Limiting the cooking duration
The hob has an automatic device which limits
the duration of use.
If the cooking zone settings are not changed,
the maximum duration of operation for 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
beep will be emitted and, if the zone is hot,
the symbol appears on the display.
