Hob Protection
If the hob has been installed correctly and is used properly, any protec-
tive devices are rarely required.
Fan: Protects and cools controls and power components. It can operate
at two different speeds and is activated automatically. Fan runs until the
electronic system has sufficiently cooled down regardless of the appli-
ance or the cooking zones being turned on or off.
Temperature sensor: The temperature of electronic circuits is continu-
ously monitored by a temperature sensor. If temperature is raised be-
yond a safe level, this protection system will reduce cooking zone heat
setting or shut down the cooking zones adjacent to the overheated
electronic circuits.
Pan detection: allows the hob to detect pans placed on a cooking zone.
Small objects placed on the cooking zone (eg, spoon, knife, ring ...) will
not be recognised as pans and the hob will not operate.
Pan detector
A pan detector is installed in all induction hobs. The pan detector starts
heating automatically when a pan is detected on a cooking zone and
stops heating when it is removed. This helps save electricity.
• When an suitable pan is placed on a cooking zone, the display
shows the heat setting.
• Induction requires the use of suitable cookware with ferromagnetic
base (see Table).
If a pan is not placed on a cooking zone or the pan is unsuitable, the
symbol is displayed. The cooking zone will not operate. If a pan is not
detected within 10 minutes, the cooking zone will be switched off.
