How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Overheating protection is a safety feature; do not attempt to bypass it.

  • Check ventilation:
    • Ensure the cabinet under the hob is not packed with items blocking airflow.
    • Verify that installation clearances match Neff specifications.
  • Observe fan operation: During use, you should hear the cooling fan. If not, the fan may be faulty.
  • Reduce load: Avoid running all zones at maximum power for long periods; use lower settings or stagger cooking.
  • If shutdowns continue: A technician should inspect the cooling fan, temperature sensors, and installation, and correct any issues.
