SAFETIES OF INDUCTION ZO-
NES DURING OPERATION
•Temperature limiter
Each cooking zone is equipped with a safety
sensor that constantly monitors the tempera-
ture of the bottom of the cookware. In the
event that an empty vessel is left on a cooking
zone that is on, this sensor automatically
adjusts the power output of the hob, thereby
avoiding any risk of damage to the cookware
or the hob.
•"Small Items" safety
A small object (such as a fork, a spoon, a ring,
etc.) left alone on the hob is not detected as a
piece of cookware.
The display flashes and no heat is produced.
Warning
Several small objects together on a
cooking zone may be detected as cook-
ware.
If the display remains on: power may be
supplied and the objects may be heated.
HOB SAFETIES DURING OPERA-
TION
•Residual heat
After intensive use, the cooking zone that you
have just used can remain hot for several min-
utes.
An ""H
H"" is displayed during this period.
Avoid touching the hot areas during this time.
Warning
Do not touch glowing cooking zones,
burn risk.
•Protection against overflows
The hob may shut down (with
the adjacent symbol in the
display) automatically in any
of these three situations:
-- Overflow that spills onto the touch controls.
- Damp towel placed over the touch controls.
- Metallic object placed on the touch con-
trols.
Clean the hob or remove the object, then
begin cooking again.
•Auto-Stop system
If you forget to switch off a cooking zone,
your hob has an "A

function which automaticallty cuts off the
power to the cooking zone, after a predefined
period (between 1 and 10 hours depending
on the power used).
If this safety system is used, the cutoff to the
cooking zone is displayed as "A
AS
S" or "A
A" on
the control panel and a "bip" sounds for about
2 minutes. Simply press any of the control
buttons to stop this.
A double beep will confirm your action.
