If the Hob is overheated because of abnormal operation, will be displayed. And the Hob will be switched off.

If cookware is unsuitable or too small or no cookware has been placed on the

cooking zone, will be displayed. And after 1 minute the corresponding cooking zone will be switched off.

Should one or more of the cooking zones switch off before the indicated time has elapsed, see the section “Troubleshooting”.

Other reasons why a cooking zone will switch itself off

All cooking zones will immediately switch themselves off if liquid boils over and lands on the control panel.

The automatic shutoff will also be activated if you place a damp cloth on the control panel. In both of these instances, the appliance will need to be switched

on again using the main On/Off control sensor after the liquid or the cloth has been removed .

Residual heat indicator

When an individual cooking zone or the hob is turned off, the presence of residual heat is

shown with an (for “hot”) in the digital display of the appropriate cooking zones. Even after the cooking zone has been switched off, the residual heat indicator goes out only after the cooking zone has cooled.

You can use the residual heat for thawing or keeping food warm.

WARNING

As long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated, there is a risk of burns.

If the power supply is interrupted, the symbol will go out and information about WARNING residual heat will no longer be available. However, it may still be possible to burn

yourself. This can be avoided by always taking care when near the hob.
