Other reasons why a cooking zone will switch itself off
All cooking zones will switch themselves off if liquid boils over and lands on the control panel.
The automatic shutoff will also be activated if you place a damp cloth on the control panel. In both of these instances, the appliance will need to be switched on again using the main On/Off control sensor after the liquid or the cloth has been removed.
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
When an individual cooking zone or the hob is turned off, the presence of residual heat is shown with an , (for “hot”) in the digital display of the appropriate cooking zones. Even after the cooking zone has been switched off, the residual heat indicator goes out only after the cooking zone has cooled.
You can use the residual heat for thawing or keeping food warm.
As long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated, there is a WARNING risk of burns.
If the power supply is interrupted, the , symbol will go out WARNING and information about residual heat will no longer be available.
However, it may still be possible to burn yourself. This can be avoided by always taking care when near the hob.
TEMPERATURE DETECTION
If for any reason the temperatures on any of the cooking zones were to exceed the safety levels, should this happen then the cooking zone will automatically reduce to a lower power level. When you have finished using the hob, the cooling fan will continue to run until the hob’s electronics has cooled down. And the cooling fan switched itself off depending upon the temperature of the electronics.
