Cooking Guidelines; Timer; Countdown Timer; Programming A Burner To Switch Off Automatically - Bosch PCS8 U Series Instruction Manual

A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound (thud)
will be produced. This is not a fault - this means that the safety
device is no longer operating.
Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition sparkers
are dirty they will not light properly. Clean them periodically
using a small non-wire brush. Bear in mind that the ignition
sparkers must not suffer any serious impacts.
