Safety switch-off with an over-long

Your hob 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 zone will switch itself off
automatically and the appropriate
residual heat indicator will appear.

Safety switch-off if the sensors are
covered
Your hob will switch itself off
automatically if one or several of the
sensors remain covered for more than
about 10 seconds, for example by
finger contact, food boiling over, or by
an object such as an oven glove or a
tea towel. The residual heat symbol H
will light up in the display of any
cooking zones that are still hot.
^ Clean the control area or remove the
obstruction.
^ Switch the hob back on again with
the ON/OFF sensor s. The cooking
zones can now be used again as
normal.
