6.3 Limitation on the duration of use
The hob has an automatic device which limits the duration of use.
The duration of operation of each cooking zone depends on the power level selected (see table).
The assumption is that no changes are made to the settings of the cooking zone while it is in operation.
When the device for limiting the duration of use is activated, the cooking zone turns off, a short alert is
sounded and
will show on the display.
However, the automatic switch-off function takes precedence over the limitation device; the cooking zone
only turns off after the time set for automatic switch-off is past (for example, switch-off after 99 minutes
and a power level of 9 is possible).

6.4 Other functions
Pressing two or more sensors at the same time or for a long period, e.g. due to accidentally placing a
saucepan on them, does not activate any of the switch-on functions. An acoustic alert is sounded and
the error code ER03 appears. The buttons deactivate after a few seconds. Remove the object from the
buttons.
6.5 Protection from overheating (induction)
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 avoid excessively high temperatures forming in the electronics, the power to the cooking zone is
reduced automatically.
If during normal use of the hob in normal room temperatures the code ER21 frequently appears, this
means that cooling is probably insufficient. This may be caused by insufficient cooling slits or the lack of
appropriate screening. If necessary, check the installation.
6.6 Saucepans suitable for use in induction cooking
The containers used on the induction cooking surface must be made of metal, with magnetic properties
and a sufficiently large base.
Only use saucepans with bases suitable for induction hotplates.
