[. . . ] The hob is equipped with an internal safety system. However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the "automatic switch off" function may not have time to react and the pan may reach very high temperatures. The base of the pan could melt and damage the glass on the hob. In this case, do not touch the pan and switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance Service. Pan detection Each hotplate has a minimum limit for detecting pans, which varies depending on the material of the pan being used. You should therefore use the hotplate that is most suitable for the diameter of your pan. ■ Cookware Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction cooking; these may be made from: ■ ■ ■ enamelled steel cast iron special stainless steel induction pans. To determine whether a pan is suitable, check to see if a magnet will stick to its base. There are other types of cookware for induction whose base is not entirely ferromagnetic. When using large cookware on a smaller ferromagnetic area, only the ferromagnetic zone heats up, so heat might not be uniformly distributed. Pans with aluminium areas inserted in the base reduce the ferromagnetic area, so less heat may be supplied and the pan may be difficult to detect or not be detected at all. For good cooking results, the diameter of the cookware's ferromagnetic area should match the size of the hotplate. Select the hotplate with the $ symbol. If a pan has been placed on the hotplate before switching on the hob, it will be detected within 20 seconds of pressing the main switch and the hotplate will be selected automatically. Once detected, select the power level within the next 20 seconds or the hotplate will switch off. If more than one pan is placed on the hob, only one will be detected when switching it on.

Childproof lock With this function, the childproof lock automatically activates when a hob is switched off. Activating and deactivating All of the relevant information on the automatic childproof lock connection can be found in the Basic settings chapter. Activating and deactivating the childproof lock The hob should be turned off. To activate: press the symbol D for approximately 4 seconds. The indicator next to the symbol D lights up for 10 seconds. [. . . ] Rhythmic sounds similar to the hands of a clock This noise is only produced when 3 or more hotplates are working and disappears or is reduced when one of the hotplates is switched off. The noises described are normal, they are part of induction heating technology and not a sign of malfunction.
