Risk of burns from residual heat. After being switched off, the cooking zones need some time to cool down. Look at the residual heat indicator

3 Residual heat can be used for melting and keeping food warm. The induction cooking zones create the heat required for cooking di- rectly in the base of the cookware. The glass ceramic is merely heated by the residual heat of the cookware. The cooling fan switches itself on and off depending upon the temper- ature of the electronics.9 Operating the appliance

Use the induction cooking zones with suitable cookware. Switching the appliance on and off 3 After switching on, within approx. 10 seconds a heat setting or a func- tion must be set, otherwise the appliance automatically switches itself off.

The power function is activated for 8 minutes for the front left cooking zone and for 5 minutes for the front right cooking zone. After these times, the induction cooking zones automatically return to cooking level . 3 If the power function has ended, the cooking zones automatically switch back to the heat setting set previously. Power Management The cooking zones have a maximum power available to them. If this power range is exceeded by switching on the power function, Power Management reduces the heat setting of another cooking zone. The indicator for this cooking zone changes between the heat setting set and maximum possible heat set- ting for one minute. Thereafter the actual heat setting is displayed.
