Safety features
Overheating protection
Induction coils/Cooling elements
All the induction coils and the cooling elements for the electronics are fitted with an overheating protection mechanism. Before the induction coils or cooling elements get too hot, the overheating protection mechanism cuts in in one of the following ways:
Induction coils
–If the booster function is being used, this will be switched off.
–The power level will be reduced.
–The cooking zone will switch off automatically. The fault message "FE44" is displayed.
You will be able to use the cooking zones again as usual when the fault message has gone out.
Cooling elements
–If the booster function is being used, this will be switched off.
–The power level will be reduced.
–The cooking zones switch off automatically.
The affected cooking zones can only be used again as usual once the cooling element has cooled down to a safe level.
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.
–a hot cooking zone being switched on after a power cut.
If the overheating protection mechanism triggers again, contact the Service department.
