The following safety functions are available to avoid unintended operations.
Sensor Safety Cut-Off
Button monitoring is included to prevent the appliance from unwanted button operation.
In cases where one or more buttons are pressed for longer than 12 seconds, the buzzer will sound for ten minutes to indicate an incorrect operation. For example, an object may be placed on a button, or there could be a sensor failure and so on.
The safety switch-off will cause the hob to go into S-mode and all heater displays will flash “ F ”. If there is no incorrect operation present, both the visual and audible signals will disappear.
If residual heat is present, “ H ” will be displayed on all other heater displays. Over Temperature Switch-Off
Due to the controls being very close to the heater in the middle of the front of the hob, it can occur that an incorrectly placed pot is not sensed by the sensor safety cut off (not covering a button) and heats up the hob to a very high temperature, which makes the glass and the buttons dangerous to touch.
To prevent the hob control unit from damage, the controls constantly monitor the temperature and the hob will automatically switch off if overheating occurs.
This will be indicated by the heater displays with the letter “ t ” time until the temperature decreases.Once the temperature has dropped, the “t” in the heater display will disappear and the hob control unit will revert back into S-Mode. This means that the user can reactivate the appliance by pressing .

Operating Time Limitations
The hob control unit has a limitation on the operating time. If the heat setting for a heater has not been changed for a certain time, the heater will switch off automatically.
A “ 0 ” will be displayed for 10 seconds, however there may be some residual heat present. The limit of the operating time depends on the selected heat setting.
After a heater automatically switches off, as described above, the heater can be used and the maximum operating time for this heat setting will be applied.

Residual Heat Functions
After all cooking processes, some heat will be stored in the vitroceramic glass called residual heat. The appliance can calculate roughly how hot this glass is. If the calculated temperature is higher than + 60 ° C, then this will be indicated in the corresponding heater display for as long as the calculated temperature remains above + 60 ° C, even after the appliance has been switched off.
The residual heat indicator has the lowest priority and is overwritten by every other display value, including during safety switch-off and the displaying of an error code. When voltage is supplied to the hob after a power interruption, the residual heat display indicator will flash. If a heater had a residual heat of greater than + 60 °C before the power interruption occurred, the display will flash while the residual heat remains or until the heater is selected for another cooking operation.

Hints and Tips
Important: When ceramic heaters are operated in higher heat settings, the heated areas may be seen switching on and off. This is due to a safety device, which prevents the glass from overheating.
This is normal at high temperatures, causing no damage to the hob and little delay in cooking times.

WARNING:

• Never operate the hob without pans on the cooking zone.
• Only use flat pans with a sufficiently thick base.
• Make sure the bottom of the pan is dry before placing it on the hob.
• While the cooking zone is in operation, it is important to ensure that the pan is centred correctly above the zone.
• In order to conserve energy, never use a pan with a different diameter to the hotplate being used.
• Do not use saucepans with rough bottoms since these can scratch the glass ceramic surface.
• If possible, always place lids on the pans to avoid heat loss.
• The temperature of accessible parts may become high while the appliance is operating. Keep children and animals well away from the hob during operation and until it has fully cooled after operation.
• If you notice a crack on the cooktop, it must be switched off immediately and replaced by authorised service personnel.
