seconds, however there may be some
residual heat present. The limit of the
operating time depends on the selected
heat setting.
After a heater automatically switches off ,
as described above, the heater can be
used and the maximum operating time
for this heat setting will be applied.
Residual Heat Functions
After all cooking processes, some heat
will be stored in the vitroceramic glass
called residual heat. The appliance can
calculate roughly how hot this glass is.
If the calculated temperature is higher
than +60°C, then this will be indicated
in the corresponding heater display for
as long as the calculated temperature
remains above +60°C, even after the
appliance has been switched off .
The residual heat indicator has the low-
est priority and is overwritten by every
other display value, including during
safety switch-off and the displaying of
an error code. When voltage is supplied
to the hob after a power interruption, the
residual heat display indicator will fl ash.
If a heater had a residual heat of greater
than +60°C before the power interrup-
tion occurred, the display will fl ash while
the residual heat remains or until the
heater is selected for another cooking
operation.
Hints and Tips
Important: When ceramic heaters
are operated in higher heat set-
tings, the heated areas may be seen
switching on and off . This is due to a
safety device, which prevents the glass
from overheating.
This is normal at high temperatures,
causing no damage to the hob and little
delay in cooking times.
WARNING:
• Never operate the hob without pans
on the cooking zone.
• Only use fl at pans with a suffi ciently
thick base.
• Make sure the bottom of the pan is
dry before placing it on the hob.
• While the cooking zone is in operation,
it is important to ensure that the pan is
centred correctly above the zone.
• In order to conserve energy, never
use a pan with a diff erent diameter to
the hotplate being used.

• Do not use saucepans with rough
bottoms since these can scratch the
glass ceramic surface.
• If possible, always place lids on the
pans to avoid heat loss.
• The temperature of accessible
parts may become high while the
appliance is operating. Keep children
and animals well away from the hob
