4.5 LOCKING THE CONTROLS
Child safety:
Your hob has a child safety device which locks
the controls when the hob is not in use or during
cooking (to maintain the current settings). For
safety reasons, only the “off” control is always
active. It authorises a heating zone to be switched
off even when the hob is locked.
Locking:
If your hob is switched off: Press and hold
keys T3 + T7 until the "bloc" locking symbol
appears in the displays and a short beep confirms
the operation.
If your hob is switched on:
Press and hold keys
+ (T3 + T7) until the
"bloc" locking symbol appears in the displays and
a short beep confirms the operation. The display
for operating cooking zones alternately indicates
the power and “bloc”.
When you press the power or timer keys for the
operating zones:
"bloc" appears for 2 seconds and then switches
off.
Unlocking:
Press keys
+ (T3 + T7) at the same time
until the
"bloc” locking symbol disappears in the
display and 2 short beeps confirm the operation.
The locking is memorised in the case of a power
cut.
CLEAN LOCK function:
This function locks the hob off while it is being
cleaned.
To activate Clean Lock, press and release keys
T3 + T7 at the same time; a beep sounds
and the “bloc” symbol flashes in the displays.
After a predefined 1 min period, the lock will
automatically disengage. Two short beeps sound
and "bloc" switches off. You can stop the Clean
Lock at any time by pressing and holding keys
T3 + T7.
We do not recommend using any hob
protection mechanisms.
4.6 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
Residual heat:
After intensive use, the hob may remain hot for
several minutes.
The “H” symbol displays during this period (4.6.1).
Avoid touching the zones concerned during this
time.
Temperature limiter:
Each cooking zone is fitted with a safety sensor
that continuously monitors the temperature of
the bottom of the pan. If an empty pan is left on
a cooking zone that is switched on, this sensor
automatically adjusts the heat delivered by the
hob to minimise the risk of damage to the utensil
or hotplate.
Protection in the event of spillage:
The hob may shut down (with the special symbol
in the display) automatically and a beep
may sound (depending on the model) in any of
these 3 situations:
- Overflow that spills onto the control keys
(4.6.2) .
- Damp cloth placed over the keys.
- Metallic object placed on the control keys
(4.6.3).
Remove the object or clean and dry the keys and
resume cooking.
"Auto-Stop" system:
If you forget to switch off a pan, your hotplate has
an “Auto-Stop” safety function that automatically
switches off the forgotten cooking zone after a
pre-set time (between 1 and 10 hours based on
the power level setting).
If the safety system is triggered, the cooking
zone is shown as cut off with "AS" displayed on
the control panel and a beep sounds for about
2 minutes. To stop it, simply press any of the
control keys.
Sounds similar to the ticking of a clock may
be heard.
These sounds occur when the hob is in operation
and disappear or decrease according to the
heating configuration. Low whistling or humming
may also occur depending on the model and on
the quality of your pan. These noises are a normal
part of induction technology and do not indicate
a fault.
