SAFETY DURING OPERATION:
Temperature limiter: Each cooking zone is equipped
with a safety sensor that constantly monitors the tem-
perature of the bottom of the cookware. In the event
that an empty vessel is left on a cooking zone that is
on, this sensor automatically adjusts the power output
of the hob, thereby avoiding any risk of damage to the
cookware or the hob.
Protection against overflows: The hob may shut down
and a special display (with the
(depending on the model) may be heard in one of the
following three cases: An overflow that spills onto the
touch controls (5.1.2). Damp towel placed over the
touch controls. Metallic object placed on the touch
controls. Clean the hob or remove the object, then
begin cooking again.
Auto-Stop system: If you forget to switch off a cooking
zone, your hob has an "Auto-Stop system" safety
function which automatically cuts off the power to the
forgotten cooking zone after a preset period (between
1 and 10 hours depending on the power setting used).
If this safety function is triggered, then the affected
cooking zone is shown by an "AS"or "A" display on
the control panel and a beep will be heard for approxi-
mately two minutes. Simply press any of the control
buttons to stop this. A double beep will confirm your
action.
