics from overheating if the control unit detects excessive
heat it will switch off the hotplate closest to the sensors and the letter H will appear on
the display. This hotplate can be activated when the temperature of the electronic unit
returns to normal.
Each hotplate is equiped with an interior temperature limiter that switches off the hotplate
if the radiant surface is heated excessively.
If any cracks appear in the radiant surface, immediately disconnect it from the mains. Do
not use any part of the cooktop until a new radiant surface has been fitted.
Automatic
If a hotplate is left on accidentally, it will automatically be switched off after a period of
time has elapsed, depending on the power level that has been selected (level 1 - 10
hours, level 9 - 1 hour).
If more than one sensor is pressed simultaneously, the keys are blocked.
If all the power levels are at 0, the control is automatically switched off after 5 seconds.
If one or more sensors are pressed for more than 30 seconds (for instance a cooking pot
or pan is resting on the sensor), the control will automatically be switched off and a
warning will sound every 30 seconds while the sensor remains pressed.
