Automatic protection settings
The appliance has a number of safety fea-
tures to prevent it from being damaged during
operation. If the hob is properly installed and
used, these protection settings will rarely be
used.
Automatic reduction in
performance
The temperature of the electronic elements
inside the appliance are continuously meas-
ured by a sensor.
If the elements become too hot, the appliance
will automatically switch off.
Operating time limit
For safety reasons, each cooking zone is pro-
vided with an operating time limit. If the heat
setting is not changed for a prolonged peri-
od of time, the cooking zone is automatically
switched off and the residual heat symbol “
H
“ ”
is activated.
The maximum operating time is set in accord-
ance with the most recently selected heat
setting.
