Parts and Features (Continued)
EN Safety shutoff
If one of the cooking zones is not switched off or the heat setting is not adjusted after an ex- tended period of time, that particular cooking zone will automatically switch itself off..
Any residual warmth will be indicated with 
(for “hot”) in the digital displays corresponding to the particular cooking zones..
The cooking zones switch themselves off at the following times..
Cooking setting | 1 - 2 | After 6 hours |
Cooking setting | 3 - 4 | After 5 hours |
Cooking setting | 5 - 6 | After 3 hours |
Cooking setting | 7 - 9 | After 1 hour |
If the Hob is overheated because of abnormal operation, 
will be displayed.. And the Hob will be switched off..
Should one or more of the cooking zones switch off before the indicated time has elapsed, see the section “Troubleshooting..”
Other reasons why a cooking zone will switch itself off
All cooking zones will immediately switch themselves off if liquid boils over and lands on the control panel..
The automatic shutoff will also be activated if you place a damp cloth on the control panel.. In both of these instances, the appliance will need to be switched on again using the main power sensor after the liquid or the cloth has been removed 
..
Residual heat indicator
When an individual cooking zone or the hob is turned off, the presence of residual heat is shown with an 
(for “hot”) in the digital display of the appropriate cooking zones. Even after the cooking zone has been switched off, the residual heat indicator goes out only after the cooking zone has cooled..
You can use the residual heat for thawing or keeping food warm..
Important: As long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated, there is a risk of burns..
Important: If the power supply is interrupted, the 
symbol will go out and informa- tion about residual heat will no longer be available.. However, it may still be possible to burn yourself.. This can be avoided by always taking care when near the hob..
