13.5.5Thermal protection glass-ceramic hob

Every cooking zone has a device that constantly measures the temperature. If the temperature surpasses certain values, the device will activate certain functions to lower the temperature and allow the glass-ceramic hob to continue to work correctly. Below is a table with the operations that are activated automatically and the relative start temperature:

Operation	Activating temperature
Operating power reduced from Power to 9	250 °C
Reduction of the power of a point	280 °C
Switching off the cooking zone	300 °C
Return of the power to the set value	250 °C

Every intervention of this type will be identified on the cooking hob with a light on the power display.

Take care not to spill sugar or sweet mixtures on to the hob when hot. Never place materials or substances which may melt (plastic or aluminium foil) on the hob. If this occurs, promptly switch off and remove the molten material with the scraper provided while the cooking zone is still warm to prevent it from being damaged. Failure to instantly clean the glass-ceramic hob could lead to encrustations which are impossible to remove once the hob has cooled down.

Important! Beware of children as the residual heat indicator lights are out of sight to them. In fact, even after having been turned off, the cooking zones remain hot for a certain period of time. Make sure that children never touch the hob.

Do not leave metal objects on the hob: they could get very hot.

13.5.6Keep Warm Function

The purpose of the keep warm function is to regulate the temperature of the bottom of the cookware to approximately 65°C. This allows for keeping food warm at the ideal power level, as well as heating slowly. The maximum duration of the keep warm function is limited to 2 hours. The keep warm function is between [0] and [1] and is indicated with appropriate symbols on the cooking zones.
