If you were boiling the splashed water could have turned it off, I've had water lower burner (one level). It has to splash just right lol. Two burners though seems unlikely. Hmmm.

I have a supentown countertop induction hob. The timer turns off the burner by desing. I like it.

We went to a Thermador induction demo a couple weeks ago and I recall that they said that the timer could be set to turn off the burner. Perhaps the timer can serve both purposes?

I do recall that they said this because I've read of cooktops where the timer only lets you know that a certain amount of time has passed and I liked the "turn off burner" feature.

Wasn't splashed water or anything like that. Tried it again tonight and it worked. Can't find any documentation whatsoever, so we're not going to rely on it. Interesting find, though.

Why don't you call the manufactuerer and ask them. Maybe it's an undocumented feature that you stumbled upon.

I also have the 36" Thermador and I have the same experience. When the timer goes off, that burner shuts off. I seem to think someone here posted about that happening on these induction units so I wasn't surprised even though it says nothing about it in the manual. Did you realize you can set individual timers for each burner? That surprised me!

Last year, jr33176 reported that on the thermador induction, the timers can be set for each burner. Don't know much more but post was from last August.
