Thermal retraction stop sensor
Your Salamander is fitted with a thermal
retraction stop sensor to prevent
damage 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 appliance only heats up when the
browning unit is raised to at least
70 mm above the ceramic standing
surface.
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
automatically switch back on again.
You can tell that the overheating
protection has activated because the
heating switches on and off even when
the highest setting is selected.
Obstruction sensor
If the browning unit meets an
obstruction (e.g. a dish) whilst it is
being lowered, it stops immediately and
rises again by approx. 10 mm.
