Safety features
Overheating protection
Each cooking zone is equipped with
overheating protection (internal temper-
ature limiter). This switches off the
cooking zone heating element automat-
ically before it overheats. As soon as
the cooking zone temperature has
cooled sufficiently, heating is switched
on again automatically.
The overheating protection may be acti-
vated under the following circum-
stances:
- No cookware is present on the acti-
vated cooking zone.
- The cookware being heated is empty.
- The base of the cookware is not sit-
ting evenly on the cooking zone.
- The cookware is not conducting heat
properly.
You can tell that the overheating protec-
tion has activated because the heating
element switches on and off even when
the highest power level is selected.
