SAFETY DURING OPERATION
•Residual heat
After intensive use, the cooking zone that you
have just used can remain hot for several min-
utes.
An ""H
H"" is displayed during this period.
Avoid touching the hot areas during this time.
•Temperature limiter
Each cooking zone is equipped with a safety
sensor that constantly monitors the tempera-
ture of the bottom of the cookware. In the
event that an empty vessel is left on a cooking
zone that is on, this sensor automatically
adjusts the power output of the hob, thereby
avoiding any risk of damage to the cookware
or the hob.
•"Small Items" safety
A small object (such as a fork, a spoon, a ring,
etc.) left alone on the hob is not detected as a
piece of cookware.
The display flashes and no heat is produced.
Warning
Several small objects together on a
cooking zone may be detected as cook-
ware.
If the display remains on: power may be
supplied and the objects may be heated.
2 2 / USING YOUR APPLIANCE
•Protection against overflows
The hob may shut down (with
the adjacent symbol in the
display) automatically in any
of these three situations:
-- Overflow that spills onto the touch controls.
- Damp towel placed over the touch controls.
- Metallic object placed on the touch con-
trols.
Clean the hob or remove the object, then
begin cooking again.
•Auto-Stop system
If you forget to turn off a cooking zone, your
hob is equipped with an ""A
Au utto o--S Stto op p s sy ys stte em m""
safety measure that will automatically shut off
the forgotten cooking zone after an amount
of time pre-set at the factory (see the table
below).
In the event that this safety measure is trig-
gered, the powering off of the cooking zone
is indicated by an ""A
AS S"" displayed in the con-
trol panel. Simply pressing on any of the
touch controls will cancel this display.
