change the level, the safety mechanism will switch the hotplate off after 10 hours.

Protection against overheating

Induction cooktop is also fitted with safety device against overheating which protects electronic parts from damages. This device operates on several levels. When cooking zone’s temperature increases excessively, the two-stage fan switches first. If this is not enough, extra powerful heating is deactivated, and finally the safety device either reduces the heating power of certain cooking zones or turns them off completely. When the hotplate cools off, the full power of hotplate is again available. So during the operation you can hear an steady hum due to the turning on of the cooling fan. It is possible that the cooling fan continues to operate even after the cooktop turning off.

Switching a heater off Pressing the heater keys (+ and -) at the same time switches off the

manuallycorresponding heater and the display shows the power level as 0. We can also switch off the heater by pressing the key (-) until the display shows the power level as 0.

General off	The general off function can be performed regardless of the operating mode of the
	cook top by pressing the on/off sensor (F).
	When the cook top is turned off, a beep sounds and the displays turn off, as long
	as an ‘H’ is not being shown on the corresponding display as a result of residual
	heat or an alarm.

Displaying power levels	Power level 0:
	A constant “0” is displayed on the heater display. If the induction generator
	indicates residual heat, the display alternates between “0” and “H”. This
	indication only disappears when there is no longer any danger (at 50 °C).
	The display shows a “0” as long as the temperature remains below 50 °C,
	whereas it shows an “H” whenever the temperature exceeds 50 °C.
	To save energy, turn off the burner in advance, in order to exploit the residual
	heat.
	Power level 1…9, P:
	If no pan is detected or if an aluminium pan is detected, the power level flashes
	on the heater display. After 30 seconds, if a non-aluminium pan is not detected,
	the power level returns to 0.
	When a non-aluminium pan is detected, the power level is shown constant on
	the heater display.
Power Management	In cases where the cooktop is already in operation for some time, to change the
	limit of power, before proceeding with the planning, unplug it, then reinsert the
	plug after a couple of minutes.
	The power drawn is 2800 W, but you can increase it at 3500 W, 6000 W or
	7200W.
