Limiting the cooking duration
The cooktop has an automatic device
which limits the duration of use.
If the cooking zone settings are not
changed, the maximum duration of
operation of each zone depends on the
power level selected.
When the device for limiting the duration of
use is activated, the cooking zone turns off,
a short alert sounds and, if the zone is hot,
the
symbol appears on the display.

Protection from overheating
If the cooktop is used on full power for a
long period, the electronics will have
trouble cooling down if the room
temperature is high.
If the temperature of the internal electronic
components exceeds the safety threshold,
the appliance will switch off automatically
and code "ER21" will be displayed (see
"Error codes").

Advice on energy-saving
• The diameter of the base of the pan must
not be greater than the width of the
cooking zone.
• The pans must not be placed outside the
perimeter of the cooktop or above the
controls on the front panel.
• When buying a pan, check whether the
diameter indicated is that of the base or
the top of the pan, as the top is almost
always larger than the base.
• When preparing dishes with long
cooking times, you can save time and
energy by using a pressure cooker,
which also makes it possible to retain the
vitamins contained in the food.
• Make sure that the pressure cooker
contains enough liquid as, if there is not
enough and it overheats, this may cause
damage to both the pressure cooker
and the cooking zone.
• If possible, always cover pans with a
suitable lid.
• Choose a pan suitable for the quantity of
food to be cooked. A large, half-empty
pan leads to a waste of energy.
If the cooktop and the oven are
being used at the same time, under
certain circumstances, the
maximum power limit that can be
used by the electrical system might
be exceeded.
