Extra safety
Safety hob
■ A sensor continuously measures the
temperature of certain parts of the hob. In
case of temperatures rising too high, the
power is reduced automatically.
■ As soon as you remove the pan from the
hob, the cooking zone automatically stops.
Accustom yourself to stop the cooking
zone or hob manually to avoid unintended
switching on of the induction hob.
Safety pans
Every cooking zone is equipped with a sensor
that measures the temperature of the bottom
of the pan to avoid any risk of overheating
when a pan boils dry.
Safety metal parts
Small objects such as very small pans (less
than 12 cm or less than 10 cm in the
16 cm zone), forks or spoons are not detected
as pans by the hob. The display of the cooking
setting continues to flash and the zone will not
switch on.
Overheating protection
The appliance may become overheated if:
■ the pan does not conduct the heat
adequately;
■ fat or oil is heated at a high setting;
■ there is insufficient circulation of air (see
also ventilation protection in the
installation part of this manual).
In the event of overheating the result will be
that the cooking zone in question or all the
cooking zones will display one of the following
reactions:
■ the hob will reduce the power supplied
slightly (this is not visible in the cooking
settings in the displays);
■ if this does not help, the hob switch off and
a series of dashes will appear in the
displays.
As soon as the cooking zone(s) has/have
cooled down sufficiently, the dashes
disappear and the cooking zones remain
switched off.
Prevent the overheating protection becoming
activated by:
■ using pans that are good conductors of
heat;
■ heating up fat or oil at a lower setting;
■ making sure there is sufficient ventilation.
If, despite the above-mentioned measures
having been taken, the overheating protection
becomes activated again, contact the service
department or a professionally qualified
specialist.

Cooking-time limiter table
Childproof lock
Your induction hob is equipped with a
childproof lock that lets you lock the
appliance:
■ When the hob is switched off (for cleaning
the appliance or to prevent unintended
switching on by children);
■ or during cooking (the zones stay in
operation and the level you have set in the
displays will not change).
If the childproof lock is switched on during
cooking, the on/off keys still work for safety
reasons. Don't forget to unlock the keypad
before using it again.
Switch on childproof lock
Press on the lock button (+/- 5 seconds)
until the lamp above the button lights up and
you hear a beep signal.
Locked cooking zone in operation
On the display the symbol and the capacity
being used by the cooking zone concerned
are shown alternately. When you use a button
from the cooking zone that is switched on, the
lamp above the lock button will burn for a few
seconds. For safety reasons you can still turn
off the cooking zone using the on/off
button .
When you use a button for a cooking zone that
is not switched on, the symbol is displayed
and the lamp above the lock key will come on
for a few seconds.
Switch off childproof lock
Press the lock button (+/ 5 seconds) until
the lamp above the button goes out. You hear
a double beep signal
Clean Lock function
By pressing the child lock during use, all
buttons are blocked for 1 minute. This is useful
when cleaning up something which has boiled
over, for example. The original settings
remain.
Beep signal
You can switch the beep signal for the “+” and
“-“ buttons on and off. Switch the beep signal
off by setting the front left hand zone on and
off and then pressing both “-“ buttons of the
left zones within 3 seconds. To confirm that
the change has been accepted, the code ..
appears on the display. The beep signal can
be switched on again by repeating this
process.
