Overheating protection
All the induction coils and the cooling
element for the electronics are fitted
with an overheating protection
mechanism.
To prevent the induction coils and
cooling element from overheating, the
overheating protection mechanism
works on the affected cooking zone or
on the entire hob in the following ways:
–
If the booster function is being used,
this will be deactivated.
–
The power level will be reduced.
– If an induction coil is affected, the
cooking zone with that coil will be
switched off and an H will appear in
the display.
Other cooking zones may switch off
shortly afterwards.
^ Turn the control for the affected
zone(s) to "0".
The cooking zone can only be used
again in the normal way after the H has
gone out.
If the control is not turned back to "0", C
and 0 will flash in the display
alternately. To use the cooking zone
again, first turn the control to "0".
–
If the cooling element is affected, the
power supply to the cooking zones
will be reduced.
As soon as the cooling element has
cooled down sufficiently, the cooking
zones will continue operating at the
original power setting.
–
If the temperature rises after the
power supply has been reduced, the
cooking zones will switch off.
Other cooking zones may switch off
shortly afterwards.
C and 0 will flash alternately in the
display.
^
Turn the control for the affected
zone(s) to "0".
The cooking zones can be used again
as soon as they have cooled down to a
safe level.
Overheating can be caused by:
– heating up an empty pan
– fats or oils being heated up on the
highest power setting.
– there being insufficient ventilation to
the underside of the appliance.
If the overheating protection
mechanism triggers again, contact the
Service department.
