Safety features

Safety switch-off

Your hob is fitted with a safety switch-off feature in case you forget to switch it off yourself.

Safety switch-off with an over-long cooking time

If one of the cooking zones is heated for an unusually long period of time (see chart), and the power settings are not altered, the hob will switch itself off automatically and the appropriate residual heat indicator will appear.

To use the cooking zone again, switch it back on in the usual way.

*The continued cooking settings with a dot after the number are only available if the power level has been increased (see "Programming").

Safety switch-off if the sensors are covered

Your hob will switch off automatically if one or several of the sensors remain covered for longer than 10 seconds, for example, by finger contact, food boiling over or by an object such as an oven glove or tea towel.

An audible tone will sound every 30 seconds (for a maximum of ten minutes) and an F will flash in the display for the sensor switch which is covered.

^Clean the control area or remove the obstruction.

This will turn off the tone and the F will go out.

^Switch the hob back on again with the ON/OFF sensor s. The cooking zones can now be used again as normal.
