Safety in use
•Residual heat
After a long period of cooking, the zone used
can remain hot for several minutes.
A "
" will be displayed during this period.
Do not put your hand on the zone.
•Temperature limiter
The cooking surface is equipped with a
safety sensor that constantly monitors the
temperature of the bottom of a pan. If you
leave empty cookware on a zone which is
turned on, the power will be limited
automatically to prevent damage to the
cookware or hob.
•Protection against spills
In the event of spillage, or of a metallic object
or wet cloth placed on the touch screen, the
hob turns itself off. Clean the screen or
remove the object and recommence cooking.
•Auto-Stop system
Should you forget that cooking is in progress,
this safety function will automatically turn the
hob off after a predefined time (between 1 and
8 hours depending on the power setting).
"A A u u t t o o S S t t o o p p " is displayed and a beep sounds
for about 2 minutes. Press an active button on
the touch screen to clear the information.
• • For users with heart pacemakers and active implants .
The hob's operation conforms to current electromagnetic interference standards and so
complies fully with legal requirements (89/336/EEC directives).
In order to avoid interference between the hob and a heart pacemaker, the pacemaker must be
designed and programmed in compliance with the regulations applying to its use.
Since we can only guarantee the compliance of our own products, we strongly recommend that
you refer to the manufacturer of your device or to your doctor, to avoid any possible
incompatibility.
•"Small Items" safety
If you place a small object on the surface (a
ring, a fork, etc), the hob will not detect it.
N N . . B B . . : :
However, several small objects on the surface
at the same time could be identified as
cookware. In that case, power will be
delivered by the hob.
It is recommended that you avoid
placing metal objects such as knives,
forks, spoons and lids on the cooking
surface, as they may heat up.
Take care also not to place a lid on the
cooking zone when moving a pan.
For safety reasons, food should not be
fried in a small pan with a bottom of less
than 14 cm in diameter.
