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 object like a pan that is too small (diameter of bottom smaller than
12 cm), a fork or a knife will not be recognised by the appliance. The display
continues to flash and the hob will not switch on.
Overheating protection
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 appliance will reduce the power a little;
■ in case this will not help the appliance will switch off and F8 will appear in
the displays.
If the appliance has cooled down sufficiently, you can switch it on again.
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.

Extra security
Various protective devices have been fitted in the appliance to protect the
electronics and your cooking utensils. If the appliance has been installed
correctly, the protective devices will rarely, if ever, have to come into operation.
Cooking-time limiter
The cooking-time limiter switches the cooking zones off after a certain time,
depending on the setting.
The time begins from the moment a setting has been selected. When a new
selection of a cooking setting is made, therefore, the time begins again.
The power of the warming zone is 65 watts. The zone switches off automatically
after 2 hours.
The table below shows the time taken before the cooking-time limiter switches
the cooking zone off at the various settings.
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.
Setting The zone switches off automatically after:
1 and 2 9 hours
3, 4 and 5 5 hours
6,7 and 8 4 hours
9 3 hours
10 2 hours
11 and b(oost) 1 hour
warming zone 2 hours
