Overheating Protection

Burner temperature too high:
If the temperature of a burner rises above 482°F (250°C), the booster function
will be deactivated (if applicable) and then the generated power of the burner is
reduced. The display shows the actual power level, flashing alternately with the
selected power level. If the temperature of the burner rises above 572°F (300°C),
the cooktop switches off, and the display shows the fault code FE99. After the
temperature drops, the burner can be used normally but it does not switch on
again automatically.
Heat sink temperature too high:
If the heat sink temperature rises above 176°F (80°C), all burners are switched
off. The display alternately flashes 0 and the selected power level. Once the heat
sink temperature drops below 176°F (80°C), the burners switch on again and
operate at their initially set power level.

Residual-Heat Indicator

Each burner has a residual-heat indicator.
If the PTC registers residual heat of more than 140°F after the burner or the
cooktop is shut off, then the residual heat level is indicated via three stacked
horizontal bars, , in the control scale as follows:
 PTC temperature over 212°F:
 PTC temperature between 176°F and 212°F:
PTC temperature between 140°F and 176°F:

The bars go out one at a time as the burner cools down. The last bar is shut off
when the burner can be touched without risk.
In customer programming, the residual-heat indication can be set to the letter
H.
Warning!
If a fault is registered, the residual-heat indicator is not lit, even if the burner is
hot.

Safety Shutoff

Each burner is switched off automatically by the electronic after operating for a
maximum number of hours. The maximum operating time depends on the power
level set (refer to Table 010-7). After each power level change it is reset.
