Extra safety
Safety hob
■ A sensor continuously measures the
temperature of certain parts of the hob. In
case of temperatures rising too high, the
power is reduced automatically.
■ As soon as you remove the pan from the
hob, the cooking zone automatically stops.
Accustom yourself to stop the cooking
zone or hob manually to avoid unintended
switching on of the induction hob.
Safety pans
Every cooking zone is equipped with a sensor
that measures the temperature of the bottom
of the pan to avoid any risk of overheating
when a pan boils dry.
Safety metal parts
A small part like a pan that is too little (smaller
than 12 cm), a fork or a spoon is not
recognised as a pan by the induction hob. The
display of the cooking setting continues to
flash and the zone will not switch on.
Overheatingprotection
The appliance may become overheated if:
■ the pan does not conduct the heat
adequately;
■ fat or oil is heated at a high setting;
■ there is insufficient circulation of air (see
also ventilation protection in the
installation part of this manual).
In the event of overheating the result will be
that the cooking zone in question or all the
cooking zones will display one of the following
reactions:
■ the hob will reduce the power supplied
slightly (this is not visible in the cooking
settings in the displays);
■ if this does not help, the hob switch off and
a series of dashes will appear in the
displays.
As soon as the cooking zone(s) has/have
cooled down sufficiently, the dashes
disappear and the cooking zones remain
switched off.
Prevent the overheating protection becoming
activated by:
■ using pans that are good conductors of
heat;
■ heating up fat or oil at a lower setting;
■ making sure there is sufficient ventilation.
If, despite the above-mentioned measures
having been taken, the overheating protection
becomes activated again, contact the service
department or a professionally qualified
specialist.

USE
In case of a cooking zone automatically
switched off, the display of that cooking zone
returns an “A” until you press the + or - button
of the cooking zone.
Childproof lock
Your induction hob is equipped with a
childproof lock that lets you lock the
appliance:
■ When the hob is switched off (for cleaning
the appliance or to prevent unintended
switching on by children);
■ or during cooking (the zones stay in
operation and the level you have set in the
displays will not change).
If the childproof lock is switched on during
cooking, the on/off keys still work for safety
reasons. Don't forget to unlock the keypad
before using it again.
