SAFETY DURING OPERATION
•Residual heat
After intensive use, the cooking zone that you
have just used can remain hot for several
minutes.
An
""HH""
is displayed during this period.
Avoid touching the hot areas during this time.
•Temperature limiter
Each cooking zone is equipped with a safety
sensor that constantly monitors the
temperature 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.
•"Small Items" safety
A small object (such as a fork, a spoon, a ring,
etc.) left alone on the hob is not detected as a
piece of cookware.
The display flashes and no heat is produced.
Warning
Several small objects together on a
cooking zone may be detected as
cookware.
If the display remains on: power may be
supplied and the objects may be heated.

/ USING YOUR APPLIANCE
•Protection against overflows
The hob may shut down (with
the adjacent symbol in the
display) automatically in any
of these three situations:
--
Overflow that spills onto the touch controls.
- 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 turn off a cooking zone, your
hob is equipped with an
""AAuuttoo--SSttoopp ssyysstteemm""
safety measure that will automatically shut off
the forgotten cooking zone after an amount
of time pre-set at the factory (see the table
below).
In the event that this safety measure is
triggered, the powering off of the cooking
zone is indicated by an
""AA""
displayed in the
control panel. Simply pressing on any of the
touch controls will cancel this display.
