Safety when operating
•Residual heat
After a long cooking period, the zone used
can remain hot for several minutes. An ‘’
H
’’
flashes during this period. Do not put your
hand on the zone.
•Temperature limiter
Each cooking zone is equipped with a safety
sensor that constantly monitors the tempera-
ture of the bottom of the cookware. If you
leave empty cookware on a zone which is
turned on, it will automatically limit the power
in order to prevent damage to the cookware
or hob.
• Protection against overflows
In case of overflow, or of a metallic object or
wet cloth placed on the control areas, the hob
turns itself off, the displays light up and a
beep sounds. Clean the hob or remove the
object, then begin cooking again.
•Auto-Stop system
If you forget cooking is in progress, after a
predefined time, this safety function will auto-
matically turn off your hob (from 1 to 10 hours
depending on the power setting). “AS” dis-
plays and a beep sounds after about
2 minutes. Press on the main selector to
delete this information. A beep will confirm
your setting.
• “Small Items” safety
If you place a small object on the area (a ring,
a fork, etc), the hob will detect it and not deliv-
er any power. The power display flashes.
Note:
However, several small objects at the same
time on a zone could be identified as cook-
ware. In that case, power will be delivered by
the hob.
It is recommended that you avoid
placing metal objects such as knives,
forks, spoons and lids on the cooking sur-
face, as they may become hot.
