Overheating protection
All the induction coils and the cooling
elements for the electronics are fitted
with an overheating protection
mechanism. To prevent the induction
coils and cooling elements from
overheating, the overheating protection
mechanism works on the affected
cooking zone or on the entire hob in the
following ways:
– If the Booster function is being used,
this will be switched off.
– The power level will be reduced.
– If an induction coil is affected, the
error message
FE99 appears and the
hob switches itself off.
The error message will go out, and the
residual heat indicator will appear in the
display of any cooking zone which is
still hot.
The hob can only be used again when
the induction coil has cooled down
sufficiently.
– If a cooling element is affected, the
power supply to the cooking zones
will be reduced, and the set power
level will continue to be displayed.
As soon as the cooling element has
cooled down sufficiently, the cooking
zones will automatically continue to
operate at the original power setting.
Overheating can be caused by:
– Heating up an empty pan
– Fats or oils being heated up on the
highest power setting.
– There being insufficient ventilation to
the underside of the appliance.
If the overheating protection
mechanism triggers again, contact the
Service department.
