detection protection
The cooking zone only reacts if a suitable pan is placed on it.
If there is just a spoon or a fork on the cooking zone, the
cooking zone does not switch on.
The displays of cooking settings continue to flash.
ventilation protection
The electronics have to be cooled. Cool air is drawn in behind
the kitchen cupboard and blown out again under the hob. The
appliance is only able to function, therefore, if sufficient air
can circulate.
When there is insufficient air circulation, the appliance
switches itself off after a short time.
Air circulation under
the induction hob.
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 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 will further reduce the
power level and show the selected cooking setting and
'F7' alternately in the displays. If this results in the hob
cooling down sufficiently, the power level that has been
set is restored;
– should the hob still not have cooled down sufficiently, the
hob will switch off one or more cooking zones and show
the cooking setting that has been set and 'F8' alternately
in the display. If this results in the hob cooling down
sufficiently, the power level that has been set is restored.
If this does not help after some time, the cooking zone
concerned will remain switched off.
As soon as the cooking zone(s) has/have cooled down
sufficiently, they can be operated normally once 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.
