Overheating protection
Cooking zones
Each zone is equipped with overheating protection (internal
temperature limiter). This switches off the heating elements in
the cooking zone before the ceramic surface overheats.
If the heating element switches on and off even when the
highest power level is selected, this indicates that the
overheating protection mechanism has triggered.
Once the ceramic surface has cooled down to a safe level,
the heating element will automatically switch back on again.
Overheating can be caused by:
–a cooking zone being switched on without a pan on it.
– heating up an empty pan.
– the base of a pan not sitting evenly on the cooking zone.
– the pan not conducting heat properly.
Control panel
The control panel electronic unit is equipped with overheating
protection. This switches off the hob automatically before the
electronic unit overheats.
The fault code FE37 will appear.
Once the electronic unit has cooled down sufficiently, the
fault code will go out and you can use the hob again.
Overheating can occur if several cooking zones are heated at
a high power level for a long period of time.
