3.3.5 Over-Temperature Protection
A temperature sensor equipped can monitor the temperature inside the ceramic hob. When an excessive
temperature is monitored, the ceramic hob will stop operation automatically.
3.3.6 Residual Heat Warning
When the hob has been operating for some time, there will be some residual heat. The letter " H " appears
to warn you to keep away from it.
3.3.7 Default working times
Another safety feature of the hob is automatic shutdown. This occurs whenever you forget to switch off a
cooking zone. The default shutdown times are shown in the table below:

4. Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you're using
PowerBoost. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this
presents a serious fire risk.
4.1 Cooking Tips
When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting.
Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated through.
4.1.1 Simmering, cooking rice
Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 85˚C, when bubbles are just rising occasionally to
the surface of the cooking liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and tender stews because the
flavours develop without overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based and flour thickened
sauces below boiling point.
Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a setting higher than the
lowest setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time recommended.
