12.5.5 Thermal protection glass-ceramic hob
Every cooking zone has a device that constantly measures the temperature. If the temperature
surpasses certain values, the device will activate certain functions to lower the temperature and allow
the glass-ceramic hob to continue to work correctly. Below is a table with the operations that are
activated automatically and the relative start temperature:
Operation Activating temperature
Operating power reduced from Power to 9 250 °C
Reduction of the power of a point 280 °C
Switching off the cooking zone 300 °C
Return of the power to the set value 250 °C
Every intervention of this type will be identified on the cooking hob with a light on the power display.
Take care not to spill sugar or sweet mixtures on to the hob when hot.
Never place materials or substances which may melt (plastic or
aluminium foil) on the hob. If this occurs, promptly switch off and
remove the molten material with the scraper provided while the
cooking zone is still warm to prevent it from being damaged. Failure
to instantly clean the ceramic hob could lead to encrustations
which are impossible to remove once the hob has cooled down.
Important! Beware of children in the vicinity as the warning lights indicating residual heat are out
of sight to them. In fact, even after having been turned off, the cooking zone remains hot for a
certain period of time. Make sure that children never touch the hob.
Do not leave metal objects on the hob: they could get very hot.
12.5.6 Keep Warm Function
The purpose of the keep warm function is to regulate the temperature of the bottom of the cookware to
approximately 65°C. This allows for keeping food warm at the ideal power level, as well as heating
slowly. The maximum duration of the keep warm function is limited to 2 hours. The keep warm function
is between [0] and [1] and is indicated with appropriate symbols on the cooking zones.
