Overheat protection
All induction coils and the cooling
elements for the electronics are fitted
with overheating protection. Before the
induction coils or the cooling elements
overheat, the overheat protection
initiates the following measures for the
affected cooking zone or the entire
cooktop:
– If the Booster function is switched
on, it will be switched off.
– If the power level is set between
10
and
12, it will be reduced. The power
level set and the reduced power
level will blink alternately in the
display. The reduced power level is
also represented by the number of
segments in the light ring.
– If an induction coil is affected, the
related cooking zone switches itself
off automatically, and its display first
shows an
0 and then the residual
heat indicator.
Only when the cooking zone has
cooled down sufficiently can it resume
operation in the usual manner.
– If a cooling element is affected, all
cooking zones automatically switch
off, and an
0 will alternate in the
displays with the power level set.
As soon as the cooling elements have
cooled down sufficiently, the cooking
zones will automatically operate at the
power levels originally set.
The overheat protection can be
triggered if:
– Empty cookware is being heated.
– Fats or oils are heated at high power
settings.
– The underside of the appliance is
insufficiently ventilated.
If despite the removal of the cause the
overheat protection is triggered again,
contact customer service.
