Limiting the cooking duration
The hob has an automatic device which limits the duration of use.
If the cooking zone settings are not changed, the maximum duration of operation of each zone depends
on the power level selected.
When the device for limiting the duration of use is activated, the cooking zone turns off, a short alert is
sounded and if the zone is hot the symbol
will show on the display.

Protection from hob overheating
If the hob is used on full power for a long period, the electronics will have trouble cooling down if the
room temperature is high.
To prevent the electronics overheating, a device will trigger to cut power to the front cooking zones and

will flash.
If the electronic circuit-board temperature does not reduce, the device will cut power to all the cooking
zones and
will display (on some models only).
Cooking can be resumed once the temperature returns below alarm levels.
The rear cooking zones are recommended for prolonged cooking at high power levels.
