Any way to disable the 2-hour time limit on the Buffalo CP799 3kw induction hob?

Post by molerat » Thu Jun 14, 2018 4:02 pm

I recently bought a Buffalo CP799 "Heavy Duty 3KW Induction Hob" but it switches itself off after around 2 hours of simmering.

The user manual says "If the appliance is switched on with inactivity for 2 hours, it will switch off automatically."

Common sense would dictate that actively boiling a pot should not count as "inactivity" but it does.

Does anyone know if there's a way to disable this (extremely annoying) auto-shutoff?

Thank you.

P.S. the user manual is here: https://media.nisbets.com/asset/en/media/user manual cp799.pdf

Can you not just turn it down slightly and then back up after say 90 minutes? Guessing that they mean activity to be user interaction.
