Overheating protection

All the induction coils and the cooling elements for the electronics are fitted with an overheating protection mechanism. To prevent the induction coils and cooling elements from overheating, the overheating protection mechanism works on the affected cooking zone or on the entire hob in the following ways:

–If the Booster function is being used, this will be switched off.

–The power level will be reduced.

–If an induction coil is affected, the error message FE99 appears and the hob switches itself off.

The error message will go out, and the residual heat indicator will appear in the display of any cooking zone which is still hot.

The hob can only be used again when the induction coil has cooled down sufficiently.

–If a cooling element is affected, the power supply to the cooking zones will be reduced, and the set power level will continue to be displayed.

As soon as the cooling element has cooled down sufficiently, the cooking zones will automatically continue to operate at the original power setting.

Overheating can be caused by:

–Heating up an empty pan

–Fats or oils being heated up on the highest power setting.

–There being insufficient ventilation to the underside of the appliance.

If the overheating protection mechanism triggers again, contact the Service department.
