Safety switch-off
Safety switch-off with an over-long
cooking time
Your cooktop is fitted with a safety
switch-off feature in case you forget to
switch it off yourself.
If one of the cooking zones is heated
for an unusually long period of time
(see chart), and the power settings are
not altered, the cooktop will switch itself
off automatically and the appropriate
residual heat indicator will appear.

To use the cooking zone again,
switch it back on in the usual way.
Safety switch-off if the sensors are
covered
Your cooktop will switch off
automatically if one or several of the
sensors remain covered for longer than
10 seconds, for example, by finger
contact, food boiling over or by an
object such as an oven glove or tea
towel.
An audible tone will sound every
30 seconds (for a maximum of ten
minutes) and an F will flash in the
display for the sensor which is covered.
^ Clean the control area or remove the
obstruction.
This will turn off the tone and the F will
go out.
^ Switch the cooktop back on again
with the ON/OFF sensor s. The
cooking zones can now be used
again as normal.
