8.5.5 Glass ceramic hob thermal protection
Every cooking zone has a device that constantly measures the temperature. If the temperature
surpasses certain values, the device will activate certain functions to lower the temperature and allow
the glass ceramic hob to continue to work correctly. Below is a table with the operations that are
activated automatically and the relative start temperature:
Operation
Activating temperature
Operating power reduced from Power to 9
250 °C
Reduction of the power of a point
280 °C
Switching off the cooking zone
300 °C
Return of the power to the set value
250 °C
Every intervention of this type will be identified on the cooking hob with a flashing light on the power
display.
Take care not to spill sugar or sweet mixtures on to the hob when hot.
Never place materials or substances which may melt (plastic or
aluminium foil) on the hob. If this occurs, promptly switch off and
remove the molten material with the scraper provided while the
cooking zone is still warm to prevent it from being damaged.
Failure
to instantly clean the glass ceramic hob could lead to
encrustations which are impossible to remove once the hob has
cooled down.
Important! Beware of children as the residual heat indicator lights are out of sight to them. The
cooking zones remain hot for a certain period of time even after they have been turned off. Make
sure that children never touch the hob.
Do not leave metal objects on the hob: they could get very hot.
8.5.6 Keep Warm Function
The purpose of the keep warm function is to regulate the temperature of the bottom of the cookware to
approximately 65°C. This allows for keeping food warm at the ideal power level, as well as heating
slowly. The maximum duration of the keep warm function is limited to 2 hours. The keep warm function
is between [0] and [1] and is indicated with appropriate symbols on the cooking zones.
