Acoustic signal
Some anomalies, such as:
•
an object (pot, utensil, etc.) placed on the control
area for more than 10 seconds,
•
a spillage on the control panel,
•
sustained pressure on one of the keys, etc.
may cause the acoustic signal to go off.
Remove the cause of the malfunction to stop the acoustic
signal. The hob remains locked; all you have to do is un-
lock it to continues using it (the settings are saved). If the
cause of the malfunction is not eliminated, the acoustic
signal will carry on, while the hob will switch off for safety
reasons.
Safety switch
The appliance comes with an automatic safety switch
which goes off after a certain time interval (see table) in
accordance with the selected power. During the safety in-
terruption, the letters “
TI
” and “
ME
” alternate on the dis-
play.
for example: the right rear cooking zone is set on 5 and
the front left cooking zone is set on 2. The right rear zone
will switch off after 5 hours of operation, while the left front
zone will switch off after 6 hours of operation.

Inactivity
If the plate is switched on but is not used for approximately
2 minutes, the control lock function will be enabled.
If the
same status remains for approximately another 4
minutes, the plate will switch off automatically.
Overheating
Prolonged use of the hob may cause the electrical com-
ponents to overheat.
A thermal protection device temporarily induces reduced
power (3) on the front cooking zones until the tempera-
ture has come down to an acceptable level.
