Safety features

Thermal retraction stop sensor
Your salamander is fitted with a thermal
retraction stop sensor to prevent dam-
age to the appliance when lowering the
browning unit. This ensures that the
browning unit can only be fully lowered
once the appliance has cooled down
sufficiently, i.e. once the residual heat
indicator has gone out.
Height recognition
The salamander only heats up when the
browning unit is raised to at least 70
mm.
Overheating protection
The halogen heating element in the
browning unit is fitted with overheating
protection. This switches off the heating
element automatically before the
ceramic surface overheats. Once the
ceramic surface has cooled down to a
safe level, the heating element will auto-
matically switch back on again. You can
tell that the overheating protection has
activated because the heating switches
on and off even when the highest set-
ting is selected.
Obstruction sensor
If the browning unit meets an obstruc-
tion (e.g. a dish) whilst it is being
lowered, it stops immediately and rises
again by approx. 10 mm.
