After intensive use, the cooking zone that you have just used can remain hot for several minutes. The H symbol is displayed during this period. Avoid touching the areas concerned during this time.

Anti overheat protection:

Each cooking zone has a safety sensor that constantly monitors the temperature of the bottom of the cookware. In the event that empty cookware is left on a cooking zone that is switched on, the hob automatically lowers the power output and thus limits any risk of damage.

Protection against overflows

• Overflow that spills onto the buttons.
• Metallic object placed on the buttons.
• Remove the object or clean and dry the buttons, then restart cooking.

Auto stop

If this safety system is triggered, the cut-off to the cooking zone is shown with the «AS» display on the control panel and a beep sounds for about 2 minutes. Simply press any of the buttons to stop this. Sounds which are similar to those of a clock mechanism may be given off. These noises occur when the hob is working. They disappear or reduce depending on the heating configuration. There may also be whistling sounds depending on the model and quality of your cookware. The noises described are normal. They are related to induction technology and do not indicate a problem.
