It can overheat or damage the control area and may trigger unwanted inputs. The control strip is not an extra cooking zone or pan rest.
What the observation means
A large pan can overhang the controls even while centred on a nearby zone. The permitted cookware size and position still matter.
A useful next step
Move it using safe heat-resistant handling to a suitable surface. If controls become unresponsive or display a warning, stop and follow the manual's cooling guidance. Do not dismiss subsequent erratic behaviour as merely a settings issue after direct heat exposure.
Manuals and supporting guidance
Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
