Residual heat indicator
The hob has a residual heat indicator for each hotplate. It
indicates which hotplates are still hot.
This also enables to you save energy by making use of the
residual heat, e.g. to keep a small meal warm or to melt
chocolate.
Setting procedure:
The hotplate controls are used to select the heat setting
for the individual hotplates.
1 = lowest heat setting
9 = highest heat setting
The indicator light illuminates when a hotplate is switched
on.
