Operation Manual

Three protective devices are built
into the hob to protect it against
overheating.
The first device protects the
electronics. If the electronics
temperature rises too high, this
device will act. The hob will be
switched off. The fan will continue
to run to cool the hob will
appear in the display. Press any
button and the message will
disappear. Switch on the hob again
and select a lower power.

The second device protects your
pans. This it does by checking the
temperature of the ceramic plate. It
is important for this device that the
bottom of the pan is flat. If the
temperature is too high the hob
automatically switches to a lower
power. If this device should be
defective and (front zones)
or and (rear zones) will
appear in the display.
If the fault messages F1, F2, F3,
F4, F5, F6 or F8 should appear in
the display telephone the Atag
service department.
The third device protects against a
pan on fire. If you put a pan that is
empty or contains very little on the
hob it will measure the heating
process and find that it is heating
too quickly and switch automatically
to a lower power. This lower power
will not be visible in the display. As
soon as the plate has reached the
maximum temperature the hob will
be switched off (the second device
will then have come into operation).
