SAFETY DURING OPERATION
•
Residual heat
After intensive use, the cooking zone that you
have just used can remain hot for several min-
utes.
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 tempera-
ture 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 cook-
ware.
If the display remains on: power may be
supplied and the objects may be heated.
•
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 con-
trols.
Clean the hob or remove the object, then
begin cooking again.
•
Auto-Stop system
If you forget to switch off a cooking zone,
your hob has an "
AAuuttoo--SSttoopp ssyysstteemm
" safety
function which automaticallty cuts off the
power to the cooking zone, after a predefined
period (between 1 and 10 hours depending
on the power used).
If this safety system is used, the cutoff to the
cooking zone is displayed as "
AASS
" or "
AA
" on
the control panel and a "bip" sounds for about
2 minutes. Simply press any of the control
buttons to stop this.
A double bip will confirm your action.
