Cooktop safety features
Overheat protection
Each burner has overheat protection
(inner t
emperature limiter). It turns the
heating of the cooking off automatically
before it overheats. As soon as the
burner has cooled off, the heating turns
on again.
Overheating can be caused by:
– turning a burner on without putting a
pan on it,
– heating empty cookware,
– a pan with an uneven bottom not
sittin
g evenly on the burner,
– the pan not conducting heat
pr
operly.
You will recognize activation of the
overhe
at protection if the heat keeps
turning on and off at the highest power
setting.
Oven safety features
System lock for the oven
The system lock prevents the oven from
bei
ng used unintentionally (see "System
lock ").
The system lock will remain activated
even aft
er a power failure.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan comes on automatically
when a cooking program is started. The
cooling fan mixes hot air from the oven
cavity with cool room air before venting
it out into the kitchen through vents
located between the appliance door
and the control panel.
The cooling fan will continue to run for
a whil
e after a program is complete to
prevent moisture from building up in the
oven, on the control panel or
surrounding cabinetry.
When the temperature in the oven has
fallen sufficiently, the cooling fan will
tur
n off automatically.
Vented oven door
The oven door is made of glass panes
that have a heat-
reflective coating on
part of their surface.
During operation, air is also circulated
thr
ough the door to keep the outer
panel cool.
The door can be removed and
disassembled for cleaning purposes
(see "Cleanin
g and care").
Safety Door Lock for Self Clean
For safety reasons, the door is locked
as soon
as the Self Clean program is
started. After the self-cleaning program
has finished, the door will remain
locked until the temperature in the oven
has fallen below 535°F (280°C).
