Safety lock

Keep children away from the hob for
their own safety.
Your appliance is equipped with a
safety lock to prevent the hob and the
cooking zones being switched on or
any settings being altered.
The safety lock can be activated when
the hob is switched off as well as when
it is in use.
If the safety lock is activated when the
hob is switched off, then the hob
cannot be switched on.
If the safety lock is activated when the
hob is in use:
– The cooking zone power settings
cannot be changed.
– The cooking zones and hob can be
switched off, but once switched off
cannot be switched on again.
Cooking zones without double
circle/extended zone:
To activate the safety lock, touch the
sensor for the safety lock $ until the
relevant indicator lamp comes on.
To de-activate the safety lock, touch
the sensor for the safety lock $ until the
indicator lamp goes out.
Cooking zones with double
circle/extended zone:
To activate the safety lock, touch the -
and + sensors at the same time until
you hear the audible tone.
When touching a sensor for a zone
where the safety lock is activated, the
audible signal emitted is slightly longer
than normal.
To de-activate the safety lock, touch
the - and + sensors at the same time
until you hear the audible tone.
Please note that the safety lock will
deactivate if there is a power cut.
