Over-Temperature Protection
A temperature sensor equipped can monitor the temperature
inside the ceramic hob. When an excessive temperature is
monitored, the ceramic hob will stop operation automatically.
Residual Heat Warning
When the hob has been operating for some time, there will be
some residual heat. The letter
“H”
appears to warn you to keep
away from it.
Default working times
Another safety feature of the hob is automatic shutdown. This
occurs whenever you forget to switch off a cooking zone. The de-
fault shutdown times are shown in the table below:
Power level

Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, par-
ticularly if you’re using PowerBoost. At extremely high tempera-
tures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a se-
rious fire risk.
Cooking Tips
• When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature set-
ting.
