Safety switch-off if the sensors are
covered
Your hob will switch itself off
automatically if one or several of the
sensor controls remain covered for
more than about 10 seconds, for
example by finger contact, food boiling
over, or by an object such as an oven
glove or a tea towel. The residual heat
indicator will appear in the display of
any cooking zones that are still hot.
^ Clean the control panel or remove the
obstruction.
^ Switch the hob back on again with
the ON/OFF sensor s. The cooking
zones can now be used again as
normal.
