Safety features
Overheating protection
All the induction coils and the cooling elements for the electronics are fitted with an overheating protection mechanism. To prevent the induction coils and cooling elements from overheating, the overheating protection mechanism works on the affected cooking zone or on the entire hob in the following ways:
–If the booster function is being used, this will be switched off.
–The power setting will be reduced.
–If an induction coil is affected, the affected cooking zone will be switched off automatically.
The cooking zone can only be used again when the induction coil has cooled down sufficiently.
–If a cooling element is affected, the cooking zones concerned will be switched off automatically.
The affected cooking zones can only be used again as usual once the cooling element has cooled down to a safe level.
Overheating can be caused by:
–Heating up an empty pan
–Fats or oils being heated up on the highest power setting.
–There being insufficient ventilation to the underside of the appliance.
If the overheating protection mechanism triggers again, contact the Service department.
