Residual heat indicator o To the left of each control knob, there is a residual heat indicator. o After turning a hob zone on, when the temperature of the zone goes above 65°C the corresponding residual heat indicator neon will come on. o After turning a hob zone off, the residual heat indicator neon will stay on until the temperature of the zone falls below 65°C. o IMPORTANT: The residual heat indicator will disappear if your mains supply is cut.
o Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water as possible to reduce cooking times. o Food or liquid that has high sugar content may damage the hob top if it comes into contact with the ceramic hob surface. Any spillages should be wiped up immediately, however this may not prevent the hob surface from becoming damaged. o IMPORTANT: The ceramic hob surface is tough; however it is not unbreakable and can be damaged.
