Safety switch-off
Safety switch-off with an over-long
cooking time
Your hob is fitted with a safety
switch-off feature in case you forget to
switch it off yourself.
If one of the cooking zones is heated
for an unusually long period of time
(see chart), and the power levels are
not altered, the hob will switch itself off
automatically and the appropriate
residual heat indicator will appear.

switch it back on in the usual way.
Safety switch-off if the sensors are
covered
Your hob will switch off automatically if
one or several of the sensors remain
covered for longer than 10 seconds, for
example, by finger contact, food boiling
over or by an object such as an oven
glove or tea towel.
An audible tone will sound every 30
seconds (for a maximum of ten
minutes) and an
F
will flash in the
display for the sensor which is covered.
^
Clean the control area or remove the
obstruction.
This will turn off the tone and the
F
will
go out.

Switch the hob back on again with
the ON/OFF sensor

zones can now be used again as
normal.
