4.4 OptiHeat Control (3 step
Residual heat indicator)
WARNING!
/ / As long as the
indicator is on, there is a risk of
burns from residual heat.
The induction cooking zones produce the
heat necessary for the cooking process
directly in the bottom of the cookware. The
glass ceramic is heated by the heat of the
cookware.
The indicators / / appear when a
cooking zone is hot. They show the level of
the residual heat for the cooking zones you
are currently using.
The indicator may also appear:
• for the neighbouring cooking zones even
if you are not using them,
• when hot cookware is placed on cold
cooking zone,
• when the hob is deactivated but the
cooking zone is still hot.
The indicator disappears when the cooking
zone has cooled down.
