protective devices
overheating protection
Three protective devices are fitted in the appliance to protect
against overheating.
The first protective device protects the electronics.
If the temperature of the electronics becomes too high, this
protective device comes into operation.
The appliance is switched off.
The fan continues to run, in order to cool the appliance
down.
Error message F7 appears in the display (see page 16,
"faults").
1 Press any button and the message disappears.
2 Switch the appliance on again.
3 Select a lower power level.
The second protective device protects your pans.
This protective device monitors the temperature of the glass
top. It is important that the bases of the pans are flat for this
protective device to work.
If the temperature of the glass top becomes too high, the
appliance automatically switches down to a lower power
level.
If this protective device is defective, there appear in the
display error messages F1 and F2 (for the front zones) or
F3 and F4 (for the rear zones).
Phone the service department if error messages F1, F2, F3,
F4, F5, F6, F8 or F9 appear in the display.
The third protective device protects against "catching fire". If
you put an empty pan on, or one containing just a little oil,
the hob will measure that the heating process is going too
quickly.
The appliance automatically switches down to a lower
power level.
This lower power level cannot be seen in the display.
As soon as the top reaches the maximum temperature,
the appliance is switched off to protect your pans.

maintenance
cleaning
daily cleaning
Although food that has boiled over cannot burn on, it is still
recommended that you clean the hob immediately after use.
For daily cleaning, you can best use a mild cleaning agent and
a damp cloth. Dry the hob with kitchen paper or a dry cloth.
stubborn stains
Stubborn stains can also be removed with a mild cleaning
agent - for example, washing-up liquid.
Remove water marks and lime stains with vinegar.
Traces of metals (due to sliding pans) can be difficult to
remove.
Remove traces of metals with a proprietary cleaning agent.
Remains of food that has boiled over are best removed with
a glass scraper. Melted plastic and sugar can also be
removed with a glass scraper.
never use
You should never use scouring agents. These cause
scratches in which lime deposits and dirt can accumulate.
Never use sharp objects such as steel wool and scourers.
tip
Before you start to clean, turn the childproof lock on.
