Safety devices Residual heat indicators While the temperature of the cooking zone remains above 60°C, even after the programme has finished, the residual heat indicators placed near the relevant cooking zone remain lit to prevent the risk of burns. Inactive function If the hob is on but has not been used for approximately 2 minutes, the control panel will be locked. If this continues for an additional 4 minutes, the hob will switch off automatically. Overheating protection Prolonged use of the hob can cause the electronic components to overheat. [. . . ] An indicator light provides a warning when residual heat is present (see Start-up and use). • Keep any object which could melt away from the hob, for example plastic and aluminium objects, or products with a high sugar content. Be especially careful when using plastic film and aluminium foil or packaging: if placed on surfaces that are still hot, they may cause serious damage to the hob. Disposal • When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused. [. . . ]
