Temperature detection
If for any reason the temperatures on any of the cooking zones exceeds the safety
level, then the cooking zone will automatically reduce the heat to a lower power
level.
When you have finished using the cooktop, the cooling fan will continue to run
until the cooktop's electronics have cooled down. The cooling fan switches itself on
and off depending upon the temperature of the electronics.
NOTE
If the induction cooktop overheats because of abnormal operation, C1 will be
displayed and the induction cooktop will turn off.
Power management
The cooking zones, which consist of paired
cooking elements, are restricted to drawing
a certain maximum amount of power.
If you cause a cooking zone to exceed its
maximum allowed power by switching
on the Power Boost function, the Power
Management function automatically reduces
the power setting of the two elements in
the cooking zone and reduces the power
draw.
