Safety lock/System lock

Keep children away from the hob for their own safety.

Your appliance is equipped with a safety lock to prevent the hob and the cooking zones being switched on or any settings being altered.

The safety lock is activated when the hob is switched on. If the safety lock is activated:

–The settings for the cooking zones and the timer settings cannot be changed.

–The cooking zones and hob can be switched off, but once switched off cannot be switched on again.

The system lock is activated when the hob is switched off. If the system lock is activated, the hob cannot be switched on and the timer cannot be used.

The hob is programmed in such a way that the system lock has to be operated manually. The settings can be changed so that the system lock is activated automatically five minutes after the hob has been switched off (see "Programming").

If a sensor switched is touched when the safety lock or the system lock is activated, the indicator lamp comes on.

The safety lock and the system lock are deactivated in the case of a power cut.

You can alter the setting from one-finger to three-finger operation (see "Programming") to make it harder for children to operate the appliance.
