Overheating protection

Each burner is equipped with a temperature limiter. This limiter turns off the heating elements in the burner before the ceramic surface becomes too hot. Once the ceramic surface has cooled to a safe temperature, the heating elements will automatically turn back on.

The overheating protection can be activated by:

turning on a burner without putting a pan on it.

heating an empty pan.

an uneven pan not sitting evenly on the burner.

the pan not conducting heat properly.

If the heating elements cycle on and off, even at the highest setting, the overheating protection has been activated.
