SAFETY SHUTOFF
If one of the cooking zones is not switched off or the heat setting is not adjusted after an
extended period of time, that particular cooking zone will automatically switch itself off.
Any residual warmth will be indicated with (for “hot”) in the digital displays
corresponding to the particular cooking zones.
The cooking zones switch themselves off at the following times.
Heat setting
Switch off
1-3
After 6 hours
4-6
After 5 hours
7-9
After 4 hours
10-15
After 1.5 hours
If the Hob is overheated because of abnormal operation, will be displayed.
And the Hob will be switched off.
If cookware is unsuitable or too small or no cookware has been placed on the
cooking zone, will be displayed. And after 1 minute the corresponding cooking
zone will be switched off.
Should one or more of the cooking zones switch off before the indicated time has
elapsed, see the section “Troubleshooting”.
Other reasons why a cooking zone will switch itself off
All cooking zones will immediately switch themselves off if liquid boils over and
lands on the control panel.
The automatic shutoff will also be activated if you place a damp cloth on the
control panel. In both of these instances, the appliance will need to be switched
on again using the main
On/Off control
sensor after the liquid or the cloth
has been removed .
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
When an individual cooking zone or the hob is turned off, the presence of residual heat is
shown with an (for “hot”) in the digital display of the appropriate cooking zones. Even
after the cooking zone has been switched off, the residual heat indicator goes out only
after the cooking zone has cooled.
You can use the residual heat for thawing or keeping food warm.
As long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated, there is a risk of burns.
If the power supply is interrupted, the symbol will go out and information about
residual heat will no longer be available. However, it may still be possible to burn
yourself. This can be avoided by always taking care when near the hob.
