Overheating protection
Each zone is equipped with overheating
protection (internal temperature limiter).
This switches the cooking zone heating
off automatically before it overheats. As
soon as the cooking zone has cooled
down, the heating automatically
switches back on again.
The overheating mechanism can be
triggered by:
– a cooking zone being switched on
without a pan on it
– heating up an empty pan
– the base of a pan not sitting evenly
on the cooking zone
– the pan is not conducting heat prop-
erly.
You will be able to tell that the overheat-
ing protection mechanism has been
triggered if the heating element
switches on and off even when the
highest power level is selected.
