The childlock
The hob is equipped with a childlock to lock the controls. This can be used when the hob is off or during cooking.
To set the childlock
•
Touch the childlock key for approximately three seconds until the LED above the childlock key illuminates and the hob
beeps to confirm the childlock is switched on.
To turn off the childlock
•
Touch the childlock key for approximately three seconds until the LED above the childlock key goes out and the hob
beeps twice to confirm the childlock is switched off.
Use of the childlock when the hob is off
•
The childlock LED will illuminate briefly when any zone control key is touched.
Use of the childlock when the hob is in use
•
The zone control display will alternate between showing the selected power level and the locked symbol for any
zone in use.
•
For any zone not in use, the display will show the locked symbol, the hob will beep and the childlock LED will
illuminate briefly when the control keys are touched.
•
It is possible to switch off a zone when the childlock is on for safety reasons.
Residual Heat Indicators
The hob is equipped with residual heat indicators to warn when any of the zones are still hot to the touch after cooking.
An H will flash in the relevant zone display after cooking until the zone is at a safe temperature to touch.
Please
note:
•
You should avoid touching the zones when the hob is in use, or when an H is showing on the zone display.
•
In the event of a power cut, the residual heat indicators will illuminate after the power supply is restored. However,
when there is no power supply to the hob the residual heat indicators will not work, so extra care must be taken.
Temperature Limiters
The hob is equipped with a temperature limiting sensor that adjusts the power output of the hob if the bottom of the
cookware becomes too hot, preventing damage to the cookware and to the hob itself.
Small Object Safety
The hob will not operate if a small object is left on the hob top, for example a fork. The zone control display will flash to
warn there is something too small on the hob.
Please note:
•
•
Several small objects left together may be detected by the hob as a piece of cookware. In this case, the zone will
operate and the objects may heat up.
Auto-stop Protection
The hob is equipped with a sensor that will switch off the hob, and display the symbol in any of the
following situations:
•
Overflow from the pan spills over the control keys
A damp cloth is placed over the control keys
•
A metallic object is placed over the control keys
